BulkSupplementscom Yohimbe Extract Powder - Yohimbe Bark Extract - Herbal Supplement, Gluten Free, 450mg per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Typical me I did not read the reviews on thereactions, because I've taken Yohimbe I purchased at the drugstore before in my experience I thought I knew what to expect more or less. This is my review from my initial to the outcome of me taking the supplement. I am 5'9" 185lbs. Upon opening the package I was met with a metallic nasty smelling aroma. LOL The flavor overtook any flavoring I added to take the taste away. I took my supplements at 4 in the morning before I started my workout including Yohimbe. Using the proper dosing on the package I mixed it in water with a little flavoring. About 15 minutes into my initial cardio I had a strange feeling like I was going to be sick. So I decided to head home on the way to the car I begin vomiting violently. I was there for a good ten minutes throwing up unfortunately. When I got home I continued to vomit off and on for good 2 hours, lots of dry heaving. I had heat flashes and cold clammy skin, uncontrollable body shakes. Discontinued for good part of my day, I was unable to get up from my couch without feeling like I was going to pass out, my heart was thumping so hard. By 6 p.m. I was starting to feel more like myself. At this point of my eyes were able to focus so I begin to read about others experiencing the same effects. I reduced my intake drastically please see the attached pictures. Even though it did reduce some of the effects it's still hit me like a freightliner. Also I could barely get past the taste. I'm pretty sure it's because of the vomiting I did the day before, the smell just turned my stomach. I wound up using number 5 gel caps and loading them with the yohombe. I took this on an empty stomach and started to feel the effects about an hour in 15 minutes afterward. I found it this is actually the perfect amount if I want a single dose in the morning and a second in the afternoon. The effects are more manageable, I don't sound like I'm freezing to death when I'm speaking because I'm shaking so much. This review is in no way doubting the Purity the extract, it's quite the opposite this is very potent. I do wish however that Bulk Supplements would change the labeling on the dosage, someone can get hurt.

This stuff is very similar to ephedra. I started out with a 1/64 tsp right before a workout and it gave me a nice energy surge for my morning workout. I'm 217 lb man and felt a difference with 1/20 of the recommended dosage on the package. I mix it with olive oil in a teaspoon. Recently I've increased my dosage to 1/32 tsp and experienced a significant increase in energy and focus. 1/32 is 1/10 the dosage listed on the package. I can't imagine taking 1/3 tsp of this stuff. My measurements were level, not heaping.Be sure to wear a heart rate monitor. My goal heart rate for cardio is 114, and I usually maintain that level with 12 degree incline and 3mph on the treadmill. When taking yohimbe, I maintain 114 with 10 degree incline and 2.5mph.Update 23 Jul 2024: After 5 months on the powder I have steadily increased my dosage and now take 1/8 tsp prior to workout. It helps with focus, and has also helped with losing some fat. If you're reading this and considering trying this product; I rec give it a try, starting with very low dose. It's not expensive and goes a long way. This bag is going to last approx 2 years. With any supplement, it affects everyone differently, but it does seem to have a noticeable effect on everyone that uses it.

I’m 7 hours into a very low dose (110mg) of Bulk Supplements Yohimbe Bark Extract (YBE) that’s finally wearing off and not a minute too soon! I’m an otherwise repeat purchaser of Bulk Supplements products for the past few years and I will continue to purchase those other items from them, BUT NOT THIS ONE! Its unsafe even at very low doses that are well less than half of what its label recommends (250mg). I believe that 250mg dose would have easily killed me and done so within a very scary hour or two!That said, I’m not overly sensitive to non-pharmaceutical stimulants. For example, the caffeine in three full 10 ounce cups of strong coffee consumed within a 30 minute period has zero noticeable effect on me, zero that is unless I’ve had no caffeine for at least the prior 3 days. In fact, that’s why I bought this product—I’m looking for a caffeine substitute. BTW, I’m also in very good health.My specific physical reactions to YBE : my resting heart rate, normally about 55 BPM(beats per minute), shot up to 73; worse, my resting BP(blood pressure), normally 110/74, shot up to 144/90; worst of all my heart was pounding fairly hard if I so much as walked 50 feet, but bear in mind, I was seated or lying down 99.9% of the time throughout this entire 7 hours--I didn't feel I could be active without it forcing my already high physical reaction into dangerously higher levels of BP and heart rate.The reason I started with such a low dose was in order to avoid the dosage warnings by about half of the many other consumer reviewers here. I anticipated that this first dose at 110mg would have zero effect on me--that I wouldn’t feel it at all. Instead, after 30 minutes, I began to notice something. After 50 minutes the full effect kicked in and stayed that way for over 4 hours. It’s now been 7 hours since I took this (just over 6 hours since its full effect started) and its effects have lasted until just the past hour when it finally began to reduce its effects and my BP has now lowered and is 90% of normal; my heart rate is near normal too, and my heart doesn’t pound when I simply walk around a little now.The entire effect & feeling with this extract was simply the concern caused by not knowing if these big physical changes were going to keep increasing or not (I mean, I was sitting still yet I had a sustained physical response like I was constantly very active), but within that first hour after it took effect it seemed clear that its effects weren't going to keep increasing--still it remained an uncomfortable having to endure such increased BP and heart rate--not to mention that YBE also caused me to sweat a little in my hand, and this sweat was physical--no caused by an emotional reaction at all; in other words, the YBE didn't directly (chemically) cause any anxiousness.But, you might ask, were there no other effects at all? No. There was zero increase in energy, no positive change in mood.I’ll never intentionally take this again, but if you try it, assume you're sensitive to it and so be sure to start with a very low dosage that you believe will have zero effect, and then only try a slightly increased dose the next day. Eventually you might find an acceptably low dose for this stuff, but why bother? Walking briskly around the block or on a treadmill will cause the sames changes without this chemical stimulant stressing your body for several hours.And regarding the Viagra-like sexual performance response that some reportedly hope to get from taking this, I didn't notice anything like that, though I wasn't considering that in the first place so I guess I'm not the best judge.If you overdose on this, call for help IMMEDIATELY and see a real medical doctor (solving this problem involves medical chemistry expertise). Do NOT wait to pass out or have a heart attack because then you might only have minutes to live--also, while you wait for help, swallow some quickly digested carbohydrates (ideally table sugar, or less ideally plain bread or plain cooked pasta--don't add anything to them that slows down ingestion much) because carbs for most (not all) people can counteract the increase in neurotransmitters which is at the center of the problem, but you MUST call for help first!
