Horny Goat Weed (or Epimedium) has been used for millennia by Chinese herbalists treating age-related conditions in men and women – especially those relating to libido and sexual health.
Research seems to show it contains several compounds, producing the benefits commonly experienced.
Icariin helps increase testosterone levels in men by acting in a similar way in men as the prescription drug Sildenafil, helping tackle impotence.
It also contain many prenylflavonoids, which mimic oestrogen, boosting levels in women leading to their improved health.
Andhydroicaritin and Desmethylicaritin are two compounds shown to have benefits for female reproductive health and libido. Though benefitting women during the menopause, these effects seem most pronounced after menopause.
Quercetin is another important compound; known for its promotion of heart health, eye health and antioxidant effect. It can also combat many degenerative problems experienced by older people – especially those associated with bone and muscle mass loss.
