YohimbineComplete info about YohimbineThis a naturally occurring alpha-2 antagonist. Yohimbine promotes sympathetic activity by central as well as peripheral mechanisms, however, in moderately high doses does not usually raise heart rate, increase blood pressure, or induce anxiety. When you take Yohimbine prior to exercise, it boosts lipolysis for the duration of, and following, your workout; pre-exercise administration of yohimbe can also lower the respiratory quotient during and following exercise, thus promoting fat loss. It may also be synergistic with Caffeine. Dan Duchaine postulated that you could inject tiny amounts of the prescription yohimbe into lower body fat stores (where alpha receptors are abundant) to produce localized fat loss. Another more secondary mechanism by which yohimbe can induce lipolysis (still via the adrenergic system) is by increasing peripheral blood flow, which would thus burn more fat. Reference
