What is Horny Goat Weed?

Horny goat weed is a leafy plant that is native to Asia and the Mediterranean region. It is also known as Epimedium and Yin Yan Huo.
Horny goat weed has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.

Why Do People Use Horny Goat Weed?

1) Erectile Dysfunction and Sexual Dysfunction in Women

According to folklore, horny goat weed's reputed aphrodisiac qualities were discovered when a Chinese goat herder noticed increased sexual activity in his flock after they ingested the weed.
Animal studies indicate that horny goat weed may work by increasing nitric oxide levels, which relaxes smooth muscle and lets more blood flow to the penis or clitoris.
Horny goat weed also appears to act by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme, which is the same way that the popular drug Viagra works.
Some evidence suggests horny goat weed may modulate levels of the hormones cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormone, bringing low levels back to normal.

2) Menopause

A study tested the estrogenic activity of 32 herbs used for menopause. Epimedium brevicornum, was one of the highest estrogenic activity.

Safety

There isn't enough information on horny goat weed to safely recommend it for erectile dysfunction or menopause.
In one study, epimedium koreanum was found to cause significant inhibition of the cholinesterase enzyme. This can theoretically increase the risk of loss of muscle co-ordination and jerky movements due to acetylcholine buildup in muscles.
Animal studies also indicate that high doses of icariin, a compound found in horny goat weed, may be toxic to the kidneys and liver.

  2. Horny Goat Weed was discovered in ancient China when a goat herder discovered that his herd consistently indulged in heavy sexual activity after chewing on the leaves of this leafy, flowering plant.

    We do not know if he tried it and experienced the plant’s aphrodisiacal qualities, but one thing we’re sure of is that ever since it was discovered, it has been consumed by humans and has proven its sexual activity-enhancing powers.

  4. Testosterone is so important for men that any decrease in the level of the primary hormone could have a negative effect. As men age and their testosterone levels go down, they experience issues like gaining fat and losing their libido.

    Natural testosterone enhancers are available on the market and some of these supplements deliver much better results than others. full genf20 plus site

  5. The goji berry has been known to traditional Chinese healers for over 2,000 years. Also called wolfberry, the bright red fruit comes from a shrub that grows predominantly in China and several other Asian countries.

    Studies today suggest that goji berries are packed with antioxidants. There is also evidence that they reduce the signs of aging, support gastrointestinal health and they also improve cardiovascular health. defining vigrx plus website

  8. An amazing testimony on how i conceive and also get cure from my fibroid permanently with his natural herbs , i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Dr Onokun has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Dr Onokun, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week.
