HORNY GOAT WEED
Believed to enhance sexual performance through a variety of mechanisms such as increased testosterone production, increased energy and increased sexual hormone production, Horny Goat Weed has quickly become one of the fastest selling herbal supplements on the market.
This remarkable herb seems custom-made by nature for the flagging male and female libido, especially when combined with certain other herbs. Specifically, Yin Yang Huo has been shown to stimulate the supra renal glands, and triggers increased hormonal secretions. Research has shown that male sperm count and semen density increase substantially.
Yin Yang Huo also expands the circulatory system's blood vessels, while allowing hormone-enriched blood to penetrate sensitive tissues. The Chinese claim this improved circulation eliminates tiredness and increases energy--while nervous stimulation is boosted as the brain is flooded with hormone-rich blood.
Horny Goat Weed has been used as an aphrodisiac for hundreds of years, and research has also proven its effects on improving sexual desire and performance. So how does Horny Goat Weed work? Research has shown that Horny Goat Weed can inhibit an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE rapidly stops neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses like those found in the brain and at neuromuscular junctions, which are needed for speedy responses in the neuromuscular system. By inhibiting AChE, Horny Goat Weed supports higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal
Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo)
Used by practitioners for over 2,000 years, horny goat weed is several species of epimedium, a leafy plant which grows in the wild, most abundantly at higher altitudes. The leaves of the plant contain a variety of flavonoids, polysaccharides, sterols and an alkaloid called magnaflorine. The plant has long been employed to restore sexual fire, boost erectile function, allay fatigue and alleviate menopausal discomfort.
According to many experiments conducted by pharmacognosist, Albert Leung, Ph.D. and Arkansas herbalist Steven Foster, Horny Goat Weed improved the sexual function of male animals. The actions of this herb seem to resemble those of androgens, the sex hormones that control sexual desire. The most potent of the androgens, testosterone, is responsible for developing the libido and maintaining sex drive. Some research has shown that HGW might also inhibit AchE (acetycholinesterase), an enzyme that stops neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses. Such inhibition of AchE might lead to a prolonged nervous system response, possibly increasing sexual arousal.
