Organic Horny Goat Weed: 500 mg * 100 Capsules – Epimedium

Organic Horny Goat Weed Supplement (Epimedium / Barrenwort) is a traditional herbal that is used for a few different purposes. Particularly the active flavonoid known as Icariin is popular for their vitality increasing effect in men and women.

Preliminary research indicate the substance may have broad physiological effects as an anti-inflammatory antioxidant, in reducing stress and improving mood, but also in repairing bone fractures. Animal studies on rodents have found a markedly decreased beta-amyloid-induced toxicity, i.e. the biological marker of the memory issues that usually emerge as we age.

Note, purchases for epimedium have been disabled to Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands (see PayPal policy). Some products may be available from our sister store vitamondo.eu.

Function

People take organic horny goat weed supplement for a variety of reasons.

1. Performance. Icariin, the primary bioactive compound in epimedium brevicornum, is known for its effects on drive. It is believed to improve male performance by inhibiting the activity of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which increases nitric oxide levels and enhances blood flow to the genital area. The mechanism is similar to the action of well-known compounds.
2. Bones. Some studies suggest that icariin may have positive effects on bone health by strengthening bone mineral density and contributing to overall skeletal health. By stimulating the activity of osteoblasts, icariin may enhance their ability to build and repair bone tissue. The function may be important for age-related bone loss.
3. Anti-Inflammatory. Icariin has been shown to inhibit the production and activity of pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines, chemokines). Studies have also demonstrated that icariin can reduce the levels of inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukins). These markers are associated with inflammation and play roles in the progression of various inflammatory conditions. Finally icariin has been found to modulate various inflammatory signaling pathways which helps to prevent excessive inflammation.
4. Cognition. Some research have found that icariin may have neuroprotective effects that contribute to overall brain health. Epimedium has been found improved learning ability and memory due to an increased the blood flow to the brain.
5. Joints. The anti-inflammatory properties may extend to supporting joint health by helping to reduce inflammation in the joints. This may be beneficial for individuals with joint-related conditions.
6. Heart. Epimedium may have cardiovascular benefits as it promotes blood vessel dilation and improves blood flow. This is helpful when blood flow is reduced due to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. In addition, some studies suggest it can help to reduce “bad” cholesterol, which is important for heart health.
7. Respiration. Organic epimedium supplement can be helpful in alleviating airway inflammation. It does this by decreasing the activities of certain proteins that increase production of leukocytes in inflammatory areas in the lungs. This helps to control the effects of asthma.
8. Longevity. In an animal study on the effects of the epimedium flavonoids, it was found that many age-related metabolites showed evidence of being reset at a more youthful level. One explanation is that epimedium exhibits antioxidant properties which play a role in cell health.
9. Hormonal Effect. Icariin may have a regulatory effect on male and female hormones. This modulation may contribute to improved reproductive health.
10. Anti-Tumor Potential. Preliminary research has explored the potential of icariin to inhibit malignant cell growth and induce apoptosis. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is crucial for inhibiting the uncontrolled growth of cells. It may also disrupt the normal progression of the cell cycle in malignant cells. Finally, the anti-angiogenic effect means it may inhibit the formation of new blood vessels, which limits blood supply to tumors and thus their growth.
