Horny Goat Weed may not sound serious, but in
reality, it could provide a serious boost to those who
need it. An all-natural phyto-aphrodisiac, it's based on
the latest scientific research into male performance and
well-being. Each safe, highly potent capsule contains
500 mg of standardized Horny Goat Weed (10% Icarin) to
support libido and sexual activity through a variety of
mechanisms.
Horny Goat Weed is a traditional botanical medicine
used in China and Japan. Although this herb (which also
goes by the names Yin Yang Huo, Inyokaku, and Herba
Epimedii) has a history of traditional use for disorders
of the kidneys, joints, liver, back and knees, its
principle use is as an aphrodisiac.
According to one herbal author, Horny Goat Weed has
testosterone-like effects. It stimulates sexual activity
in both men and women, increases sperm production,
stimulates the sensory nerves, and increases sexual
desire.
Horny Goat Weed's aphrodisiac effects has been
verified in both animal and human research. Mice treated
with a Horny Goat Weed preparation produced
"apparent effects on the improvement of
sexuality". It was also shown to improve sperm
producing capability. Since Horny Goat Weed has been
traditionally used for kidney disease, it's interesting
that research has demonstrated a sexual potentiation
effect and improved quality of life in patients with
chronic renal failure who were given Horny Goat Weed.
Research has shown that Horny Goat Weed significantly
increases testosterone in mice. This certainly appears
to be the herb's mechanism of action, although Horny
Goat Weed may have more than one. For example, it has
been established that sexual arousal is linked to the
activity of cholinergic neurotransmitters. However, an
enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inactivates
cholinergic neurotransmitters within 1/500 of a second.
As it turns out, research shows that Horny Goat Weed is
capable of inhibiting AChE. Such an inhibition may
support higher levels of the key cholinergic
neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. In
addition, research has shown that Horny Goat Weed has
anti-fatigue effects and helps prevents adrenal
exhaustion.

Horny Goat Weed (epimedium): Will it make you horny,
too? by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Epimedium is a pungent ornamental herb found in Asia
and the Mediterranean. The Chinese call epimedium Yin
Yang Huo, which loosely means “licentious goat
plant.” Legend has it that the name horny goat weed
came from a herder who noticed his goats becoming more
sexually active after eating the plant. Supplement
companies have adopted the provocative name by which it
is known in the U.S.
Horny goat weed was named epimedium because it is
similar to a plant found in the ancient Asian kingdom of
Media, now a part of Iran. Epimedium is a genus of many
related plant species and some are used for medicinal
purposes, including Epimedium sagittatum, Epimedium
brevicornum, and Epimedium koreanum. Although epimedium
has a history of traditional use for disorders of the
kidneys, joints, and liver, its principle use in the
United States is as an aphrodisiac and to combat
fatigue.
What the research says about epimedium
Very little research has been published in the
Western medical literature regarding this plant. Our
Chinese study investigated the therapeutic effect of
epimedium sagittatum on 22 patients with chronic renal
failure on hemodialysis. Twelve patients with
hemodialysis were served as controls. Epimedium
sagittatum had a sex enhancing effect and improved their
quality of life.
Epimedium mechanism of action
The exact way that epimedium works remains unclear.
Animal studies have shown that it may influence levels
of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, serotonin,
and dopamine and reduce cortisol levels. The leaves of
epimedium sagittatum contain a variety of flavonoids,
icariin, sterols and an alkaloid called magnaflorine.
It’s quite possible epimedium sagittatum influences
several aspects of human sexual biochemistry. Icariin is
thought to help with erectile function.
