Yohimbe Bark (8% Yohimbine)

History:

Yohimbe is an evergreen tree, native to the African forests of Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon and the Congo, and it thrives in moist soil with high humidity in high temperatures, rising to a height of one hundred feet with a breadth of fifty feet. It has a reddish-brown bark, leaves and small flowers, and the bark is collected in the wild (the tree is not believed to be cultivated anywhere) for commercial use in herbal therapies. Yohimbe has been used in traditional African medicine as an herbal aphrodisiac, especially focusing on supporting male erectile health, and also cardiac and skin health. Various tribes ingested Yohimbe for sexual support and smoked it for its alleged hallucinogenic properties. Therapeutic use of Yohimbe reached Europe in the 1890s. Most of the pharmacological data collected concerns one of the bark's isolated constituents, the indole alkaloid, yohimbine; and Yohimbe Bark is the original source of the chemical, yohimbine, which has been included in herbal preparations for libido support. The chemical compound has also been found in the South American herb, quebracho. Although Yohimbe Bark is available in the United States, it carries serious health warnings and should be used with great caution. The phytochemicals in Yohimbe Bark include ajmaline, corynantheine, coryanthine, tannins and yohimbine.
