Logan’s Private Reserve Horny Goat Weed SPAGYRIC Tincture
Horny Goat Weed is up there for us in one of our most popular herbs. Over 6,773 units sold and that’s just from when we started counting and through the website alone.
The name says it quite well in why people like this leafy herb.
As it is also known as Epimedium or Yin Yanh Huo and is well regarded for its libido and sexual effects.* It contains the “active constituent” icariin, which is a PDE5 inhibitor, the specific chemical mechanism by which erectile dysfunction drugs work. PDE5 is an enzyme that actually works against us in this department. By inhibiting its ability, we can increase blood flow to important and beneficial areas of the body and support overall health.
Of course, a natural herbal extract doesn’t work anywhere nearly as strong as those, but as many of our customers report, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.* ;)
In addition to the sexual benefits, Horny Goat Weed also delivers:
• Helps with Bone Mineral Density*
• Cardiovascular Benefits*
• Androgens Mimetic Properties*
• Rich in Bioflavonoids with Antioxidant Properties*
• Protects DNA*
• Emotional Balancing Effects*
• Mediates HPA Axis and Stress*
• Neuro-Protective*

• Supports Blood Pressure*
It is considered a strong Yang Jing herb targeting the Kidneys, Liver as well as Liver Qi.
In fact, it can be too potent for some, and is not recommended in cases of yin deficiency with heat signs.

Quality and Processing
The Horny Goat Weed used to make this Spagyric tincture is sourced from China.
The dried leaves were tinctured for over a month in a menstruum made with:
- Organic Cane Alcohol 40% ABV
- Filtered Fresh Spring Water
After pressing the leaves, they’re calcined and ground down into a fine white ash, then further extracted with distilled water and a gentle evaporation process until crystals are formed. These purified “salts” are added back into the tincture to finish the process.
Why Spagyrics?
As I dove deeper into herbalism, I learned about the REAL art of alchemy (not turning lead to gold, what most people think it’s about) specifically the spagyric arts with herbal plant material.
The idea behind a spagyric tincture is that the “salt” is added back in, which normal tinctures completely lack, just having the “mercury” and “sulfur” compounds. (Please note these are the philosophical elements, not to be confused with the chemicals by the same name. I’m trying to explain this in a way that doesn’t take an hour or more of training!)
“Salt,” as the most earthy part, in reality, the mineral matrix of the plant, makes the tincture more embodied…which in turn helps it to better work within your body. This is why you can often get better results with a lower dosage on a spagyric tincture vs. a regular tincture.
Recommended Dosage
We recommend ½ a dropper daily as a starting point, building up to 1 dropper a day.
This comes in a one-fluid-ounce bottle, so there are about 40 droppers per bottle.
At the recommended dose a bottle will last 40 days. Of course, you can modify the dose up or down as you best see fit.
Only two bottles per customer per purchase allowed.
