Horny goat weed has a long history of use as an aphrodisiac in Asia, and recently has been shown to have a natural viagra-like effect in animal studies. According to the research, Epimedium increases engorgement of the corpus cavernosum, the blood vessel structure involved in erections. Like Viagra and Cialis, Epimedium influences the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate chemical pathways and promotes blood flow to the genitials.
