What is Yohimbe?
Botanically known as Pausinystalia yohimbe, yohimbe is a tall evergreen tree native to West Africa. It is a member of the Rubiaceae family, which also includes the coffee plant and gardenia flowers. Incorporated into traditional wellness practices for centuries, the tree is renowned for the extract of its dried bark, which is celebrated for its ability to support healthy libido. The plant's standing as an intimacy enhancer eventually led to its use beyond Africa. 19th-century European explorers who discovered the bark’s amorous attributes reinforced its reputation as the "love tree."**
Yohimbe's ability to encourage healthy sex drive stems from its numerous natural alkaloids, most prominently yohimbine, which is an alpha-2 blocker that features a stimulant effect. Research has indicated that yohimbine increases blood flow throughout the body, including the genitals. This biological activity appears to be particularly helpful in optimizing male sexual function.**
Yohimbe Supplements
Yohimbe supplement products are extracted from the bark of its namesake tree. Supplements are available in capsule, tablets or liquid form. Supplements are sometimes standardized to supply a guaranteed minimum level of yohimbine, the active alkaloid compound that delivers the bark’s benefits.**
Yohimbe Dosage
Consult with your health care provider before taking yohimbe supplements or starting any routine supplementation. Though there is no standard dosage, medical experts generally recommend beginning with small amounts, in the range of 15 mg to 30 mg.**
