Does Horny Goat Weed Work?

In this article, I will discuss and answer the question Does Horny Goat Weed Work?, Prior to arriving at the question on your mind I will explain briefly for those who are perhaps unfamiliar what this herb is, how it functions and what the dosage is and how to take it for optimum effect.

What exactly is this weirdly named weed?

This “weirdly named weed” is not so weird … nor is it a weed! It is a flowering plant botanically named Epimedium and the nickname by which it is better and more commonly known is perhaps not so strange considering the history behind the name and how its was discovered.

As the legend goes, a goat farmer noticed his heard of male goats would eat the leaves of a certain weed and later be more sexually active. Not to be outdone by his heard the farmer in question tried the leaves himself and found himself, rather, hmmm “hot under the collar” to put it mildly.

The name in Chinese actually translates to “weed for men who like “sweet thing (sex)” too much”.

What Is The Functionality Of This Herb?

For male impotence, it functions by blocking and inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down nitric oxide,  phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5 for short) is that very enzyme. The active compound, Icariin, binds itself to the PDE 5 enzyme and thus blocking it from breaking down nitric oxide.

Nitric Oxide is an essential element to obtaining not just a good quality strong lasting erection but any erection at all! as zero nitric oxide equals zero erection, nothing nada!

So something that enhances nitric oxide, or indeed prevents its’ breakdown is going to be pretty good for your “pocket rocket!”

Horny Goat Weed does both, but not straight away. After using the herb for a while it upregulates the genes involved in nitric oxide production helping your body to produce more nitric oxide all the while it is helping to maintain nitric oxide levels by means of PDE 5 inhibition.

The herb also helps the circulation by means of assisting to clear blocked and calcified arteries making it extremely good for your circulatory and heart health if used long term.

This is great news as erectile dysfunction is usually, but not always, indicative of poor heart health and a sign of things..much worse things to come.

This is because the endothelium in your penis is approximately 1/3 of the width of the endothelium in your heart. The Endothelium is the smooth lining of arteries that dilates to allow for blood to flow.

This Herb also mimics testosterone but does not actually increase testosterone levels. It does not increase levels of the luteinizing hormone or the follicle stimulating hormone, both of which directly increase your T levels.

It does not work in the way in which a lot of herbs that are known to augment testosterone levels do which is the hypothalamus pituitary testicles axis or the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis.

It simply mimics the male sex hormone inside the testes (or ovaries for women) without affecting levels of the Follicle Stimulating Hormone or indeed the Lutenizing Hormone.

This Also means that the gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland are not stimulated nor additional release of gonadotropes occurs due to taking Epimedium.

This means that no actual increase in testosterone occurs, but you can experience all the benefits of increased testosterone such as erectile firmness, increased sex drive, less stress, more energy and vitality to name a few!

Epimedium Dosage

The ideal dosage for optimum effects is 1 gramme to be taken either once or twice daily as required. The more severe your erectile dysfunction is the more likely you will need to take the second dose.

If you do have a particularly strong case of erectile dysfunction, I suggest an additional dosage in addition to the twice daily but only when you are expecting to make good use of your “love rod!“.

In this instance take 1 gramme 30 to 60 mins prior to sexual activity.

How To Take Horny Goat Weed For Optimum Results

For the best results in improving erectile function, it would not be a good idea to take this herb with foods high in nitrates as well as vitamins and minerals to increase testosterone production – it would be a fantastic idea!

The more intelligent person would make sure to take this herb with Indole 3 Carbinol to help prevent the elevated testosterone from binding to estrogen. Although, not essential for horny goat weed as it does not actually increase testosterone but mimics it.

However, by simply consuming and adding Indole 3-carbinol to your diet you may very well experience an elevation in testosterone levels by simply preventing it from binding to estrogen.

Indole 3-carbinol is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables and is the most powerful estrogen blocking substance known to date – even more powerful than pharmaceutical alternatives.

Such foods would be your dark leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables, like Spinach, Broccoli, Arugula Lettuce, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Kale. The easiest way and very healthy way is to make a smoothie or a juice and sprinkle in your Dose of horny goat weed.

The ideal time to take for dual dosage would be early afternoon and late in the evening. Single dose, go for early afternoon as this is when your T levels will be dropping off from their early morning peak.

Note for the ladies: Indole 3-carbinol will not lower your estrogen levels, it will just block estrogen from binding to testosterone. There are no issues with female fertility, sexuality or feminity associated with Indole 3-carbinol.

Does Horny Goat Weed Work?

Heck yeah! it works and is very well known to be an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction but it is not for everyone!.

If you already have good circulation, nice clean and clear arteries, good Nitric Oxide production and levels and your testosterone is in the normal or above normal range then this herb is not going to do much for you in terms of getting better more rigid boner when you don’t have a problem in that area – it may still augment your sex drive through!

Don’t take this herb expecting it to be exactly like Viagra and get solid erections shortly after taking. Do take the herb and keep taking the herb with patience and the knowledge that it can help you to regain more spontaneous and naturally occurring erections on command. 

It does and is very well known for making a gentleman’s “mushroom head” a little hotter and more sensitive during sexual activity!

At first, I had to keep taking it for a week before I seen some results. I take mine in conjunction with Tongkat Ali.  It works nicely with other more direct testosterone boosters also, like Pine Pollen Tincture, for example.

It may take you shorter or longer to see results. Everyone is different. My Erectile Dysfunction was not caused by low T or poor circulation, or low nitric oxide levels but as the result of major trauma after a horrid motorbike accident way back in October 2009.
