 Are there any side effects or interactions?

 In traditional Chinese medicine, horny goat weed is usually combined with yin tonic herbs when used long term for support of sexual health. If this is not done, it is believed the herb could cause problems such as aggressiveness, irritability, fever, or other hot symptoms (such as racing heart beat). In animal studies, prolonged use of excessive amounts of horny goat weed was associated with decreased thyroid activity.

 Horny Goat Weed:Dosage and Availability

 The ideal dosage of horny goat weed is not known, but may range from 1 to 3 grams per day. Capsules or tablets are sold in various doses, ranging from 250 to 500 mg. Some products are standardized to a flavonoid called icariin, which has been found to be protective of liver.

 The traditional use of horny goat weed is as a hot-water decoction (tea), which results in a different set of active constituents when compared to the alcohol extracts that are more commonly used in commercial products. It is difficult to know which form is best suited as an aphrodisiac.

 How much is usually taken:Traditionally 5 grams (1 tsp) of horny goat weed was taken three times per day, usually after being simmered (decocted) in 250 ml (1 pint) of water for 10 to 15 minutes. A similar amount can be taken in the form of granules, which are freeze-dried grains made from decocted herb, or powdered herb in capsules.

 In recent studies, a daily dose of Horny Goat Weed extract has shown significant results as a sexual performance enhancer for both men and women - boosting sexual energy and stamina.
 Horny Goat Weed lowers blood pressure by dilating capillaries and blood vessels while slowing the adrenal production that can hinder blood flow to the sex organs.
 Men achieve better erections due to this effect and it is thought that women benefit from the increased blood flow as well, and perhaps from other testosterone-like alkaloids and sterols within the plant.
 Research has also shown that Horny Goat Weed significantly increases testosterone in mice. Horny Goat Weed is a traditional Chinese herb of long-standing use by those in the health care profession, where it has been used in the past to relieve liver, joint, knee, and back problems.
 Let me briefly explain why so many males suffer from sexual dysfunction.From a biological anthropological standpoint, the male's job is to impregnate as many females as possible, which increases the chance that he will successfully pass his genes on to the next generation. It is therefore of benefit if ejaculation occurs rapidly so he can move on to the next mate. Now what this means is that once the job is done, there is no need for further sexual interaction.
 Unfortunately, this usually leaves the female unsatisfied and displeasured.This is because biologically, women are programmed completely differently than men. their job is to ensure that the male's semen is passed on-otherwise, child rearing would be impossible.
 his is why women have such an insatiable appetite for orgasms . . . continuation of the human race depends on her lasting at least as long as the male!
 OK - enough scientific jargon. Now let's talk about what we can do to help you improve your sexual performance and erectile potential. The bottom line is that to satisfy your woman, you need to match her stamina with a strong, solid, long enduring erection.

 Horny Goat Weed:Get ready to heat up your love life!
