Is there a difference in Yohimbe?

[kscowboy]

I am trying to find some Yohimbe to incorporate into my ECA stack and make it an ECAY stack. But when i went to my local vitamin shop, there are 3 or 4 different kinds of Yohimbe. Yohimbe bark extract, yohimbe bark extract psyslum (Might not be spelled right), yohimbe HCL etc......

So is there a difference in which type i incorporate into my fat burner stack? Thanks KS

You want Yohimbine HCL. It's the purest form and the one that is most commonly used for fat loss.

Agreed. Second strongest will be the bark extract.

Definitely buy the yohimbine HCL. It's the pure chemical form and is the most powerful. Most vitamin shops in my region carry the Primaforce brand. I've had good luck with it. About 12 bucks for 90 2.5mg caps.

Yeah i noticed last night that my vitamin shop had the primaforce brand. I just wasnt sure what form to get. SO now i will go back and get the HCL. Thanks a ton fellas.

For those that incorporate yohimbe in their stacks, how much do you take? I am going to put it in with 25mg of ephedrine, 200 mg of caffeine, and one asprin. Thanks a ton fellas.

I would be interested in any feedback as well. I just bought some of TP's Yohimbe HCL @ 2.5 mg per cap. I have read you should start low with your dosage and work up to a max of 10 mg 2 x a day? And you can get hi-anxiety if you over do it?

 

[kscowboy]

Yeah i have head of some guys making it an ECY stack instead of an ECA stack and having really good results!!!

I'd say start by adding 2.5mg to your stack. Too much can cause anxiety, but also tends to make me hot and my skin red. Can cause quite a rapid heartbeat too. You can definitely feel it working. I found the best dosage for me to be 5mg taken twice per day, with 25mg ephedrine/200mg caffeine/81mg aspirin.

Thats what i wanted to hear. Thanks a ton.

Yes, the range between an effective dose and dangerous dose is very narrow.

You do NOT want to take yohimbine with ephedrine, as it will give nasty side-effects - you will feel like your heart is going to jump out of your chest. Separate them by 2hrs and you should be fine.

I don't recommend yohimbine prior to intervals or weight training either for that reason.

0.2mg pr kg BW is the optimal dosage from research, which is 20mg for a 220lbs bodybuilder - but ramp up to this dosage slowly to assess tolerance. So start at 5mg, then 10mg etc.

Take it with 100-200mg caffeine on an empty stomach and do LISS cardio.

Take the EC stack for the rest of the day.

So far I am finding that 5 mg makes me feel kinda hot so I'm thinking for me, that dose is plenty. No more than 2 times a day too.

 

[db006]

yea def start low. 2.5mgs at a time. that shit makes me crazy. i cant tolerate it anymore. ive used 10mgs x 4 a day in the past. now i cant even handle 5mgs twice a day.

 

[kscowboy]

Are you guys taking it alone or with ECA?

 

[Flex2019]

Personally I always take it with my ECA, even preworkout. As long as you don't overdue the dose, it can give a nice boost and help with focus.

Yohimbine HCL dont take too much... On a side note I think although topically you get systematic effect it gives local one as well.

If I do ECA I usually use topical Yohimbine HCL formul for local and systematic effects.

Where do you find a topical yohimbine HCL preparation? Do you find that it really has noticeable local effects?

I have ramped up to 15-20 mg of Yohimbine pre morning cardio. Lyle McDonald has a ton of great yohimbine info you might want to consider looking into. Also, research studies show that yohimbine is just about worthless in the presence of insulin, so taking it at times when carbs aren't being utilized is optimal. I would second Blade's suggestion to stay away from Yohimbine and ephedrine at the same time. I like Yohimbine pre-cardio and ECA throughout the day as needed (I take ECA x 2). Definitely start slow, I know guys who freak out at 5mg and others who can take 20mg no problem.
