What is Horny Goat Weed?
Horny goat weed (Epimedium) is a Chinese herbal traditionally used to support libido, energy, and, in men, erectile function. Its active compound, icariin, has mild activity on the same enzyme pathway (PDE5) targeted by some prescription options, along with effects on circulation and bone in laboratory studies. Human trials are still limited, so most of the evidence is preclinical and traditional rather than confirmed in large studies. Because of its circulatory activity, it should be used cautiously by anyone on heart, blood pressure, or blood-thinning medication, and it may influence hormone-sensitive conditions. Standardized extracts providing icariin, often 500 to 1000 mg daily, are typical.
