Apollo’s Hegemony Horny Goat Weed is a natural dietary supplement containing a standardised horny goat weed extract.

Horny Goat Weed is a group of various plant species of the Epimedium genus. They have been used for ages in traditional medicine because of their efficiency in supporting sexual functions by, for example, combating erectile dysfunction and low libido. Their other abilities include reducing fatigue, joint pain, and improving bone health.

The main active compound of horny goat weed is icariin (ICA), a flavonol glycoside. ICA has been demonstrated to be active in the cavernosal smooth muscle by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), an enzyme that catalyses cGMP hydrolysis, that way blocking blood vessel dilation in the penis. Therefore, the inhibition of PDE5 makes it possible for blood to fill the arteries in the penis and create an erection. The mechanism of its activity is technically the same as the one of the pharmaceutical drug sildenafil (Viagra®). 

What is more, ICA has been shown to improve the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production in endothelial cells. NO is the main chemical transmitter for the efficient and quick delivery of blood to penis tissue, which can further reinforce the PDE5-inhibiting properties.
 
In addition to improving erection, ICA seems to increase testosterone levels as well, which can help to improve sports performance, increase energy levels, and boost sex drive. Research shows that horny goat weed can affect the libido of both men and women. 

To sum up, Apollo’s Hegemony Horny Goat Weed contains a herb that can potentially support sexual functions in a natural way, especially concerning erectile dysfunction. It effectively enhances libido and increases energy levels.
