What is horny goat weed, and what is it used for?
Horny goat weed is an herbal supplement made from species of Epimedium genus of flowering plants. Horny goat weed has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.

An animal study found that icariin, the active compound in horny goat weed, may work like sildenafil (Viagra), a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil helps maintain an erection by improving blood flow to the penis. Sildenafil works by blocking an enzyme known as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) that limits blood flow. Icariin is also found to have PDE5 blocking properties but far weaker than sildenafil.
