Yohimbine

Yohimbine is a natural indole alkaloid isolated from the bark of the African yohimbe tree (Pausinystalia johimbe), valued among athletes for its ability to reduce body fat and support potency. It is distinguished by its unique mechanism of action affecting metabolism and the nervous system, particularly activating "stubborn" areas of fat tissue.

What is Yohimbine?

Yohimbine is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of indole alkaloids, naturally occurring in the bark of the yohimbe tree and the shrub Rauwolfia serpentina. In its pure form, it is a white powder with low solubility in water, which is why it is commercially available mainly as a hydrochloride (HCL) salt.

It is important to distinguish pure yohimbine from yohimbe (yohimba) – a decoction of the bark containing over 50 other alkaloids and bioactive substances. In sports supplementation, pure yohimbine HCL is preferred, as it ensures controlled dosing and predictable effects.

Mechanism of Action of Yohimbine

Yohimbine works by:

• Blocking alpha-2 adrenergic receptors – increasing the release of norepinephrine, accelerating lipolysis, and improving blood circulation
• Stimulating thermogenesis – increasing heat production in adipose tissue, raising energy expenditure
• Stimulating the central nervous system – enhancing concentration and energy levels

The effects of yohimbine are most effective at low insulin levels, so the best results are achieved when taken on an empty stomach before training.

Types of Yohimbine Products

At GymHub.pro, the following products are available:

• Yohimbine HCL 5mg – a mild dose for beginners, ideal for testing tolerance
• Yohimbine HCL 10mg – the standard dose for experienced athletes
• Double Yohimbine HCL 10mg – an advanced formula with enhanced effects

All products contain pure yohimbine hydrochloride with confirmed active substance content.

Effects and Benefits

Yohimbine offers a range of benefits for physically active individuals:

• Increased lipolysis in stubborn body areas – especially effective in reducing fat in the abdominal, thigh, and hip regions
• Enhanced thermogenic effect – accelerates the rate of calorie burning
• Improved focus and energy – provides better concentration during workouts
• Increased blood flow – improves tissue circulation and recovery
• Support for sexual functions – may improve potency, especially in men

Studies suggest that yohimbine supplementation can increase fat-burning effectiveness by approximately 2% compared to a placebo.

Who is it for?

Yohimbine is recommended for:

• Advanced athletes – during competition preparations or at the final stages of fat reduction
• Bodybuilders and individuals practicing physique sports – to achieve maximum muscle definition
• People with "stubborn fat" issues – particularly in the abdominal, thigh, or hip areas
• Physically active individuals – who have reached a plateau in fat reduction

Supplements containing yohimbine are not recommended for individuals with low physical activity or beginners.

Safety and Side Effects

Although yohimbine has beneficial properties, it may cause unwanted side effects:

• Insomnia and irritability
• Increased blood pressure and accelerated heart rate
• Headaches and chest pains
• Excessive sweating
• Vision disturbances
• Excessive stimulation

Contraindications apply to individuals with:

• High or low blood pressure
• Neurological disorders
• Diabetes
• Gastrointestinal problems
• Heart and circulatory diseases

Yohimbine should not be used by pregnant women, breastfeeding individuals, children, adolescents, or seniors. It is also not recommended for those taking antidepressants, blood pressure regulators, sleeping pills, or sedatives.

How to Use Yohimbine? – Best Practices

To achieve optimal results:

1. Start with low doses – 2-3 mg, gradually increasing to 5-10 mg per day
2. Take on an empty stomach – 30 minutes before training
3. Avoid carbohydrates – insulin rise inhibits yohimbine’s action
4. Combine with caffeine – 200mg of caffeine and 3g of tyrosine can enhance effectiveness
5. Stay hydrated
6. Cycle supplementation – 4-6 weeks of use, followed by a 2-week break

The optimal dosage is usually 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight, not exceeding 10-15 mg per day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is yohimbine legal?

When is the best time to take yohimbine?

The best time is on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before training, when insulin levels are low.

How long should I use yohimbine?

It is recommended to use it for 4-6 weeks, followed by a 2-week break to avoid developing tolerance.

Is yohimbine effective for women?

Yes, it can be helpful in reducing "female-type obesity" – fat tissue in the thighs, hips, and abdominal areas. Women should start with lower doses (2-3 mg).
