Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand (prHWY.com) May 8, 2012 - Whoever gave the name horny goat weed was clever enough to know that it will catch every body's attention. Horny goat weed has been proven to be a sexual enhancer, libido booster, and a traditional aphrodisiac for centuries. It improves sexual performance and response to both men and women. Horny goat weed can be the natural solution for men who are shamefully suffering from impotence and erectile dysfunction, and for women who fails to generate interest in sex.

Behind the name is a stern herb more properly known as Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC). The Chinese believed that horny goat weed serves as the food to a mythical animal called yin yang, which is famous for its ability to achieve up to 100 orgasms per day. Another legend suggests that the name horny goat weed was given to the epimedium herb when a goat herder observed promiscuous activities in his goats after eating the weed.

Horny Goat Weed is a flowery herb growing in areas of high altitudes in China and Korea. There are three known epimedium species including brevicorum, sagittatum, and grandiflorum. All three possess potent chemicals for female and male enhancement effects. The leaf of horny goat weed is rich in bioflavonoids, plant sterols, polysaccharides, and a special alkaloid called magnaflorine. According to studies, one of the flavonoids called icariin is the one responsible for the different horny goat weed benefits to sexual health, alleviating menstrual discomforts, and relieving fatigue.

Clinical studies show that icariin extract works by increasing the production of nitric oxide, a chemical that stimulates relaxation of smooth muscles to allow more blood flow. Adequate blood flow is needed by the penis to sustain erections and the clitoris to stimulate sexual excitement and response. Experts also believe that horny goat weed supplements have estrogen-inhibiting properties that help balance Female Hormones. Estrogen balance is very important in relieving the discomforts related to menstruation and menopause. It possesses immune-boosting properties that modulate the defenses of the immune system against invading infectious microorganisms. When used together with other herbs like garlic and green tea, horny goat weed can prevent build up of cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels, reducing the risk for fatal cardiovascular diseases. Aside from its libido-boosting properties, men also use horny goat weed supplements for body building, as it improves stamina due to its effects on Testosterone levels.

Unlike synthetic libido booster Viagra, horny goat weed is all natural. Horny goat weed side effects are mild and tolerable. There have been reports of dizziness, fever, allergies, dry mouth, nausea, and vomiting associated with using horny goat weed supplements. But most of the time, horny goat weed benefits always outweigh these potential side effects.
