Brief Answer:
Horney goat weed overdose doesn't increase testosterone levels.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Horney goat week doesn't contain testosterone or increase production of testosterone so it cant give high testosterone levels in overdose.
Horney goat week is a Chinese alternative medicine herbal supplement containing Icariini a week PDE5 inhibitor aphrodisiac and with similar function to Viagra, Sildenafil or Cialis.
There is insufficient evidence that it increase testosterone levels.
