Guys, this is a copy of a post I did back in June (at Pegym.com), of my experience with HGW. My hope in using these products was for erection quaity (EQ). Its more of a daily log and its lengthy. Hope it helps.

Horny Goat Weed
HGW & Maca as an alternative to Viagra/Cialis & Levitra. I purchased a single bottle from two different manufacturers (GNC & Irwin Naturals). The information below is taken from each bottle.
Please note:
My body’s response to MOST supplements or medications is naught. Unfortunately, I’m the body type (whatever that is), Doctor’s refer to when the say “this medication or supplement may not work for everyone.” Therefore, my review(s) should be interpreted as indifferent and not biased pro or con toward either of these products. Experiment with these yourselves, your review will also help. Along with these supplements I was also taking Asian Ginsing, Erection Tea, L-Arginie and Ginko.
*GNC Horny Goat Weed 60 ct. ($20) Serving size 2 capsules.
HGW extract 600mg
Maca root extract 250mg
Polypopidum vulgare root powder 25mg.
The sales person I spoke with at this particular location said this is their #2 best selling ED supplement; #1 seller was Extenze.
Directions: “take two to four capsules before activity.” Nothing mentioned about taking on daily basis to build up in the system.
1st day, took 2 @ 3pm, one more @ bedtime, 11pm, and 4 when I woke up the next morning. I was hoping for some reaction each time, especially that morning, but nothing, not even a recognizable surge of blood.
2nd day, took 4 when I woke up. Recognized a surging all day, not quit enough to get an erection but noticeable. My penis was very sensitive (in a good way) to touch; mind and body was seeking sexual gratification (horny) all day, so much so I was embarrassed at times. Also, exceptionally hungry; my stomach and penis contended for satisfaction.
3rd day, took 4 when I woke up. Nothing all day long, typical day with ED, disappointing.
4th day, took 4 when I woke up. Nothing. Around 3pm took 2 gel caps of Steel-Libido (see below), still nothing. Took another HGW before bed.
5th day, took 4 @wake up, nothing.
6th day, took 4 @ wake up, 2 @ 3pm, nothing.
7th day, took 5 @ wake up, 2 @ 3pm, nothing 1 @ bedtime.
Change in routine, took more that enough each day to build up in system with no results beyond 2nd day. Backing off on amount to see if less provides better results for EQ.
8th day, 1 @ wake up, 1 @ 3pm, 1 @ bedtime. Horny day! No EQ boost though.
9th day, 1 @ wake up, 1 @ 3pm, 1 @ bedtime. Nothing.
10th – 14th day, 1 @ wake up, 1 @ 3pm, 1 @ bedtime. No change, nothing
Conclusion:
Over a period of approximately 2 weeks, this particular product by GNC did nothing for my ED or EQ however it did produce enhanced horniness, stomach hunger and two extremely sensitive (unforgettable) orgasms. Ejaculate volume was normal.
*Steel-Libido Irwin Naturals 75 ct. ($17) serving size 4 soft-gels. Link provides all information e.g. ingredients.
http://www.herbalremedies.com/libido-2.htmlThe sales person I spoke with at this particular location (Super Supplements) said this is their #1 best selling ED supplement locally.
Directions: (bottle says different than web-site)
Bottle:
“(Adult) for daily maintenance, take one to four liquid soft-gels in divided doses. For more immediate response prior to intimacy take up to 4, one hour before activity. Do not take more than 4 in one day.”
Web-Site:
“Take 1-3 capsules throughout the day on an empty stomach. For a more immediate response prior to intimacy take 4 capsules 2 hours before activity.”
1st day, 4 @ wake up to see if anything would happen on empty stomach, nothng.
2nd-7th day 1 three time a day Morn, Mid-day, Night, nothing
8th day, 4 @ wake up, nothing.
9th-14th three time a day Morn, Mid-day, Night, nothing.
Conclusion:
As expected I did not get any results as advertised on bottle or website.
As I mentioned above at the beginning my body does not respond to most medications or supplements so I’m not surprised. I like trying new things with hope for something but the results are the same; no effect. Call me stupid but I will continue to try. To date (6/24/10) I’ve tried L-Aginine, Erection Tea, Ginko, Ginsing, HGW & Steel Libido separately and collectively and sadly report that not one of them produced any effect toward an erection or erection quality.
I hope I have not negated or influenced anyone from trying the products mentioned above; I just wanted to help individuals like me who are aware of their body’s inability to respond to what the masses speak so highly about. Please try them and let us all know how they work (don’t work). Hopefully, I will learn from you and find something that will work for me.
