Packaging: 100 grams 5:1 concentrated extract powder

Please Note: Plum Flower 5:1 Single Herb Extract concentrated powders are packaged in powder form intended for a variety of health conditions and uses - therefore, detailed usage instructions are not included on the label.

Typical Dosage: Dosage varies depending on health condition (please see your herbalist). Typically, herbalists recommend 1-2 grams of concentrated 5:1 extract powder per day (or 0.5 grams, 2-3 times per day). The typical equivalent dosage measured in teaspoons is approximately 1/4 teaspoon per day. As with most Chinese herbal formulas, you may use the lowest dosage you find effective. Powder is intended for "as-needed" short-term use only, and should not be used on a daily basis for more than 2-3 weeks at a time. Extract powder may be dissolved in warm water, tea, juice or other beverage.

Contraindications: Discontinue use or reduce dosage if you experience excessive signs of heat in the body, prostate swelling or excessive libido. Excessive use can cause dizziness, vomiting, dry mouth, nosebleeds and urinary difficulties.

Horny Goat Weed has been used for centuries in China to boost libido, improve erectile function and restore sexual fire, power and sensation. The herb is believed to increase natural sex drive and endurance by encouraging the body to release more testosterone. This natural ingredient is found in many herbal sex formulas, including penis and penis enlargement formulas for men and libido and menopause formulas for women.

Behind the funny name of Horny Goat Weed stands a time-tested aphrodisiac that increases libido and improves sexual function. Horny Goat Weed was first described in ancient Chinese medicinal texts over 2,000 years ago, and is used in China to treat a wide range of health conditions. Horny goat weed consists of several species of epimedium, a leafy plant which grows in the wild, most abundantly at higher altitudes. The leaves of the plant contain a variety of flavonoids, polysaccharides, sterols and an alkaloid called magnaflorine. While the precise manner that Horny Goat Weed works remains a mystery, the plant has long been employed to restore sexual fire, boost erectile function, allay fatigue and alleviate menopausal discomfort.

Horny Goat Weed is perhaps the most popular sexual tonic herb in China today, with hundreds of metric tons being sold in major herbal markets. The herb's frequent us by both men and women, and its 2,000 year popularity seems to point to its success. Click Here for a link to an article on Horny Goat Week from Acupuncture Today.

Product Details

5:1 concentrated extract powder, made with Plum Flower sulfur-free herbs under Plum Flower quality assurance measures. The 5:1 potent concentrate is equivalent to 5x its weight in either pulverized herb powder or raw herb - without any added fillers or other ingredients.

Plum Flower Brand Unsulfured Herbs

Plum Flower follows strict traditional guidelines for the correct preparation of herbs (frying, baking, steaming, etc.) to ensure effectiveness and to decrease the potential for side effects. When preparing herbs in the traditional way, Plum Flower uses updated equipment and procedures to ensure stable and uniform quality. Plum Flower Unsulfured Herbs are more natural in color, texture, and venation and in some cases may look very different than conventional herbs in the marketplace due to their absense of sulfur.

Herb Processing

Most Plum Flower herbs are sterilized with heat or high-pressure alcohol steam. Irradiation or ethylene oxide sterilization is never used. Following sterilization, the herbs are processed and oven-dried. This actually sterilizes the herbs a second time and ensures that herbs are well dried. Herbs that are more delicate or rely on essential oil components for effectiveness are carefully shade or fan dried. Other herbs are best sun-dried. Drier herbs prolong shelf life without preservatives and are lighter, giving you more per pound. To help prevent spoilage Plum Flower also applies Modified Atmospheric Packaging concepts, namely vacuum packing the herbs after drying, then injecting the outer package with harmless nitrogen to further inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms and molds.

Herb Quality

Plum Flower Brand herbs are exceptionally clean. The herbs are washed in industrial stainless steel rotating drum cleaners equipped with water jets. This initial wash helps remove dirt and dust, thereby lowering bacteria and heavy metal levels right from the beginning. Herbs are also subject to a very careful grading and sorting system. Most herbs are hand-sorted to make sure there is no extraneous matter, soil, powder, pebbles or dust in the herbs you buy. Plum Flower ships most of its herbs in vacuum packed double bags, further protecting them from damage, insects, dust, and dirt during the shipping process. Plum Flower Brand herbs are carefully monitored for impurities at an in-house lab where it tests for microbial levels and sulfur residues. In addition, outside labs test for DDT and Hexachlorabenzene, two non-permitted pesticides, as well as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium heavy metal levels.

Shelf Life and Freshness

Plum Flower Brand herbs have a shelf life of 24-36 months. In contrast, commercial sulfured herbs can look unchanged 5 to 6 years or longer after purchase, making it difficult to tell how fresh they truly are. The sulfur also acts as bleach, covering bruises and other signs of decay. Without preservatives, our Plum Flower Brand unsulfured herbs naturally reveal their freshness and quality. From the fields to you, Plum Flower makes every effort to provide the cleanest, safest, freshest and highest quality Chinese herbs available today.

Raw Herb Ordering Guidelines

1.

Raw Herbs and Extract Powders are offered as a convenience for professional herbalists and those customers who have the experience and knowledge necessary to safely prepare their own formulas. Chinese Herbs Direct is unable to provide any guidance on the preparation, dosage or usage of Raw Herbs and Extract Powders. For any questions on these items, we ask that you consult a licensed herbalist or health care provider prior to ordering.

2.In order to offer the freshest herbs possible, we do not keep a regular inventory of most Raw Herbs and Extract Powders in our warehouse. You should therefore expect to wait an additional 5-7 days (beyond normal delivery times) for your order to be received.

3.We guarantee our Raw Herbs and Extract Powders to be fresh and of the highest quality available. However, we are unable to extend this guarantee beyond freshness and quality (i.e. no refunds for ordering the wrong herb, changing your mind, etc.).
