Some promise to boost metabolism, while others claim to curb appetite. It&#8217;s no surprise that people are curious about the weight loss benefits of yohimbine. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yohimbine is a substance found in the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree, which is native to central Africa. For centuries, it has been used for a variety of purposes, including as an aphrodisiac and to help treat erectile dysfunction. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More recently, yohimbine has been gaining popularity as a weight loss aid.

Once released, the fat can then be used for energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yohimbine can block the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, which play a role inr storing fat. By blocking these receptors, yohimbine may help to increase the amount of fat that&#8217;s released from your cells (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/10845767\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few studies have looked at the effects of yohimbine on weight loss. The results are mixed\u2014some show a small amount of weight loss, while others show no significant effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study from 1991 looked at the effects of yohimbine on 20 obese women who were all placed on a very low calorie diet. After three weeks, those who took yohimbine lost significantly more weight than those who didn&#8217;t take the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fenugreek-weight-gain\/\">supplement<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/1955308\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Interestingly, they didn\u2019t see any effect of yohimbine on lipolysis in this study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another small study from 2006 involving elite soccer players found that yohimbine supplementation helped to decrease body fat percentage (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17214405\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not all research has shown that yohimbine is effective for weight loss. A 1986 controlled study found that yohimbine had no significant effect on weight loss in overweight or obese adults (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/3795978\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also important to note that most of the research on yohimbine for <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/kalonji-seeds-for-weight-loss\/\">weight loss<\/a> has been done with short-term studies.
