I was wondering if that was true, and if it is, what way the best to take it from tea, capsules, or powders? | | | |  | |  | | | ZooScape Moderator - April 18, 2006, 12:07 | #10001227 | | | |  | | | | A great deal of research has been done in recent years concerning human sexual performance and libido drive. Some of that research have focused on natural, botanical ingredients which have legendary history as natural aphrodisiacs, and Horny Goat Weed is among the top performers.
Many cultures have reported that Horny Goat Weed supports increased libido, improved erectile function, and relief from menopausal discomfort. While the scientific community has focused mainly on men and treatments for erectile dysfunction, women's sexual performance and loss of sex drive (among both sexes) are also hot issues today. In recent studies, a daily dose of Horny Goat Weed extract has shown significant results as a sexual performance enhancer for both men and women - boosting sexual energy and stamina.
Horny Goat Weed lowers blood pressure by dilating capillaries and blood vessels while slowing the adrenal production that can hinder blood flow to the sex organs. Men achieve better erections due to this effect and it is thought that women benefit from the increased blood flow as well, and perhaps from other testosterone-like alkaloids and sterols within the plant. Research has also shown that Horny Goat Weed significantly increases testosterone in mice.
If you are interested in taking Horny Goat Weed, the form in which you do take it is more of a personal decision. It should be noted that as the capsules are made from gelatin, it does require more effort for the body to break down the capsule to get to the ingredients contained within, therby making it take slightly longer for the active ingredient to begin being absorbed into your system. However, capsules are the most convenient way as they are easily transported and do not require any preparation. With teas and powders, the active ingredient gets into your system to begin its' work faster than the capsules. Powders are a finely ground version of the actual herb itself, creating a substance that is easily dissolved into juice or water. Teas are a cut version of the actual herb and when steeped in boiling water, allow for the active ingredient to be released from the herb and infused into the water.
