Other Information
Description:
Horny Goat Weed has 2,**0 years to used as a male function
enhancer in China.Many cultures report that horny goat weed
supports libido, erectile function, and helps to relieve
menopausal discomfort. One ingredient, maca, is reported to
support erectile problems, for men and women with low libido, and
for women undergoing menopause. Horny Goat Weed (epimedium) is
comprised of several species of epimedium, a leafy plant which
grows in the wild, most abundantly at higher altitudes.
Horny Goat Weed is used as an herbal aphrodisiac because it
increases blood flow to the genital area. Referred to as Yin-Yang
Huo in China, where it originates, Horny Goat Weed also lowers
blood pressure by dilating capillaries and blood vessels while
slowing the adrenal production that can prevent blood from
reaching the genitalia. Epimedium is grown as an ornamental herb
in Asia and the Mediterranean region, and various species are
used for medicinal purposes, including Epimedium sagittatum,
Epimedium brevicornum, Epimedium wushanense, Epimedium koreanum,
and Epimedium pubescens.
The leaves of Horny Goat Weed contain a variety of flavonoids,
polysaccharides, lignans, sesquiterpenes, phenolic and penethylol
glycosides, ionones, sterols, and an alkaloid called
magnaflorine.
Therapeutic effects of Horny Goat Weed include invigorating
kidney function, reversing male and female infertility,
strengthen tendons and bones, decreasing muscular spasm,
relieving coughs and lowering blood pressure. The herb has also
been used for liver and kidney toning and has improved the life
of chronic renal failure patients in a Chinese study.
Horny goat weed Theory:
The use of epimedium as a medicinal herb dates back to at least
**0 A.D., where it has been used as a tonic for the reproductive
system (boosting libido and treating impotence) and as a
rejuvenating tonic (to relieve fatigue). Epimedium is thought to
work via modulation of cortisol levels (the primary stress
hormone). Under conditions of high stress, the increased cortisol
levels are known to cause fatigue - so bringing cortisol levels
back into normal ranges is also thought to help restore normal
metabolism, energy levels and libido.
Scientific Support:
Animal studies have shown that epimedium may function a bit like
an adaptogen (such as cordyceps, rhodiola, ashwagandha, and
ginseng) by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine,
serotonin, and dopamine when they are low (an energy-promoting
effect), but reducing cortisol levels when they are elevated (an
anti-stress effect). There is also evidence that epimedium can
restore low levels of both testosterone and thyroid hormone
(bringing low levels back to their normal levels) - which may
account for some of the benefits of epimedium in improving
libido. Animal studies using epimedium have shown a reduction in
bone breakdown, an increase in muscle mass, and a loss of body
fat-each of which may be linked to the observed return of
abnormal cortisol levels back to normal values (and rhythm). In a
series of studies conducted in humans and animals by Chinese
researchers, immune-system function was directly suppressed and
bone loss was accelerated, by using high-dose synthetic cortisol
(glucocorticoid drugs). Subsequent administration of epimedium
extract reduced blood levels of cortisol and improved immune
immune-system function (in the humans) and slowed bone loss and
strengthened bones (in the animals).
Safety:
It is interesting to note that although at least *5 fifteen
active compounds have been identified in epimedium extracts,
(luteolin, icariin, quercetin, and various epimedins), many
supplement companies currently use alcohol extracts standardized
only for high levels of icariin. The traditional use of
epimedium, however, is as a hot-water decoction (tea), which
would result in a very different profile of active constituents
when compared to the high-icariin alcohol extracts that are more
commonly used in commercial products. Although at least one test
test-tube study has shown icariin to protect liver cells from
damage with by various toxic compounds, other feeding studies (in
rodents) have suggested that high-dose icariin may be associated
with kidney and liver toxicity. There have been no reports of
adverse side effects associated with the traditional preparation
of epimedium (water-extracted) at the suggested dosage (**0 to
1,**0mg per day).
Dosage:
Because all of the existing scientific evidence for the
anti-stress and cortisol-controlling effect of epimedium has been
demonstrated for water-extracted epimedium (that is, as a tea),
and because this form of extraction may result in a safer form of
epimedium (compared to the high-icariin alcohol extract), it may
be prudent to select supplements that specifically use a more
traditional formulation. There have been no reports of adverse
side effects associated with the traditional preparation of
epimedium (water-extracted) at the suggested dosage
(****1,**0mg/day in **3 divided doses).
