Its main component, icariin is a flavonoid, which acts as a PDE5 inhibitor, which is essential for the ability of getting and sustaining an erection. It prevents the possible degrading of the blood flow to the penis and the muscle relaxation allowing for a normal erection by PDE5 enzymes in the body.
This is why this natural and powerful herb with a name which speaks for itself (“horny”) is a popular ingredient and compound in the majority of sexual enhancement and fertility boosting natural supplements available.
