Horny Goat Weed is an aphrodisiac used to medically treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Its active ingredients alter the body's enzyme and hormone levels to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChe). Horny Goat Weed increases the levels of cholinerginic neurotransmitters and nitric oxide. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to the penis. Cholinerginic neurotransmitters are another key part of sexual arousal in people and animals.

In a study comparing Horny Goat Weed to the active ingredient in an ED drug, a similar function was found in the active ingredient. The ED drug was slightly stronger at the doses administered, but its side effects can be quite dangerous for men and women experiencing significantly high blood pressure. Slightly elevated blood pressure may not have the same risk factors. The extract of Horny Goat Weed increased the levels of a secondary neurotransmitter involved in sexual arousal and libido. It increased nitric oxide, which causes the tissue to relax and directly increases blood flow to the penis and other areas of the body. This action is due to Icariin, the flavenoid and active ingredient purified from the extract of Horny Goat Weed.

A University of Milan study in its Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Mario Dell'Agli compared ED drugs to Icariin, the active flavenoid found in Horny Goat Weed. ED affects an estimated 18 million men in the United States. ED drugs have side effects such as headache, facial flushing, stomach upset, and visual disturbances. They can also negatively impact blood pressure levels.
High glucose levels negatively impact erection and libido in people. Icariin impacts glucose within the cellular structure. This component of sexual function needs to be addressed through aggressive diagnosis and treatment of diabetes and dietary changes.
ED problems need to be carefully managed. They are often part of larger health problems that need medical attention such as diabetes and cardiac problems. When they are psychological in nature, Horny Goat Weed and exercise can usually do the trick!
