Apollo's Hegemony Horny Goat Weed is a natural dietary supplement containing epimedium extract, standardized for the content of 10% of icariin. The preparation aims to improve sexual function in men and women. It affects the increase of libido, helps in erectile dysfunction and raises the level of energy. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Epimedium (Epimedium spp.), otherwise known as "horny goat weed", is a plant derived from traditional Chinese medicine. Numerous studies have shown beneficial effects of the plant on sexual function – it has aphrodisiac properties, increases sexual satisfaction, improves erections in men, improves blood circulation, among others, in genitals and muscles, and furthermore, it naturally promotes an increase in testosterone levels, stimulates and has a positive effect on bone health (including through anti-osteoporotic activity).
Icariin -- "the natural Viagra®"
The main active ingredient of the epimedium is icariin (ICA) –a flavanol glycoside. The mechanism of action of icariin is similar to the effects of drugs used in erectile dysfunctions, such as sildenafil and tadalafil. The mechanism consists in the selective inhibition of type 5 phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE-5). This enzyme is responsible for the transformation of cGMP into GMP. cGMP, as an element of cell signal transduction, is necessary to achieve an erection – it enables relaxation of smooth muscles and inflow of blood into the corpus cavernosum. Thus, blocking the PDE-5 enzyme protects cGMP against inactivation, leading to a long-lasting erection following sexual arousal.
In addition, icariin, by its effect on the nitric oxide synthase, promotes an increase in the level of nitric oxide (NO) which shows a vasodilatory effect. In a healthy person, the optimal amount of NO is produced by the arterial endothelium. However, in case of numerous disorders (including testosterone deficiency, atherosclerotic processes, mental tension), NO synthesis is insufficient. NO, by activating guanylate cyclase, increases the level of the aforementioned cGMP. This property additionally supports the PDE-5 inhibitory activity, which intensifies the pro-erectile effect of icariin.
A natural increase in testosterone levels
In animal studies, icariin has shown the ability to increase testosterone, low level of which contribute to erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, deterioration of physical fitness, reduction of muscle mass and bone density, and intensified fat accumulation. Icariin, by supporting the appropriate level of testosterone, may, therefore, help to combat these problems and support both restoration of energy and vitality, as well as may protect muscles from catabolism and support high training efficiency.
Benefits for the skeletal system
There are a number of publications pointing to the anti-osteoporotic properties of icariin. The compound demonstrated an effect on the stimulation of differentiation of mesenchymal cells (from which osteogenic cells are formed) and reduction of bone resorption. Consequently, icariin can be helpful in the regeneration of bone injuries. In addition, this activity is directly related to preventing the development of osteoporosis, so that icariin can be a potential element of therapy for this disease, especially in postmenopausal women.
In summary, Apollo's Hegemony Horny Goat Weed is a natural preparation, recommended to increase libido for both women and men, as well as for men struggling with erectile dysfunction, caused by aging, mental tension or hormonal imbalance, to improve sexual performance and sensations, and for athletes and physically active people – to support muscle anabolism and increase energy levels during training.

BuyHorny goat weed – what is it?
Horny goat weed is an herb known from the traditional Chinese medicine, where it used to improve sexual functions and raise male hormone levels.
Horny goat weed is known for its influence on male potency, and the effects result from two mechanisms. Active substances of the herb, which include icariin, can increase expression of nitric oxide synthase, which in turn can raise the level of this hormone in the body system. The most common property of nitric oxide is relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, which results in smoother blood circulation and its higher retention in the tissues of genital organs. The second mechanism is selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases type 5 (PDE-5), which resembles the action of sildenafil, a Viagra ingredient. This increases concentration of cGMP molecules in cells of penis tissues. It is speculated that horny goat weed shows positive influence on the testosterone level in men.

Icariin – what is it?
Icariin is the main active component of horny goat weed (Epimedium), which was popular in Far East cultures because of its abilities to increase potency and influence on sexual experience.
Mechanism of action of this substance practically resembles action of very effective potency medicine, sildenafil (Viagra). It consists in selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases type 5, so that it increases concentration of cGMP in penis cells. Icariin affinity for PDE-5 is about 100 times greater than for other isoforms of this enzyme. Another advantage is an increase in expression of NOS enzyme, which raises concentration of nitric oxide. This compound in turn dilatates vascular smooth muscles and increases blood flow i.a. to genital organs. According to studies in animal models, it is indicated that icariin can be potentially used to increase testosterone level in men with deficiencies.
Icariin can be found in products containing horny goat weed which can be found in the offer of muscle-zone.pl
