How Does Horny Goat Weed Work?
Horny Goat Weed has been used as an aphrodisiac
for hundreds of years, and research has also proven its
effects on improving sexual desire and performance. So how
does Horny Goat Weed work? Research has shown that Horny
Goat Weed can inhibit an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase
(AChE). AChE rapidly stops neurotransmission at cholinergic
synapses like those found in the brain and at neuromuscular
junctions, which are needed for speedy responses in the
neuromuscular system. By inhibiting AChE, Horny Goat Weed
supports higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters
associated with sexual arousal.
Horny Goat Weed Research
There have been much research done on
Horny Goat Weed, and its aphrodisiac effects have been well
demonstrated in animals and humans.
In a study done by Steven Lamm, M.D, 38
men were administered 2 capsules (2 X 800mg) of herbal complex
of epimedium grandiflorum, maca pure (lepidium meyenii),
mucuna pruriens, and polypodium vulgare (in short, Horny
Goat Weed) for 45 days: 25 were healthy men and 13 were
men already taking Vi agra. Another 4 capsules of Horny
Goat Weed were taken 1 to 2 hours prior to sexual activities.
The study found 13 of 20 healthy men responded
positively to Horny Goat Weed, and 6 of the 13 men already
on Viagra also had a positive effect from using Horny Goat
Weed. In most cases, the men reported overall improvement
in sexual satisfaction and increase in sexual desires.
