Yohimbe is
one of the most popular natural supplement ingredients on
the market today. This is because of it's scientifically
known sexual enhancement and libido improvement properties.
When ingested, the body converts it to yohimbine and assimilates
it into the bloodstream.
If you are looking to enhance your sexual performance then a yohimbe based product
is going to be one of your most effective options. Depending on the yohimbe extract
level in the product, yohimbe based products can actually begin to be effective
within as little as 30 minutes. In many cases, the effects of the yohimbe can
remain in the body for as long as twelve hours.
Yohimbine is a selective competitive alpha2-adrenergic receptor antagonist
and is used for treating erectile dysfunction. It is claimed to be an aphrodisiac.
It is also used as a weight loss supplement as it increases noradrenaline
(norepinephrine) levels.
Research shows it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases
blood flow to the extremities and appendages. It does this
via an indirect mechanism of increasing the release of noradrenaline.
Yohimbine also has been shown to decrease fat synthesis in
the body by increasing fatty acid mobilization (causing weight
loss).
