Everyone has heard of Viagra – the drug that has given many men the best sex of their lives. However, it’s side affects – such as giving everything a blue tint are as also well known. In addition – some men should not take Viagra such as those that suffer from heart disease. 

I have to admit I tried Viagra to see what it did – after spending money for a doctor’s appointment AND paying $10 dollars for each pill. The effect? Yes – Viagra did make me REAL horny AND gave me a rock hard erection – but it did also tint everything blue!! I thought – great but is there something else on the market with similar effects. 

At my corner gas station was a small packet being sold for a dollar called “Horny Goat Weed.” I thought if this stuff works, great but WHO has heard of Horny Goat Weed?

Behind the funny name of horny goat weed stands a time-tested aphrodisiac that increases libido in men and women, and improves erectile function in men. Known also as Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo in China, horny goat weed was first described in ancient classical Chinese medicinal texts. 

Although this herb has a history of traditional use for disorders of the kidneys, joints, liver, back and knees, its principle use is as an aphrodisiac. According to one herbal expert, Horny Goat Weed has testosterone-like effects. It stimulates sexual activity in both men and women, increases sperm production, stimulates the sensory nerves, and increases sexual desire.

Horny goat weed is 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. And while the exact way that horny goat weed works remains unknown, the plant has long been employed by the Chinese to restore sexual fire and boost erectile function.

A great deal of research has been done in recent years concerning human sexual performance and libido drive. Some of that research has focused on natural, botanical ingredients, which have legendary history as natural aphrodisiacs, and Horny Goat Weed is among the top performers. 

The Chinese Academy of Sciences recommends the regular use of Horny Goat Weed to slow the aging process, as it improves the overall quality of life as well.
