Yohimbe Bark

Yohimbe is a popular herb famed as an excellent aphrodisiac.

Yohimbe is also a rarity on natural foods store shelves: a traditional herb of Africa. It is derived from the inner bark of a large evergreen tree in the madder (Rubiaceae) family indigenous to the tropical forests of Cameroon, Gabon, and Zaire. An alkaloid derived from yohimbe is used in conventional drugs for male impotence and yohimbe has become a prominent if controversial herb for promoting sexual desire and performance.

Within the past decade various over-the-counter herbal preparations containing yohimbe have become increasingly popular, primarily as natural aphrodisiacs

Yohimbe Bark affects both the male and female reproductive, nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems. It contains an alkaloid yohimbine, which expands the blood vessels in the extremities of the body, including the genitals (similar to the prescription drugs Viagra?, Cialis?, and Levitra?), skin, and fat cells.

This compound has now been isolated, and is synthesized by pharmaceutical companies for use in the treatment of impotence. Yohimbine acts as an alpha adreno-receptor blocker, reducing the effect of hormones that cause constriction of blood vessels, which typically increases as we age. Yohimbe Bark particularly aids blood flow to the corpus cavernosom to more readily engorge the penis. This herb concurrently increases the body's production of norepinephrine which is essential to the formation of erections, and steps up adrenaline to nerve endings which enhance sexual stimulation

Yohimbe also increases fatty acid mobilization, it is decreasing fat synthesis and working as a great anti-depressant, especially when used in a small dosage. Yohimbe makes people mentally more active.

Scientific studies on yohimbe conducted since the 1930s have confirmed that the herb has definite effects on aspects of sexual performance. The alkaloid yohimbine isolated from yohimbe has become generally accepted by the medical establishment as an effective drug to treat some types of male impotence. Yohimbe (though not the whole herb) has been the subject of at least two-dozen scientific studies, most of which have confirmed its ability to increase blood flow to the penis and cause "erectile stimulation."

Today yohimbine is approved by the FDA for treatment of male impotence, whether due to vascular problems, diabetes, or psychogenic causes. Even some veterinarians now turn to yohimbine to treat impotent breeding stallions, for example. Studies have determined that yohimbine is useful for arousing animals (including horses, elk, cats, and dogs) and shortening their recovery after they have been sedated or anesthetized. A few studies have also explored yohimbine's potential in the treatment of narcolepsy (uncontrollable sleepiness) and congestive heart failure. A growing category of use of the whole herb is in bodybuilding and weight-loss formulas, though only a few studies (again, done with yohimbine) have suggested potential benefits on thermogenesis (fat burning) and others have shown no effect on such factors as body weight, body fat, increase muscle and strength. Some people take yohimbe as a stimulant or mood brightener. Yohimbe may also play a role in helping to treat or prevent exhaustion and mild depression.

Since our Yohimbe bark is harvested only in the rainy season, and dried very carefully, powdered at low heat its potency is maximum. So we recommend you use less of our vital herb supplement.
