Horny Goat Weed

Information

Horny goat weed – what is it?

Horny goat weed is an herb known from the traditional Chinese medicine, where it used to improve sexual functions and raise male hormone levels.

Horny goat weed is known for its influence on male potency, and the effects result from two mechanisms. Active substances of the herb, which include icariin, can increase expression of nitric oxide synthase, which in turn can raise the level of this hormone in the body system. The most common property of nitric oxide is relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, which results in smoother blood circulation and its higher retention in the tissues of genital organs. The second mechanism is selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases type 5 (PDE-5), which resembles the action of sildenafil, a Viagra ingredient. This increases concentration of cGMP molecules in cells of penis tissues. It is speculated that horny goat weed shows positive influence on the testosterone level in men.

Icariin

Information

Icariin – what is it?

Icariin is the main active component of horny goat weed (Epimedium), which was popular in Far East cultures because of its abilities to increase potency and influence on sexual experience.

Mechanism of action of this substance practically resembles action of very effective potency medicine, sildenafil (Viagra). It consists in selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases type 5, so that it increases concentration of cGMP in penis cells. Icariin affinity for PDE-5 is about 100 times greater than for other isoforms of this enzyme. Another advantage is an increase in expression of NOS enzyme, which raises concentration of nitric oxide. This compound in turn dilatates vascular smooth muscles and increases blood flow i.a. to genital organs. According to studies in animal models, it is indicated that icariin can be potentially used to increase testosterone level in men with deficiencies.

Icariin can be found in products containing horny goat weed which can be found in the offer of muscle-zone.pl
