What is Horny Goat Weed?
Other names: Epimedium, Yin Yan Huo
Horny goat weed is a leafy plant that is native to Asia and the Mediterranean region. It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. According to folklore, horny goat weed's reputed aphrodisiac qualities were discovered when a Chinese goat herder noticed increased sexual activity in his flock after they ingested the weed. It has helped men suffering from erectile dysfunction and women with sexual dysfunctions.
Animal studies indicate that horny goat weed may work by increasing nitric oxide levels, which relax smooth muscle and let more blood flow to the penis or clitoris.
Horny goat weed also appears to act by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme, which is the same way that the popular drug Viagra works. Some evidence suggests horny goat weed may modulate levels of the hormones cortisol, testosterone and thyroid hormone, bringing low levels back to normal.

What men say
After sampling Power Wine, this is what some men had to say:
I found Power Wine to be a strong, smooth drink. Whether room temperature or well chilled if offers a good taste. However, I would not drink it every day because of the alcohol level and potency. It makes a good chaser and provides energy. I would definitely recommend Power Wine for someone looking a good drink.
... JEROME
Power wine is much too sweet for my taste and reminds me of too many other drinks of that nature which have hit the market in recent months. There was nothing distinguishing about it.
... ARTHUR Ooh la la, it has put back the power in my wine!
... PAUL
A real tonic wine. Not too strong, just right.
... ELTON
Don't like the aroma, but the taste is actually OK. I am not sure if it's something that I would drink all night at a party, but the taste is definitely something that I could get used to.
... TEINO I had two bottles, and as I said before, they have put some power into my wine, not a bad tonic, but I get the feeling it's another hype that will be hip today and hop tomorrow.
.... PAUL It is good, makes you run up and down and tear off clothes. I recommend it to any man who wants a push-start, it's a good jump cable.
...SWABY
It puts you in the mood to make love.
... VIN
It is bad; I mixed it with Red Bull and it was wicked.
...SECURITY
It's like a tranquilliser, made me sleep.
... BARRY
Tastes like Red Label Wine and Stones Ginger Wine got together and had a child. Not bad but the alcohol content is 'troublingly' high. I'm thinking it must negate whatever benefits are possible from the roots.
