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