Yohimbe Review

What You Should Know

Yohimbe, the natural form of Yohimbine, is a chemical commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction, but recently has been used as a dietary supplement for bodybuilders, due to one study stating that the use of Yohimbe resulted in a lower fat body index. Currently it is not approved or even recognized as a viable dietary supplement, but this does not stop its sales on popular bodybuilding websites, and its use is prevalent among bodybuilders and dieters. It is typically sold in its synthetic form, however, Yohimbine. Its simple to ingest and widely available, but is often not recommended for use other than to treat erectile dysfunction, due to the risk of overdose (40mg of Yohimbe qualifies as an overdose) and numerous side effects, including worsening anxiety conditions, raising blood pressure, and rapid heart rate.

Yohimbe is currently not considered a sufficient weight loss supplement, but the buzz surrounding it is becoming increasingly stronger, and evidence supporting its weight loss claims appear to be growing at a faster rate. This may prevent more problems than solutions, however. Find out why.

Product Features

Yohimbe is perpetuated as a fat-burning supplement due to one study conducted by The Institute of Sports Medicine in Belgrade, Serbia, which states that soccer players that took yohimbine supplements for one month noticed a substantial decrease in body fat as compared to the placebo group. No other effects were noted. It is important to note the sample group was very small — this was only tested on 20 participants — and typical studies include more participants to provide more accurate results. Nevertheless, it is compelling evidence that may require further testing. There have been other studies conducted on these findings which do not provide the same results, but this does not stop many bodybuilders from considering this a potent fat-burning aid. No group has approved Yohimbe for this use, however, and Germany has currently banned the substance because it may pose a health risk. This is mainly due to how easily dieters can overdose on the substance. Side effects of Yohimbe include high blood pressure, worsening of anxiety symptoms, and insomnia, and severe cases, where overdose was suspected, side effects included seizures and kidney failure. Therefore, Yohimbe is generally not recommended for use by anyone suffering from any liver, kidney, anxiety, and heart-related issues.

Advantages

  • One study demonstrated a significant decrease in body fat, when combined with diet and exercise.
  • Is a popular supplement that can be found cheaply online.

Disadvantages

  • Is a severe risk to those suffering from anxiety, heart, liver, or kidney-related illnesses.
  • It is very easy to overdose on this supplement.
  • Is banned by Germany because of the inherit danger associated with it.

Conclusion

Early studies demonstrate fat loss among participants, but further testing — and more analysis into its side effects — is needed to confirm any weight-loss benefits for dieters. The dangers it poses to the heart, liver, and kidneys is another issue that is causing physicians to not recommend this to patients. We certainly do not advise dieters to try supplements that pose so many health risks, but there are some benefits to this supplement you won’t find in many other supplements.

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
