It’s been around for a very long time, and you could have asked any hard, horny Chinese man about it. Italian researchers say a Chinese herbal remedy called “horny goat weed” is a promising alternative to Viagra for men that want a little help.
The herb has long held a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac. The lab experiments, which did not look at whether the plant actually increases desire, could lead to new drugs to help men get erections, said Mario Dell'Agli, a researcher at the University of Milan, who led the study.
"The compound icariin is present in the horny goat weed in large amounts and its activity against (the enzyme) is lower compared to Viagra," he said. "But the new molecule we synthesized from icariin is as good as Viagra against (the enzyme)."
