6 Interesting Facts About Yohimbe I Bet You Never Knew

In this article we are going to be looking at 6 interesting facts about yohimbe that we can bet you never knew about. Let’s dive in.

Yohimbe is a tree that’s found in Africa. The bark of this tree has been used for centuries to treat various illnesses and conditions including allergic reactions, asthma, depression, erectile dysfunction, and anxiety.

Here are some interesting facts about the history and use of Yohimbe bark:

Yohimbe is the bark of a tree, which is native to Africa. The bark has been used as an aphrodisiac in Africa for centuries.

In the United States, Yohimbe is often prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction. However, there are side effects associated with this drug and it can increase blood pressure and heart rate.

Yohimbe has also been used as an antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication (although these uses are not approved by the FDA).

Additionally, it’s thought that Yohimbe may be effective at reducing angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis

In the early 19th century, a Belgian explorer named Pierre-Joseph Pelletier first discovered the bark of the Yohimbe tree in West Africa and described its medicinal properties.

The bark was used to treat parasitic worms and prevent malaria in humans as well as animals. Later on, in 1851, Dr. Elie Metchnikoff isolated an alkaloid from Yohimbe called Corynantheidine that he believed could be used to treat tuberculosis (TB).

Unfortunately for Metchnikoff and his colleagues, Corynantheidine didn’t work very well for TB patients. A lot of people died from using it because they were allergic to it! So, what did happen with Corynantheidine?

Well, when scientists started looking at Yohimbine HCL (another chemical that comes from Yohimbe) they noticed some interesting effects on their test subjects: increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and faster oxygen uptake!

There are many interesting and unknown facts about Yohimbe supplements that the everyday person does not know about. For example, did you know that Yohimbe supplements are not FDA approved?

This means that they have never been tested by an independent organization to make sure they are safe or effective.

Yohimbine can treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow to the penis. In addition to this,

Yohimbe has been found to increase the release of nitric oxide in the body which causes dilation of blood vessels and thus improves blood circulation.

However, yohimbine may not be safe for everyone as it can cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and headache.

Yohimbe has been used for centuries to treat fever, leprosy, and asthma. (although all of them have not yet been scientifically proven by an independent organization like the FDA)

It’s also been used to treat

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
• Depression

Yohimbe has been used as a treatment for male impotence, angina, anxiety, and depression. It’s also been said to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients.

You may not have known that Yohimbe is a species of tree that grows in West Africa. But you’ve probably heard of the active ingredient in Yohimbe bark extract: yohimbine.

However, Yohimbe has some side effects: it can cause nausea and vomiting; it can increase blood pressure (sometimes dangerously high); it may interact negatively with other medications, and there are some concerns about its safety when taken over long periods of time (which probably means not more than a few days).

Yohimbine has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, which can lead to increased blood pressure and heart rate.

That’s why it should be used with caution by people who have pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes.

It can also interact with other medications you may be taking, causing dangerous side effects or death. For example:

• If you are taking beta-blockers for treating high blood pressure—like propranolol (Inderal)) or metoprolol (Lopressor), yohimbine could cause an increase in your blood pressure that could be life-threatening.

* If you are taking antidepressants such as fluoxetine (Prozac) or sertraline (Zoloft), yohimbine might increase their sedative effects and cause drowsiness.

* If you are taking antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or cimetidine (Tagamet), yohimbine might decrease their effectiveness in protecting against allergic reactions

Yohimbine is an alkaloid, which means it’s a natural substance made by plants or animals.

It’s also considered an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist, vasodilator, and phosphodiesterase inhibitor. All three of these terms mean something slightly different but they all refer to how Yohimbine reacts with your body when you take it.

If you’re taking antidepressants or MAO inhibitors, the FDA warns that Yohimbe supplements should not be consumed because they could cause serious reactions if you mix them with Yohimbe.

In humans, yohimbine causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, as well as a decrease in respiratory rate.

These effects are believed to be caused by stimulation of alpha-2 receptor sites located throughout the body (including the brain).

When ingested along with other drugs that also act at these receptors, such as MAO inhibitors (antidepressants) and certain recreational drugs like amphetamines, stimulants can cause serious adverse side effects ranging from rapid heartbeat to seizures or death.

So maybe you didn’t know these facts, but I sure hope you do now. And if not? Maybe it was just a fun and educational read for you! Either way,

I think Yohimbe is definitely worth checking out. It’s pretty cool stuff — or should I say it has the potential to be.
