Product Information: Yohimbine - Yocoral

Product Information
This pharmaceutical extract from the Yohimbe plant was a front line treatment for male impotence before the advent of Viagra®. However, yohimbine has other effects that can enhance the overall male, sexual performance.

Its action increases blood flow to the penis and increases the level of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine by 68% (once described as the body's sex chemical).

Yohimbine has also been shown to increase the availability of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine; and all these factors are involved in the frequency, strength and stamina of penile erection. Furthermore, Yohimbine has been shown to increase the force and the amount of ejaculate enhancing the male orgasm.

Not surprisingly then, yohimbine is clinically effective for over 67% of men who use it.

Doses for impotence are one or two tablets (5mg each) three times daily for 3 to 6 weeks, or for sexual enhancement one or two tablets an hour before sex.

Avoid continuous use or if you suffer from blood pressure problems.
