Horny Goat Weed (10% Icariins)

History:

Horny Goat Weed, sometimes called Epimedium, is one of about twenty-five species of herbaceous flowering plants that is native to China and other parts of Asia (other species are native to Europe). The hardy, deciduous perennial grows as a leafy groundcover, most abundantly at higher altitudes, and bears four-petaled, purple, pink, yellow or white "spider-like" flowers that resemble a "Bishop's Hat" (giving the plant one of its common names), and blooming in spring or early summer. Horny Goat Weed has a long history in China, where its therapeutic properties were first recorded two thousand years ago in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs. The Chinese regard this herb as one of the finest libido supports for both men and women, and its use came about in a somewhat circuitous way (or so legend has it). Centuries ago, Chinese goat herders noticed incessant mating behavior in his goats and observed that this activity seemed to be directly related to their diet. When the goats fed on this herb, the activity increased; hence, the name Horny Goat Weed was christened, and it probably did not take too long thereafter for its use to be shifted to humans. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the plant has also been used to support kidney, joint, liver and back health, but its universal fame rests upon its libido qualities. Some of the constituents included in Horny Goat Weed are a variety of flavonoids (icariin), polysaccharides, lignins, sesquiterpenes, phenolic and penethylol glycosides, ionones, sterols and an alkaloid called magnaflorine.
