When it comes to buying the very best Horny Goat Weed capsules available you must firstly understand exactly what 'icariin' is and what makes this natural extract one of the most powerful and highly sought-after supplements for improving male sexual health and athletic performance.
Horny Goat Weed extract (formally known as Epimedium extract) is a traditional remedy that has been used with huge success for centuries throughout parts of Asia and the Mediterranean as a natural aphrodisiac for both men and women. Since then Horny Goat Weed has gained recognition on a global scale becoming the top selling natural sex enhancer supplement. This global recognition and popularity has led to extensive research and development of the extract and this has resulted in vastly improved qualities and purities of Horny Goat Weed extract.
Contained within the Horny Goat Weed Plant are various different flavonoids i.e. water-soluble plant pigments, when assessing the quality and especially the purity of Horny Goat Weed extracts there is one particular active flavonoid by which the level of beneficial effectiveness can be gauged, this active flavonoid is known as icariin. (*See Wikipedia for further info.)
The proportion of icariin contained within a Horny Goat Weed supplement (after the extraction process has taken place) directly determines how actively beneficial the extract will be in relation to sexual health and athletic fitness. Icariin content/purity is measured as a percentage figure and can be found in 'standardized' Horny Goat Weed extracts from 10% right up to 60% icariin strength. The higher the percentage of icariin contained within an extract the more advantageous and effective the extract will be at producing the desired results.
Understanding icariin strength is of key importance when sourcing out the best Horny Goat Weed extract available as many retailers out there rely on the fact that most people are unaware of the varying strengths of Horny Goat Weed extract. It is abundantly common to find extracts on today's market which conveniently fail to display the icariin strength on the packaging, this tends to be the initial giveaway characteristic of a cheap low strength Horny Goat Weed product. Alternatively some retailers/manufacturers will stipulate a unit of strength, however they will use a non-relative unit of icariin measurement e.g. 20:1 or 30x neither of which clearly state a definite percentage of icariin purity.

For decades men of all ages have been using Horny Goat Weed to naturally improve their sex lives. Numerous trials and research studies have been carried out by various medical institutions worldwide in recent times, each of which has demonstrated the unmatched ability of icariin to remedy the symptoms of various forms or erectile dysfunction, in particular the symptoms associated with male impotence. Potency has played a crucial role in these findings, showing that Horny Goat Weed extracts of a high icariin percentage are very successful in the stimulation and restoration of the male reproductive system.
When a sexually healthy man becomes stimulated his brain triggers the release of Nitric Oxide to the erectile tissue of the corpus cavernosum (penis), this Nitric Oxide then signals the activation of the various enzymes necessary for smooth muscle relaxation in the blood vessels supplying the corpus cavernosum, generating increased blood-flow and in-turn resulting in an erection. When a man is lacking in sexual health this process of triggering Nitric Oxide and blood delivery to the penis can become impaired, making an erection very difficult to achieve.
Prescription impotence drugs commonly referred to as "the blue pill" are essentially what's known as 'man-made PDE-5 inhibitors' with the sole purpose of blocking the degenerative action of sexual response in the male human body, allowing the trigger of Nitric Oxide and in-turn increasing the levels of blood-flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. They are publicly renowned for being a highly toxic short-term fix, yielding an unnatural feeling erection followed by a back-to-stage one type scenario just a few hours later.
One of the most distinguished studies carried out with Horny Goat Weed extract was by a group of scientists at the 'University of Milan & Bologna Medical Research Department' in Italy. Through various lab trials they revealed the conclusive proof that icariin from Horny Goat Weed is a formidable PDE-5 inhibitor and Nitric Oxide stimulator making it the only actual lab-proven '100% natural PDE-5 inhibitor' in existence today. Being a natural PDE-5 inhibitor, Horny Goat Weed doesn't carry with it the chemical toxicity of prescription impotence treatments therefore it's recognised as a lasting alternative remedy rather than a short-term fix.
Read about what the research scientists had to say regarding Horny Goat Weed and icariin in the following article taken from the Metro, a nationally recognised UK Newspaper publication:
Being a natural type of PDE-5 inhibitor and boosting of Nitric Oxide levels is only half of the reason why icariin from Horny Goat Weed has such a bold reputation regarding male sexual health. The other half of icariin's ability lays in the mental process of an erection, specifically referring to the amount of sex drive a man has. High purities of icariin have been scientifically proven to increase the level of circulating testosterone, that is the increase in efficiency of the testosterone which is carried naturally within the blood-flow. (*See PubMed.gov for further info.)
Sturdy levels of testosterone are crucial within the male reproductive system, being largely responsible for stimulating sexual activity and overall sexual desire. Prescription (man-made) impotence drugs fail to harness the action of also restoring the mental element (sex drive) of an erection through replenished levels of testosterone, which is why prescription PDE-5 inhibitors are ineffective without sexual stimulation, a fact which is always clearly stated by the manufacturers themselves i.e. 'They won't work if you're not turned on'.
Icariin extracts of the high percentage range have for a long time been recognised as being excellent at restoring and increasing the levels of sexual drive. Icariin 60™ being of such high purity has an unmatched reputation for not only improving erectile function, but equally so for abundantly restoring the mental functions of the reproductive system through the revival of male sexual desire.
Due to the coupled functionality of icariin addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of male sexual health simultaneously, high strength 60% icariin Horny Goat Weed extract from World A.B.S™ has gained huge popularity amongst Medical Practitioners and Male Dietician Specialists throughout Europe and North America.
We are frequently informed by such Practitioners and Dieticians as to the success of their patients and clients who have tried Icariin 60™ and found it to be a phenomenal alternative to prescription erectile dysfunction medications, stating that they are simply pleased they're now able to present their patients/clients with a sturdy, natural and long-term remedy for issues related to sexual health.

Any experienced bodybuilder who has observed and/or trialled high-end performance boosting supplements over the years will certainly have knowledge of Epimedium extract/Horny Goat Weed extract and especially the flavonoid icariin, which has long been a preferred ingredient within the majority of top brand Nitric Oxide and Testosterone Booster supplements.
Nitric Oxide is an important signalling intermediate within the human body and is well known for its crucial assistance in healthy blood flow to muscle tissue around the body, greatly improving overall muscle strength. After intense physical activity it is very common to feel what is commonly referred to as 'pumped' and/or 'muscle swell' gained from the burning up and repair of the body's muscle tissue, resulting from Nitric Oxide surging throughout the flow of blood within the tissue. Icariin extract is one the most well respected natural Nitric Oxide boosters on the supplement market, ensuring the efficient travel of blood and nutrients throughout the body, massively improving workout performance, heightening resistance to fatigue and aiding muscle recovery.
Below is a link to a humorous yet vital article written by a well regarded competition level bodybuilder and martial arts trainer from Bodybuilding.com. The article describes icariin's astounding Nitric Oxide boosting capabilities in regards to both athletic performance and sexual fulfilment, especially at high purity icariin strengths:
The other major aspect that sets icariin apart from other performance booster supplements on the market is that alongside its Nitric Oxide abilities it also has the proven power to increase the delivery of circulating testosterone around the body. (*See the following abstract from NCBI for further info.)
The increased circulating testosterone obtained from icariin within Horny Goat Weed lends its hand to increasing both muscle mass and muscle strength as well as enhancing mental and physical energy, this nature of performance boost is hugely necessary when undergoing activities of high endurance enabling bodybuilders and athletes to go the extra mile and surpass any previous performance boundaries.
Due to this unique combination of benefits, Icariin 60™ Horny Goat Weed has taken the natural sports supplement market by storm, being one of the healthiest ways to naturally increase both Nitric Oxide and Testosterone Levels simultaneously. Most performance supplement brands tend to use the more commonly available icariin extract purities ranging from the 20% to 50% icariin strength range, notoriously they then mix the extract with a bundle of other substandard supplement compounds in order to bloat the total milligrams per capsule, consequently diluting the actual icariin content of the capsule and ultimately making the supplement less effective at producing the desired results.
Icariin 60™ by World A.B.S is a formidable strength of icariin extract weighing in at a staggering 60% purity with zero dilution from other ingredients combined, making it a huge favourite amongst high endurance athletes of all types from tennis players to competition level bodybuilders who can now finally add an extremely powerful performance booster to their supplement stack which has the focused and vital agenda of simply gaining superior results.
Athletes and bodybuilders choose Icariin Health due to our dedication to supplying only the purest high strength 60% icariin Horny Goat Weed capsules.
