Horny Goat Weed (as HG20X™) std. to 20% Icariin:
Icariin is derived from Horny Goat Weed. There are numerous standardizations available, but for the purpose of inclusion in PCT Assist, we selected the ultra-potent 20% extract.
Icariin supports an increase in natural testosterone levels and libido/sex drive, and also has been shown to support improved erection quality by counteracting the protein phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme that interferes with blood flow to the penis.
The importance of standardization:
As with many herbs, it’s not the herb itself that provides the benefits, but the active constituent that the herb is standardized for.
The active constituent of Horny Goat Weed that provides the benefits is Icariin.
It is very important to distinguish between Icariin and Icariins, as the (s) at the end makes all the difference. You want Icariin without the (s) at the end, as it is Icariin that provides the benefits whereas Icariins do not.
Unfortunately, many Horny Goat Weed products on the market are not standardized at all or are standardized for Icariins, as that is a lot cheaper than being standardized for Icariin. This allows for brands to significantly cut product costs, but is deceptive towards consumers, as most consumers don’t know the difference and what they should be looking for.
At Competitive Edge Labs, it’s important to us that our products provide what customers want most – results!
That’s why we use HG20X™, a Horny Goat Weed standardized for a minimum 20% Icariin.
