How effective is epimedium in improving sexual performance? Here are three ways to tell you

Epimedium is a traditional Chinese medicine with good kidney-tonifying effect. According to legend, epimedium was originally a weed in the bushes. Later, medical scientists found that after rams ate it, their penises were particularly easy to erect and the number of matings also increased significantly. So after repeated tests, they confirmed its kidney-tonifying effect, which is also the reason why epimedium got its name. So, what are the reasons why epimedium can enhance male sexual function?

1. Effects on endocrine system

Epimedium can promote sexual function due to the hypersecretion of semen. When the seminal vesicle is full, it stimulates the sensory nerves and indirectly arouses sexual desire. The main ingredient of epimedium, epimedium, can significantly promote the development of epididymis and seminal vesicles in young mice. Epimedium has androgen-like effects.

2. Impact on immune system function

The number of T cells, lymphocyte proliferation rate, antibodies, antigens and phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system are low in patients with kidney deficiency, but these can be improved after treatment with kidney-tonifying drugs such as Epimedium. Studies have shown that Epimedium polysaccharides have the effect of enhancing the body's immune function. Epimedium polysaccharides increase the number of spleen antibody-producing cells and promote the production of antibodies by each plasma cell through their influence on spleen antibody-producing cells.

3. Anti-aging effect on the body

Epimedium can affect the aging mechanism in different ways. For example, it can affect cell proliferation, prolong growth period, regulate immune and secretory systems, and improve metabolism and organ functions. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that "deficiency of vital energy" can lead to aging, the principle of "strengthening the body's vitality" is adopted to maintain normal adrenal cortex function and immune function, which can delay the aging process and prevent the occurrence of senile diseases. Epimedium total flavonoids have the function of enhancing T cell immunity, B cell immunity and adrenal cortex, indicating that the anti-aging effect of epimedium is related to the function of the immune system.
