If you’ve been thinking about using horny goat weed for penis enlargement, you’re on the right track.
Why?
Because goat weed does two things very well that can help you speed up your gains.
First:
This herb drastically increases sexual desire when it hits you right and as I’ve discussed many times on this blog, gains come much faster when your sex drive is up.
I’m not sure exactly why this happens but it could be due to the anabolic action of the elevated sex hormones or the increased motivation those sex hormones bring on.
Either way, high sex drive in my case always leads to a bigger flaccid hang, less turtling and a heavier package.
Especially when compared to days when my sex drive is nonexistent, when lax routines, severe turtling and an unimpressive flaccid are the norm.
Second:
Horny goat weed increases blood flow and enhances erections (more on this later).
And as I’ve also mentioned on this blog, powerful erections and impressive morning wood are outstanding indicators that you’re primed and ready for growth.
On the other hand, if your erections are lacking you’re going to be fighting an uphill battle, both mentally and physically.
Now, despite all this, goat weed still gets no respect…
Probably because of all the junk goat they’ve been selling for decades next to the register at mini marts, gas stations and liquor stores.
(Hijacked-Stud-Formula!)
The thing is, the quality of goat weed these days has skyrocketed and if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a high quality whole plant extract….
That contains all the flavonoids and not just a big sledgehammer of isolated icarin, you’re in for huge a treat.
Because the goodies in a whole plant extract don’t just inhibit PDE5 like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, they also boost nitric oxide production….
The gas your body must produce in order to create a healthy strong erection.
The active ingredients in goat weed also prevent the breakdown of nitric oxide so it stays in your system longer, which increases staying power and stamina.
Scientists demonstrated this recently…
When they did a study on rats which was published in the Journal of Enthopharmacology.
What they found was that when male rats were given a whole plant extract of horny goat weed they…
-Increased mounting frequency
-Increased ejaculation frequency
-Decreased refractory periods
All good signals, especially for a dude who’s been having a hard time getting hard or finding the motivation to use the hard he’s able to get.
Another study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine verified the nitric oxide / erection enhancing claims of goat weed (source).
Anyway…..
In the herbal mojo department pine pollen and tongkat ali are tied for first place in my book, but high quality goat weed makes a good argument for a 3 way tie situation.
Now here’s David with more info on this herb….
Horny Goat Weed for Penis Enlargement-Part 2:
The natural world has been a source of endless gifts for humanity.
Since ancient times, our ancestors knew of power herbs and extracts that conveyed a multitude of health benefits.
When used properly and in the right proportions, these plants could treat diseases, ward off sickness, and cure a variety of common ailments.
While modern science has discounted numerous old-timey cures, it has also confirmed its fair share.
One need look no further than the effects of ginger on the stomach, cannabinoids on anxiety and St. John’s Wort on depression to see how many natural remedies are still in use today.
In this article, however, we’re going to be talking about Epimedium, more commonly known as bishop’s hat, fairy wings, or horny goat weed.
Native to China and the Mediterranean, this flowering plant has been used for generations to promote sexual health.
Specifically, it has often been implemented to improve the male sex drive and combat erectile dysfunction.
In this article, we’ll discuss the validity of these claims and attempt to discover what role – if any – horny goat weed might play in penis enhancement.
The Properties of Horny Goat Weed
Legend has it that it was an early Chinese goat herder who first noticed that his flock became sexually excited when grazing in a particular area.
Eventually, after much study, he identified the specific flowering plant that seemed to contribute to the behavior.
Bringing some home, he tried it for himself. Upon reporting his results to his friends, a medicinal herb was born: yin yang huo.
Today, we call it “horny goat weed.”
Yet how much of this is just legend, and how much of it is science?
Now, like other herbs tied to different health benefits, horny goat weed contains many chemical elements, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals.
The one considered the “active” ingredient in the plant is a flavonoid called icariin.
Though you’ve likely never heard of it, icariin is what is known as a PDE5 inhibitor.
This means that it enhances nitric oxide production, preventing erectile tissues from losing its blood flow.
Other PDE5 inhibitors you might have heard of go by the names Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra.
That’s right, though we’re talking about much lower concentrations than the medicines mentioned above, horny goat weed does indeed cause the same chemical effects as medicines design to treat ED.
In fact, in laboratory test on rabbits, mice, and the like, icariin has also been shown to increase penile blood pressure while providing a vast array of cardiovascular benefits.
Horny Goat Weed and Sex Drive
Through the centuries, one of the primary uses of horny goat weed has been to treat impotence and increase the male sex drive.
When it comes to using the plant for this purpose, science tends to agree with the ancient Chinese.
Indeed, studies have shown that mammals display significant sexual benefits when taking the herb, including increased libido.
The herb also prevents endothelial dysfunction (damage to the blood vessels) lowers inflammation and keeps the smooth muscle cells leading to the penis clear, clean and healthy (source).
While official human trials are yet to be performed, men who take the herb regularly report an increase in sexual desire as well as better erections and more frequent sex.
While some may say there’s a “placebo effect” going on here, that doesn’t explain how the same effects has been reported for hundreds of years by men from all over the world.
It also doesn’t account for the fact we now know conclusively that icariin acts much like an all-natural, low-dose Viagra.
That point is: Horny goat weed does improve sex drive and it also boosts erections when a high quality product is taken at the right dosage.
Goat Weed Increases Blood Flow to The Penis
Above, we mentioned that horny goat weed had a number of cardiovascular effects.
One such effect is blocking an enzyme specifically designed to restrict blood flow to the penis.
This is more or less how pills meant to fight ED work.
Of course, those who have read our other articles and you will realize where this is going.
You see, for as much importance as we place on it, the penis is not an incredibly complicated organ.
It is essentially a tube of skin filled with tiny, expandable chambers. When those chambers fill with blood, the penis becomes rigid, resulting in an erection.
However, these chambers are not explicitly limited to holding a specific volume of fluid.
This means that with proper support and a reliable source of nutrient-rich blood, it’s possible to increase how much these chambers can hold, therefore increasing the size of your erections.
So, you see, there is actually sound science behind penis enhancement – you just might not have heard of it yet.
Ultimately, it’s about improving blood flow, increasing how much blood your penis can hold, and encouraging general penile and testicular health.
Final Verdict: Horny Goat Weed for Penis Enlargement
For all the debate about horny goat weed, one thing is undeniably true: any substance, vitamin, or chemical that can increase blood flow to the penis can enhance erections, and therefore be used as a penis enhancement aid.
In fact, when combined with enlargement vitamins, a dedicated workout program and other proven enhancement techniques…
Horny goat weed has the potential to help you achieve and solidify gains faster, easier, and with better overall results.
As an added benefit, horny goat weed can help pump up your libifo, giving you more confidence, more drive, and the chance to have more frequent, better quality sex.
Ultimately, horny goat weed should be in every man’s medicine cabinet, especially those currently engaging in an enlargement protocol.
