Yohimbe has become popular as an aphrodisiac for men and women. It is an effective body building supplement as it stimulates the body's natural production of testosterone. It yields yohimbine which in an alkaloid salt form (yohimbine hydrochloride) has been used in prescription formulas to improve sexual performance. HOWEVER, do not use it if there is high blood pressure or heart arrhythmia. NEVER take yohimbe with anything containing the amino acid TYRAMINE including liver, cheese and red wine as well as certain diet aids and decongestants. Do not use Yohimbe if you have high blood pressure or heart arrhythmia.
