How to Use Tongkat Ali With Yohimbe

Tongkat ali and yohimbe are both popular male-enhancement and workout-supporting supplements. While yohimbe works by acting on the body's adrenal receptors, tongkat ali actually stimulates the production of testosterone. Together, the two can stimulate sexual response and enable muscle building.

Using Tongkat Ali and Yohimbe Together

• 1

  Talk to your doctor before taking any supplement. Tongkat ali has no known interactions, but yohimbe can be dangerous to people with certain medical conditions. Avoid tongkat ali and yohimbe if you have kidney disease, liver disease, a history of heart attack or an anxiety-related disorder.

• 2

  Select supplements from trusted brands. Look for standardized "prescription quality" yohimbine and tongkat ali. Tongkat ali is becoming endangered due to overharvesting, so it is especially important to seek products from ecologically conscious manufacturers.

• 3

  Begin, with your doctor's guidance, by taking a half dose each of yohimbe and tongkat ali with a large glass of water, 15 minutes before exercise or sexual activity. Note any side effects and discontinue use if they are intolerable.

• 4

  Increase your dose of each herb gradually to match the manufacturers' specific guidelines. Take both supplements 10 to 15 minutes before exercise or sexual performance, logging any changes in side effects.

• 5

  Discontinue use of tongkat ali and yohimbe periodically and only use them when necessary. While they can be taken daily for up to two weeks at a time, excessive use can result in heart disease, hormonal imbalance or damage to the liver or kidneys.
