Ok, no more kidding around, the name sounds real funny, I have to admit. But there is a piece of history behind it. Horny Goat Weed is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is native to China. Hundreds of years ago, a goat herder noticed incessant sexual behaviour in his goats. He observed the goats and noticed whenever they ate certain weeds, the goat’s promiscuous behaviour became even more noticeable - hence, Horny Goat Weed. Whether there's any truth to this story, I do not know.

A traditional Chinese herb that has been prescribed for centuries for body ailments, and is most noted for its aphrodisiac qualities. Horny Goat Weed is known as the premier libido booster for both men and women, being used to restore erectile function, reduce fatigue and greatly reduce menopausal complications.  

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 acetyl cholinesterase (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.

There has 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 Horny Goat Weed for 45 days: 25 were healthy men and 13 were men already taking Viagra. 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.

In the study mentioned above, no side effects were noticed in any of the participants. However, many positive side effects (or benefits) were noted:

-          The men noted overall increase in satisfaction with their sex life

-          The men reported a increase in desire to engage in sexual activity

-          The men also reported a increase in their partner's satisfaction - presumably from their improved performance.
