It can be a chronic or short-term issue affecting your sex life and throw a monkey wrench in your overall sexual pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re reading this, you might have already heard about tried-and-tested treatment options like sildenafil, better known as Viagra.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ou might also have heard of dietary supplements claiming to treat ED. One of the most well-known supplements is epimedium, more commonly known as horny goat weed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makes perfect sense, right? But just because it has \u201chorny\u201d in its name doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it will give your penis that extra boost it might need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Horny goat weed: a quick rundown<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed is the moniker given to herbs belonging to the Epimedium genus. They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a sexual tonic, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as with many herbal supplements, there\u2019s very little science behind the claim that horny goat weed has any therapeutic purpose for men. Most evidence of this herb\u2019s purported claims has been conducted in laboratories rather than in humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies conducted on animal subjects indicate that icariin \u2013 found in horny goat weed \u2013 may promote blood flow by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme responsible for the subsidence of an erection. The latter is the same mechanism of action used in PDE5 inhibitor ED drugs like sildenafil (Viagra).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not much research exists comparing horny goat weed to prescription PDE5 ED drugs. One of the studies indicated that horny goat weed is only 1\/80th as effective as oral ED medicines. In short, more research is needed on horny goat weed before we can conclusively say that it\u2019s worth using to treat ED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-info\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Getting ED medication has never been easier<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connect with a US-licensed healthcare provider for a FREE evaluation!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-buttons cta2-mobile\">\n\t\t\t   <a class=\"btn1\" href='https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/get-started-lp1'>Get started for just $1.75 per pill<\/a>\n            \t<h6>limited time*<\/h6>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-image\">\n\t\t        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-image-1c.png\" \/>\n\t        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-footer-icons\">\n\t\t        <div class=\"icons d-flex justify-content-around justify-content-md-end\">\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/shipping%20copy%202.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Free Express<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/discreet.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Discreet<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/banned.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>No Waiting<br>\n                                Rooms<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n\t        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>A brief history of horny goat weed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E. grandiflorum<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is an herb endemic to China and the Korean Peninsula. Its fascinating name is thought to have come from a Chinese goatherd who purportedly noticed his goats having more sexual activity after having eaten the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over millennia as a tonic enhancing renal health, fertility, and sexual function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also a common ingredient in supplements purporting to be aphrodisiacs or sexual performance boosters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of these products mix horny goat weed with other herbs such as ginseng or maca root.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It must be mentioned that these kinds of supplements aren\u2019t scrutinized nor regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as prescription drugs like sildenafil are. That said, they aren\u2019t as stringently tested nor backed up by solid scientific proof of their effectiveness. Moreover, it means your mileage will vary due to the varying amounts of active ingredients from product to product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Does horny goat weed have medicinal uses?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epimedium has been used to treat cardiovascular health concerns in traditional Chinese medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed proponents harp about icariin, its active ingredient, as the primary source of its purported benefits. Icariin is thought to possess qualities resembling a PDE5 inhibitor, boosting blood flow throughout the body, including the penis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the only existing research on the plant has been performed on animals or under a microscope, with very little in the way of studies involving humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that icariin may indeed have some anti-inflammatory benefits, apart from promoting bone health and protecting the nervous system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before you buy that supplement, it must be noted that icariin has low bioavailability and is poorly absorbed by the body, meaning only trace amounts actually hit your bloodstream for any potential effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are some fascinating findings in a few studies, with one involving circulatory disease in elderly patients being given epimedium showing improved blood circulation compared to those who weren\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers attributed the results to epimedium\u2019s ability to reduce blood lipid concentrations and its effect on clotting and platelets, besides being antioxidant-rich.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Does horny goat weed work for ED?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short answer is that there\u2019s very little credible, stringent research supporting the claim that horny goat weed treats ED, despite being one of the most common ingredients in sexual health supplements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The few studies on animal subjects support the claim that it can inhibit the PDE5 enzyme. However, more stringent studies are needed to conclusively determine this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines in 2013 discovered that an epimedium-containing supplement had some positive effects on sexual performance and erection quality, but the supplement tested also contained maca root and other androgenic substances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, whether the benefits were caused by the horny goat weed content or another ingredient is unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another study showed that icariin seems to treat erectile dysfunction in rats. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that it will have the same result in humans. Neither do anecdotal reports in product reviews, vlogs, or blog sites mean horny goat weed necessarily works to treat ED or the conditions that cause it, such as poor blood circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, higher quality studies and research are needed to make a conclusive determination that horny goat weed can help treat symptoms of ED or other male sexual health concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the side effects of horny goat weed? Is it safe?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed\u2019s side effects include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast speech<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No long-term studies have been conducted on horny goat weed or icariin toxicity and safety. However, the existing research indicates that its extracts can be safely used for several months at a time with no known major issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a note of caution: since horny goat weed may slow blood clotting, individuals who are prone to bleeding disorders or those who are about to undergo surgery may find it better to avoid it. It might worsen existing bleeding disorders or lead to bleeding while going under the knife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed may also affect estrogen levels, which might play a role in breast and uterine cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isolated reports linking excessively fast heart rates in horny goat weed users have been recorded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And due to such concerns, it\u2019s prudent to talk to your doctor before going on a horny goat weed supplement or other similar natural sexual health supplements, especially if you are taking prescription drugs or have an underlying medical condition like cardiovascular disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Does horny goat weed interact with other drugs?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show that horny goat weed interacts with medicines and supplements the liver metabolizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed may interfere with how fast the liver metabolizes certain medicines like those targeted by the liver\u2019s CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 enzymes, which might lead to said medicines causing unexpected effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horny goat weed may also interact with antiplatelet and anticoagulant medicines due to its effects on blood clotting, leading to a heightened risk of bleeding. The same is true for supplements that may affect blood clotting capacities, such as Panax ginseng, garlic, ginkgo, and ginger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also thought to slow down caffeine absorption and metabolism, leading you to experience the effects of caffeine more intensely. Horny goat weed may also interact with antihypertensive drugs, causing a larger reduction in blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult your healthcare provider and let them know about any medicines or supplements you are taking before going on a supplement containing horny goat weed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-info\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Getting ED medication has never been easier<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connect with a US-licensed healthcare provider for a FREE evaluation!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-buttons cta2-mobile\">\n\t\t\t   <a class=\"btn1\" href='https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/get-started-lp1'>Get started for just $1.75 per pill<\/a>\n            \t<h6>limited time*<\/h6>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-image\">\n\t\t        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-image-1c.png\" \/>\n\t        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-footer-icons\">\n\t\t        <div class=\"icons d-flex justify-content-around justify-content-md-end\">\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/shipping%20copy%202.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Free Express<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/discreet.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Discreet<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/banned.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>No Waiting<br>\n                                Rooms<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n\t        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is horny goat weed actually effective?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There isn\u2019t much evidence supporting its claims as a remedy for osteoporosis or ED.
