Why and Where to Buy Horny Goat Weed
Horny Goat Weed extract (derived from several species of plant in the genus Epimedium) is an effective, natural aphrodisiac that is suitable for both men and women. Known as Yin Yang Huo in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the plant has several uses but is most famous for its effects upon desire, libido and stamina.
The plants have a wide range, spreading from Siberia and Mongolia, through China and many parts of mainland south-east Asia, with some species being found as far away as south-eastern Europe and western Asia. Epimedium plants also have a wide range of colloquial names that reflect both their diverse habitats and traditional uses. English names for the plants include Barrenwort, Rowdy Lamb Herb, Fairy Wings and Bishop's Hat, as well as (of course) the now famous epithet of Horny Goat Weed.
The name Horny Goat Weed comes from an ancient Chinese legend that tells of a goat herder who noticed that his animals became more amorous after eating the plant. Whether or not this legend is true, Horny Goat Weed has been used for thousands of years in China, and was even used by some Asian cultures to help great leaders and generals get the most from their sometimes huge harems!
Although it is possible to buy pure, dried Horny Goat Weed from herbalists and TCM shops this is not normally recommended as the dry plant material contains only small amounts of the active ingredient – icariin, and one would have to consume quite a large quantity of the plant to achieve the desired effect. Most products that either contain Horny Goat Weed or else are sold as Pure Horny Goat Weed contain an extract of the plant. Extracts vary in strength from 5% up to 60% icariin by weight, with higher strength extracts (usually above 20%) being reserved only for laboratory use.
Experiments upon animals have demonstrated that icariin is a potent PDE-5 inhibitor and raises levels of nitric oxide in the blood. Nitric oxide causes small blood vessels to dilate, allowing more blood to flow more quickly. This both aids sexual function and increases sensitivity for both men and women.
Unfortunately because Epimedium species are not widely cultivated for medicinal uses (though they are very popular with gardeners, who prize them for their ornamental foliage) there is some concern about the over-exploitation of indigenous populations, especially in China, with some species potentially being endangered. Several providers of Epimedium extract do now use extract obtained from plants that have been cultivated rather than harvested from the wild, so it is recommended that you check the label or with the manufacturer to ensure that the Horny Goat Weed you buy is responsibly sourced.
Pure Horny Goat Weed is a powerful, 400mg capsule of Horny Goat Weed extract, standardized to 20% icariin - you would have to eat 10 grams of dried plant material to enjoy the same effect as from just one capsule. Visit Buy Horny Goat Weed now.
