DOES HORNEY GOAT WEED WORK?
A guide to selecting the best Horney Goat Weed extract
Men’s health is finally starting to receive the attention and funding it requires, therefore natural dietary supplements directed towards the male gender are now gaining the research that has been long awaited and deserved.
Horney Goat Weed extract is the subject matter I will be analysing for you in this article, and to start off I shall address the primary question that we all ask prior to buying a product with expected beneficial results:
“Does horney goat weed work?”
The condensed answer is ‘Yes’ it does and it can work amazingly well. Recent reports from European and US men’s health organisations and men’s health publications show that there has been extensive research taking place by professors at the Italian University’s of Milan and Bologna in regards to Epimedium extract (Horney Goat Weed extract) and its influence on sexual activity. The positive results of this research have lead to horny goat weed extract being named as ‘the closest nature has come yet, to creating the perfect aphrodisiac’.
However, many people who buy horney goat weed supplements will never come close to experiencing the wondrous sexual enhancement effect (plus other benefits) of horney goat weed.
Before I go into the reasons why, there is a persistent myth about horney goat weed I want to dispel.
Horney goat weed does not work in 30 minutes like that of an oral chemical drug prescribed to you by a doctor. Many online retailers contradict this by guaranteeing the moon and the stars. Far from it. The plain fact is... no nutritional supplement works right away. To justify the logic of this, if herbal aphrodisiacs worked in 30mins, why would Viagra even exist??
Here's a question I receive from one of my readers along with my response.
Question from reader:
I've tried Libidus (now called Maxidus) and it works about the same in that I can take 1 on an empty stomach with a couple big glasses of water and feel the effects within about 30 minutes.
If Horney Goat Weed is so powerful, how come it doesn't work fast like Libidus?
My Response:
Thank you for writing in. Below is a link to an article from a government news release related to Libidus and the shocking reason why it 'works' in 30 minutes.

Start of extract of news release
--------------------------------------------------
Health Canada is warning consumers not to use the natural health product Libidus because it contains an undeclared pharmaceutical ingredient, a modified form of vardenafil, which is similar to the active pharmaceutical ingredient found in the prescription drug Levitra. The use of Libidus could pose serious health risks, especially for patients with existing medical conditions such as heart problems, those taking heart medications, or those at risk for stroke.

Bluntly, regardless of brand, no legitimate herbal supplement works in 30 minutes. If it does, chances are that imitation Viagra or similar ED chemical drug has been added defeating the object of achieving a natural and healthy remedy.
With Horney Goat Weed its mechanism of action is that it steadily increases the natural circulating levels of testosterone in your body. When that happens, you will experience a number of beneficial effects in regards to sexual enhancement including high libido and increases in all areas of your sexual stamina and endurance, bringing you back to the sexual prime you felt as a teenager or young man when your level of testosterone was at it’s peak.
While it takes a longer time (generally about 4+ weeks) to gain optimum effect, these results are natural and on going, unlike that of a chemical prescription drug like Viagra which will give you results for only a short period of time, completely disappearing just hours later. The sustainable results that are gained from a high-grade horney goat weed extract mean that you can readily perform without having to rely on some kind of on the spot 'fix-me' pill.
The crucial guidelines when buying Horney Goat Weed supplements:
1. First of all make sure you are purchasing Horney Goat Weed Extract and not just Horney Goat Weed Powder. Extract capsules horney goat weed are the most beneficial because the fine quality of an extract enables the body to successfully gain results from the horney goat weed supplement of choice.
2. Only buy Horney Goat Weed extract that specifies the extract strength as a percentage of icariin content (icariin being the active ingredient within Horney Goat Weed), too low of a % and you will not gain the results you need.
3. Buy a product that contains pure Horney Goat Weed extract only (many capsules are actually a combined mixture of various herbs and/or other extracts, some of which may be completely useless for aphrodisiac related remedy).
4. Check that the horny goat weed extract you are purchasing has an Asian origin as the nutritious soils found in this continent have prove to harness the qualities need to for harvesting the best quality plantations.
To clarify better the four points above, products that simply say 'Horney Goat Weed Extract' without specifying the icariin percentage anywhere on the product/product website may well be as weak as 5% icariin in some cases and even though technically it is still an extract, therapeutically it feels like nothing because the concentration just isn't high enough to have any beneficial effect.
And finally if possible, try to buy Indonesian horny goat weed extract. Why?
Horney goat weed has been used in many parts of South East Asia for centuries, China and Indonesia being the main cultivators of this particular plantation. Chinese horney goat weed capsules are most common at the lower end of the icariin purity scale (around 10% to 30% icariin) and hence are cheaper to obtain and sell. Indonesian extract on the other hand is less obtainable due to its high price and beneficial effects. The climate and soil nutrition within Indonesia allows many such plantations to thrive; therefore they are able to cultivate the best quality horney goat weed. Indonesian extracts yield very beneficial icariin strengths, currently the most impressive and effective standardized extract being 60% icariin.
Generally most retailers don’t tend to specify whether or not their extract is Chinese or Indonesian so the best indicator of extract quality is normally the icariin strength of the product.
To conclude this article I would like to say that there are many great benefits to be gained from horney goat weed and a buyer that is educated on this extract will benefit from all it has to offer. I hope you enjoyed this article on the highly successful natural aphrodisiac known as Horney Goat Weed, thank you for reading and keep checking back for updates and further information on traditional remedies in relation to male health.
