How Does Horny Goat Weed Work?
Firstly, a little background.
The story of how the herb got its name comes from a Chinese sheepherder, who discovered the herb's effects when his flock began to consume the weed.
He noticed increased sexual activity among the sheep, which is an effect from the primary ingredient called icariin, which is now known to enhance erectile function.
This icariin is found in other herbs at only 5% to 60% potency but is much more concentrated in the horny goat weed herb.
How Horny Goat Week Works Studies have shown that horny goat weed, or its medical name Epimedium boosts testosterone in mice.
This is but one of the herb's powerfully positive effects.
Epimedium works by increasing the levels of nitric oxide, which helps relax the smooth muscles of the genital area - this improves blood flow into the penis or clitoral areas enhancing sexual pleasure and performance.
It also helps men increase their stamina and last longer during sex.
In other words it also reduces premature ejaculation.
It also acts as a low intensity PDE-5 inhibitor.
PDE-5 is a hormone that keeps track of how hard erections are.
When damage to the penis occurs from erections being too hard, its called priapism.
Horny goat weed produces a bit more nitric oxide, and a bit more PDE-5 to prevent any problems.
As more blood flows into the penis, the PDE-5, naturally ocurring substance, keeps the nitric oxide at a stable level to balance but strengthen erections.
Horny Goat Weed has a very small but extremely beneficial effect from the added PDE-5 enzyme produced.
Viagra does the same thing, but does this to a dangerous level and also produces harmful side effects.
The blend of ingredients in the Horny Goat Weed herb has no known side effects and enhances sexual performance by increasing energy levels, promoting healthy sex hormone production, and improving overall well-being.
For men it improves blood flow and sexual vigor, sperm count, and desire for sex.
Research also shows that Horny Goat Weed can give you more energy naturally and reduces exhaustion.
