The evidence in words
How much to take
Not recommended given the lack of human data.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Horny Goat Weed; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Icariin weakly inhibits PDE5 (the target of erectile-dysfunction drugs) in lab studies.
Bottom line
A plausible mechanism with no real human evidence and typically sub-therapeutic dosing. Skip it for proven options.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
