According to one __study__, oral yohimbine supplementation may actuate significant fat loss in athletes. [|[10]] Numerous bodybuilding supplement companies sell formulations of yohimbine for [|transdermal] delivery to effect a local reduction of [|adipose tissue], although the experimental evidence for its efficacy is limited Yohimbine was explored as a remedy for [|type 2 diabetes] in animal and human models carrying polymorphisms of the α2A-adrenergic receptor gene

Yohimbine has also been used for the treatment of sexual side effects caused by some antidepressants (SSRIs), female hyposexual disorder, as a blood pressure boosting agent in autonomic failure, xerostomia, and as a probe for noradrenergic activity.

The addition of yohimbine to fluoxetine or venlafaxine has also been found to potentiate the antidepressant action of both of these agents.

Yohimbine has been used to facilitate recall of traumatic memories in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Use of yohimbine outside therapeutic settings may not be appropriate for persons suffering from PTSD. In pharmacology, yohimbine is used as a probe for α2-adrenoceptor. In __veterinary__ medicine, yohimbine is used to reverse anesthesia from the drug xylazine in small and large animals.

An example of where one could find yohimbol would be in the inner bark of a tree mainly found in Southern Africa.

PRODUCTION

Yohimbine is the principal alkaloid of the bark of the West African evergreen //Pausinystalia yohimbe// (formerly //Corynanthe yohimbe//), family //Rubiaceae// (Madder family). There are 31 other yohimbane alkaloids found in Yohimbe. In Africa, yohimbe has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac. However, it is very important to note that while the terms //yohimbine//, //yohimbine hydrochloride//, and //yohimbe bark extract// are related, they are not interchangeable. The main active chemical present in yohimbe bark is yohimbine HCl (indole alkaloid), found in the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree. However, the levels of yohimbine that are present in yohimbe bark extract are variable and often very low. Therefore, although yohimbe bark has been used traditionally to reduce male erectile dysfunction, there is not enough scientific evidence to form a definitive conclusion in this area.
