[What is Epimedium?]

Epimedium extract is a popular aphrodisiac supplement and herbal sexual performance enhancer.It has a long history of traditional use in China for the alleviation of erectile dysfunction and for improving libido and fertility.

Also known as Horny Goat Weed, this supplement supposedly got its name after a farmer noticed that his flock of goats were particularly aroused after eating flowers of a specific type. These Epimedium flowers contain icariin, which is a natural compound that increases blood flow to sexual organs and promotes sex drive. Icariin has been found to increase Nitric Oxide synthesis as well as inhibiting the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme

[Icariin in Epimedium Extract]

Epimedium extracts powder contain an active phytochemical called icariin.Icariin has been observed to exhibit a number of useful traits, including renoprotective (liver protecting) hepatoprotective (kidney protecting), cardioprotective (heart protecting) and neuroprotective (brain protecting) effects.

It is also an antioxidant and can cause vasodilation. It exhibits antimicrobial characteristics and is thought to act as an aphrodisiac.

Icariin is classified as a flavonol glycoside, which is a type of flavonoid. Specifically, icariin is the 8-prenyl derivation of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside, a prevalent and important flavonoid.

A recently domesticated native North American fruit crop, the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is a diploid member of the Vaccinium genus of the acid-loving Ericaceae. The morphology and chemistry of the fruit are unique in contrast to other fruits. Fruit have hollow locules, contain benzoic acid, and are high in polyphenolic antioxidants, including unique A-type proanthocyanidins, which are beneficial to human health. Moreover, instead of fruity volatiles found in other fruit species, the major volatile is 1-ɑ terpineol. Relative to other crop species cranberry has undergone relatively little genetic improvement. Major breeding objectives are fruit rot resistance, heat stress tolerance and enhancement of phytochemical constituents.

MALE SEXUAL POTENCY – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Declining potency for males are usually due to aging, sudden or continuous weakening of health, or too much sex when young. There are many Chinese herbs that can arrest the decline. If taken over a period of time, they will gradually bring back your virility. Of course, they cannot bring you back to when you were 18.

Chinese herbs cannot deliver the mechanical performance of Viagra and the likes. Furthermore, they don’t give you the expected effect when you take them a few hours beforehand. Being a product of nature, they help you build up the potency at the rate your body can handle (not what your mind wants). Think of it as muscle building where a sustained effort gives you a long-term effect. After a period of time as short as a few weeks, you’ll find that the herbs are steadily working for you.

The prescription should basically be a strengthening combination aiming at the kidneys, the blood, the Qi, and the Yang.
1) Kidneys
Xu Duan 續 斷
Du Zhong 杜 仲
Qian Shi 芡 實
Rou Cong Rong 肉 蓯 容
2) Blood
Chuan Xiong 川 芎
Dang Gui 當 歸
Shu Di Huang 熟 地 黃
3) The Qi
Huang Qi 黃耆
Du Huo 獨 活
Gou Ji 狗 瘠
4) The Yang
Suo Yang 鎖 陽
Xian Ling Pi 仙 靈 皮
Ba Ji Tian 巴 戟 天
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

One must be careful not to prescribe an overdose for fast results. The consequence may be negative. When strengthening herbs are used, they generate a lot of heat inside the body. Excess heat may bring on sleep difficulty, mouth sores, headache, nose bleeding, or constipation. Worse, it may cause your blood pressure to rise.

Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for the excess heat to dissipate from your body before bedtime.
Drink more water if you feel more thirsty than usual.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Your age
* How weak is your body.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.
