Benefits of Yohimbine

Yohimbine, the active ingredient found in the bark of the plant yohimbe, has potential health benefits. You can find herbal extracts of yohimbe in stores or online, and you can get a prescription for yohimbine from your doctor. Pure yohimbine has been studied and shown to improve certain health issues, but medical use of the herbal extract of yohimbe bark extract is still controversial.

Libido

• Yohimbine has been shown to improve libido in men and women. Yohimbine especially helps people whose libidos have been diminished due to antidepressant medications (selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors).

Erectile Dysfunction

• Men can use yohimbine to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence). It works by increasing blood flow to the genitals and can stimulate an erection in some men.

Increasing Low Blood Pressure

• Studies have shown that yohimbine can increase blood pressure and inhibit platelet aggregation, part of the blood clotting process. People with low blood pressure or an increased chance of blood clotting may potentially benefit from using yohimbine.

Dosage

• Be sure to consult a health professional before taking yohimbine to determine your correct dosage.
