FAQ
- What Is Yohimbine and Why Is It Important?
Yohimbine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the bark of the yohimbe tree (Pausinystalia johimbe). It is considered the primary bioactive compound in yohimbe and is commonly used as a marker of quality and potency in standardized yohimbe extracts. - How Does Yohimbine Work in the Body?
Research suggests that yohimbine interacts with alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, which are involved in nervous system signaling. Through these interactions, yohimbine influences pathways related to neurotransmitter activity and physiological arousal, making it one of the most extensively studied compounds found in yohimbe bark. - What Is the Difference Between Yohimbe Bark and Yohimbine?
Yohimbe bark is the whole botanical material derived from the Pausinystalia johimbe tree and contains a variety of naturally occurring compounds. Yohimbine is one specific alkaloid found within the bark and is considered its primary bioactive constituent. Standardized yohimbe extracts are often measured by their yohimbine content to help ensure consistent potency. - Who Should Not Take Yohimbe Supplements?
Because yohimbe contains naturally occurring alkaloids that affect the nervous system and cardiovascular function, it may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals who are pregnant or nursing, have certain medical conditions, or take prescription medications should consult a healthcare professional before using yohimbe. As with any supplement, it should be used only as directed. - What Makes Swanson Yohimbe Standardized Different From Other Yohimbe Supplements?
Swanson Yohimbe Standardized delivers 500 mg of yohimbe bark extract standardized to provide 2% yohimbine, the primary bioactive alkaloid found in Pausinystalia yohimbe. By standardizing the extract for yohimbine content, the formula provides consistent potency from serving to serving rather than relying on the naturally variable alkaloid content found in non-standardized yohimbe products. - Is Swanson Standardized Yohimbe Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Standardized Yohimbe is non-GMO. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the capsules contain gelatin, and it is not gluten free.
