	Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) Supplement Review
		Epimedium is grown as an ornamental herb in Asia and the Mediterranean region, and various species are used for medicinal purposes, including Epimedium sagittatum, Epimedium brevicornum, Epimedium wushanense, Epimedium koreanum, and Epimedium pubescens.
		Animal studies have shown that epimedium may function a bit like an adaptogen (such as cordyceps, rhodiola, ashwagandha, and ginseng) by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low (an energy-promoting effect), but reducing cortisol levels when they are elevated (an anti-stress effect).
		Animal studies using epimedium have shown a reduction in bone breakdown, an increase in muscle mass, and a loss of body fat-each of which may be linked to the observed return of abnormal cortisol levels back to normal values (and rhythm).

		Red Epimedium has lovely spiked blooms as shown in the photos on this page, the first photo taken in early May (2002), the second photo in late April (2003).
		The blooms are strongest in April & May, but it not rare that it still puts up an occasional bloom later in the year, though once the fabulous leaves are grown thick in mid-May through Autumn, later blooms will not seem as significant.
		Still, when there are several solitary leafcutters in a small area & they're all focusing their attention on just two plants -- during 2002, they preferred the Red epimedium & a nearby meadow rue -- their doings can become a bit too obvious.
