Solaray Yohimbe ExtractSolaray Yohimbe is an herb that originates from the bark of a West African evergreen tree. It has been used for centuries by native peoples for its purported medicinal properties. These days, solaray yohimbe extract can be found in many over-the-counter supplements. It is often marketed as a sexual enhancement aid or a weight loss tool, but does it really work? Let's take a closer look. How Does Solaray Yohimbe Work? Solaray yohimbe extract works by inhibiting the alpha2-adrenergic receptor. This, in turn, leads to an increase in norepinephrine and epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) levels in the body. These hormones are responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which can lead to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Solaray yohimbe is sometimes used as a sexual enhancement aid because it can increase blood flow to the genitals. It is also sometimes used as a weight loss tool because of its purported thermogenic effects. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Are There Any Side Effects? Yes, there are potential side effects associated with taking solaray yohimbe extract. These include high blood pressure, increased heart rate, headache, anxiety, dizziness, and nausea. Solaray yohimbe should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women, or by children under the age of 18.
