| Description: Yohimbe is an evergreen tree also called Pausinystalia Johimbe, native to central and west Africa. The bark of the tree contains a potent substance called yohimbine which is the source of the medicinal benefits. Yohimbine is a potent nerve-blocker. It's added to many natural supplements, generally those for male sexual enhancement. There's a prescription medication called Yohimbine hydrochloride in the United States which is used to treat impotence, but that is a different substance. Health Benefits: Most frequently, Yohimbe is used as an aphrodisiac and to treat erectile dysfunction in men. There's evidence to support its effectiveness in this realm. For example, a study in the International Journal of Impotence Research examined the effect of Yohimbe on 18 men and found that it was quite helpful in treating erectile dysfunction in about half the participants. Another research study gave veterans with erectile dysfunction Yohimbe for a month. At that point, 34% of the men had some improvement in symptoms, and 20% could achieve full erections. There's some speculation that Yohimbe can improve athletic performance, and that it can help people burn fat and lose weight. A study published in Research in Sports Medicine looked at the effect of Yohimbe on the body composition and athletic performance of soccer players. They found little effect on athletics, but the players did lose a significant amount of fat. There's very little concrete evidence that Yohimbe improves performance at sports. In general, the research on weight loss is mixed, with some studies finding a positive link and others discovering no effect. Yohimbe has also been used for several medicinal purposes, such as treating dementia, exhaustion, diabetes complications, insomnia, leprosy, low blood pressure, and obesity. |
