1-3% icariin won't do diddly. I know that Logan believes that there is wisdom in using the whole plant and not a concentrated extract of actives, but if you aren't getting enough actives from the plant, taking it is next to worthless.
He told me himself in an e-mail that they are an herb company and not a drug company and they didn't believe in isolating only a part of the plant. While I appreciate that line of thinking, sometimes things like that need to occur for someone to find use in them -- just like they've done with pine pollen tincture. The people who want the hormonal effects to be pronounced produced a demand for the tincture.
Most experienced users will tell you that in order to get any real effects from HGW, you need at least a 40% icariin concentration. I hate to dog a product before I've tried it, but I'm guessing it won't be very effective.
