Horny goat weed is a Chinese herb that has been used for thousands of years to increase libido and has been taken by both men and women. While it has been popular in China for centuries it's now used worldwide to enhance libido and it works - here's why...

History

Horny goat weed is a great name for a libido enhancer and the name dates back thousands of years when a Chinese goat feeder, noticed an increase in sexual activity in his flock after they had eaten it and the name was born.

A great name but how actually does it work?

Epimedium (its proper scientific name) is also known as Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, or Yin Yang Huo. Horny goat weed consists of around 25 species of herbaceous plants from the Berberidaceae family.

They are not just found in Asia - but also European Countries on the Med and all over Asia and is abundant at high altitudes.

How Does It Work?

Horny Goat increases levels of nitric oxide, which is essential to an erection as it allows blood flow to increase to the genitals and create an erection for example.

Low nitric oxide levels are a common cause of low libido ( it declines with age) and it's a fact if you don't get enough of this chemical you will fail to get an erection due to insufficient blood flow and you can top these levels up by taking horny goat weed.

Medical tests have shown that Horny Goat Weed is able to relax rabbit blood vessel tissue by increasing nitric oxide production. Other medical testing has shown that injections of Epimedium extract, directly into the penis shows an increase in the penile blood pressure of rats.

Horny Goat Weed is also believed to help restore low levels of both testosterone improving libido and sex drive.

While it helps on a physical level it also helps on a mental level to increase energy levels and combat fatigue, by working as an adaptogen increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine which help put you in the mood. It also reduces cortisol levels when they are high which can cause fatigue.

Many people just look at the physical problems but loss of libido is in many people as much in the mind as in the body.

There have been various tests on humans and they have been positive:

For example a human double blind testing has shown that a group who took Horny Goat Weed showed an increase in both libido and overall sexual satisfaction in over 70% of the group.

Horny goat weed has been used for thousands of years to increase libido and while it will not work for everyone, as everyone is unique in terms of overall sexual wellness, it's safe and natural and if you try it you maybe glad you did.
