What is Icariin?
If you have previously read about the herbal aphrodisiac known as Horny Goat Weed extract, then you will more than likely have seen the word ‘icariin’ before. Icariin is the most prevalent active flavonol present within the Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) plant family and is also the flavonol responsible for all of the best known health benefits associated with Horny Goat Weed. The main active ingredients of Horny Goat Weed contain Icariin, Baohuoside I, the Epimedium compounds A, B and C etc.
Health Benefits of Icariin
1. Nitric Oxide Booster, Erectile Dysfunction, Male Impotence
Icariin provides a powerful boost in the levels of Nitric Oxide when taken over a period of weeks/months and as a result restores the blood delivery to the penis when a man becomes sexually aroused. Male impotence is the greatest fear of many sexual active men around the world, however with natural Nitric Oxide boosters such as icariin being readily available in most countries, there’s simply no excuse for letting ED get the best of you!
2. Testosterone Booster, Sex Drive, Sperm Production
The next major sexual benefit of taking a supplement containing icariin is the ability of it to increase the natural circulation of free-form testosterone hormones around the body, thus improving the overall efficient utilization of all the testosterone hormones naturally available within body.
Testosterone is the dominant male sex hormone and thus controls many facets of a man’s sexual characteristics. Testosterone is primarily responsible for the level of ‘sex drive’ a man has. Sex drive is also referred to as male libido and when a man loses his libido it essentially means that he no longer wish to be sexually active regardless of whether or not he can gain a healthy erection. Testosterone is also crucial for the health of a man’s prostate and plays a dominant role in the healthy production of sperm. Icariin has you covered with Testosterone, greatly boosting the efficient use of all the free-form testosterone hormones in your body, giving you back all that masculinity and sexual prowess you had.
3. Bone Health
In more recent studies icariin flavonols have shown to provide huge benefit to those suffering from various bone health related ailments including Osteoporosis and Arthritis. Icariin is able to does this through it’s unique ability to promote bone re-modelling and healthy cartilage formation.
