As a bodybuilder I have probably tried just about every natural
testosterone enhancing product available for enhancing muscle
growth, the side effect of many of these products is enhanced
sexual performance as well. There are also some side effects
that are unwanted, such as heart palpitations and insomnia. In
this article I want to look closer at Yohimbe.
Yohimbe has been used for years by bodybuilders for muscular
enhancement but it has also been used as a sexual enhancement
due to its inherent ability to produce erections, in fact it is
probably the best product available for that.
Yohimbe is named for the bark of the Yohimbe tree but the actual
active ingredient is an alkaloid called yohimbine which is
responsible for the actual effects. You get the benefits of
Yohimbe from eating a significant amount of the bark or from the
prescription medicine named after yohimbine.
Unfortunately, the very qualities that make yohimbine such a
strong supplement for sexual enhancement also contribute to its
weaknesses. Yohimbine does not affect only the sexual and
muscular systems of the body, the effects are systemic for the
entire body resulting in irregular heartbeat and insomnia for as
long as 30 hours after even using just a small amount of
yohimbine making it worse for sleep than 20 cups of coffee.
Never happened to you? That's probably because the majority of
Yohimbe supplements on the market today are comprised of tiny
amounts of the yohimbine alkaloid and are therefore devoid of
any benefits.
Authentic Yohimbe bark is acquired in large quantities by the
pharmaceutical industry and is used to make prescription
yohimbine tablets. The Yohimbe supplements sold in most health
food stores contain almost no yohimbine.
Due to the popularity of the product the Yohimbe plants are
becoming more and more rare and hard to find. The reason for
this is mainly due to the fact that the harvesting of the bark
kills the tree and it takes over 10 years for a tree to grow to
harvesting size.
If you are looking for true yohimbine be sure that it is
pharmaceutical grade.
