[Elaboration]

Horny goat weed is also known as "plant Viagra" and is rich in manganese, which can prevent testicular degeneration in males, enhance sexual function, and tonify the kidneys. Tribulus terrestris can nourish the kidney yang. Together, they are a perfect combination for tonifying the kidneys and boosting yang. However, don't think that you only need to tonify the kidneys when they're deficient. This wine can also be used to nourish the kidneys in conditions such as lower back and leg pain, hypertension, coughing and wheezing, urinary incontinence, and infertility. It can also be used for menopausal women as a health tonic. Additionally, it can improve symptoms such as osteoporosis, limb weakness, decreased energy, and declining memory.

Tribulus terrestris has been found to increase the sexual activity of fruit flies, significantly increasing their mating rate, with the strength of this effect correlating positively with the concentration of the administered substance. In a mouse model of "yang deficiency" induced by hydrocortisone, Tribulus terrestris had a certain restorative effect on yang deficiency symptoms, but it did not restore the animals to the level of the normal control group. Experiments have shown that oral administration of Tribulus terrestris decoction to "yang-deficient" mice can significantly increase their body weight, kidney weight, thymus weight, white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin level, and superoxide dismutase activity. When orally administered to male mice, it significantly prolonged their swimming time and survival time under hypoxic conditions. It also enhanced their nonspecific resistance.

Especially in winter, drinking a glass of horny goat weed wine can not only strengthen the yang but also have a health-promoting effect.
