What is Yohimbe?

Yohimbe is an herb made from the inner bark of the yohimbe tree, which grows wild throughout Africa. For many centuries, it has been used as a natural aphrodisiac, stimulant and tonic. Double-blind, placebo-contolled research has proven the folk wisdom: Yohimbe bark indeed improves libido and sexual performance by affecting both the male and female reproductive, nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems. Yohimbe does this through its active ingredient, yohimbine, an alkaloid monoamine oxidase inhibitor (or MAO,) that lowers blood pressure while producing blood vessel engorgement in the pelvic area and therefore stimulating the lower center of the spinal cord. This stimulation can cause a strong aphrodisiac effect.

Yohimbine appears to work even better for erectile dysfunction not caused by a physical problem. A German study examined whether 30 mg/day of yohimbine for 4 weeks would help men with erectile dysfunction not due to a physical problem. Yohimbine was found to be very effective. For organic erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction caused by a physical problem), studies found that yohimbine was beneficial for men with organic erectile dysfunction.

Yohimbe bark extracts are widely promoted online and in health food stores as a natural aphrodisiac to increase libido and treat erectile dysfunction.

Yohimbine has been found to relax and dilate blood vessels in the penis, resulting in increased blood flow and erection. It may also stimulate areas in the brain involved in sexual desire.

Yohimbe also may elevate mood and reduce depression, another plus for sexual pleasure. (Or maybe the sexual pleasure elevates mood and reduces depression - who cares as long as it works?)

Yohimbe For Weight Loss

Yohimbine has been found to increase lipolysis by increasing the release of norepinephrine available to fat cells and blocking alpha-2 receptor activation.

Yohimbe also shows the ability to aid in weight loss by suppressing the body's ability to store fat. Some bodybuilders feel that it's also an ergonogenic - an energy-booster - that allows them to work out harder and longer. Part of that effect may be caused by yohimbe's stimulant properties; some of that may be a placebo effect, as people naturally assume any aphrodisiac must raise testosterone levels (yohimbe doesn't, it increases circulation.)

Is Yohimbe Safe?

For most people, using yohimbe is very safe, if taken in proper dosages. Sweating and mild nausea are short-term potential side effects. However, since yohimbine is an MAO inhibitor, like that used in some powerful tranquilizers, antidepressants and blood-pressure medications, people already taking such medicines should refrain from using yohimbe as well. Caution should be used when mixing any MAO inhibitor with alcohol. Persons with a history of psychoses should also avoid Yohimbe.
