When Was Horny Goat Weed First Discovered?
Legend has it that this herb got its name from an ancient goat farmer in the East. He noticed that once his flock ate this plant, they became more sexually stimulated and active.
Since then, Horny Goat Weed has had a long history of use in traditional Eastern medicine as this plant is native to China, Japan and Korea.

How Is Horny Goat Weed Taken?
One of the easiest way to take Horny Goat Weed is through supplementation. We recommend consulting a Chinese medical practitioner prior to taking this herb, as they will be able to provide a tailored daily dosage for your personal health needs.
With 60 capsules in each bottle, the most common daily dosage for individuals is 2 tablets per day to assist health and wellbeing.
Many of the Vita team usually take one with breakfast, and the other just before bed as a good routine. One bottle is one month's supply.
How Concentrated Are These Herbs?
Each capsule contains 500mg of herb. These concentrated herbal supplements have been standardised to a concentration ration of 7:1, up to 200% stronger than other brands on the market.
The herbs used in Horny Goat Weed are never sulphur treated and they are grown according to ancient principles at the original source.
These are typically safe to consume when pregnant, but we would always advise checking with your Chinese medical practitioner to confirm your appropriate dosage.
When Should I Start To See Results?
The best advice we can give is that consistency is key to achieving results. With regular supplementation of Horny Goat Weed, you should start to see and feel a difference within 3 months.
This time frame may differ between individuals who have been advised to consume a smaller daily dosage by their Chinese medical practitioner.
