I took 1 waited for 1 hour and didn’t notice a big difference so I took 2 more. HOLY CRAP was that a mistake. I’ll tell you first hand from my own experience, ALL of the stuff listed in this article is true, especially the results from human studies.

I took the 1st pill at 8:45pm and the others at around 9:50pm.
It supported erections, induced a strong hunger, caused EXTREME hypersalivation, hyperactivity/increased locomotion, anxiety, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.

Before going to the Emergency Room, I was at my house standing and walking in circles while making involuntary shivering sounds and movements even though I was not cold.
I ate an entire meal in about 5-6 minutes at 11:30pm and was still hungry (I had just had a reasonable sized dinner about 4 hours earlier).
Then I was standing in place and litterally had to wipe away drool to prevent it from going down my chin because of how much saliva I was producing.

After about 2 hours from the last pill my pulse was over 170 and my BP was about 180/110.
After about 3 hours from my last pill my HR was 150 and BP was 160/95. Went to the ER and got IV fluids to help flush my system.
6 hours after my last pill I felt completely normal.

Moral of the study, be careful with some supplements.

I looked into this further on the way to the hospital and there are actually around 2 deaths, and 6 inpatient short-term hospitalizations, associated with VERY VERY large doses of YoHIMBINE HCL. Like 2000mg of YoHIMBINE (not Yohimbe).
IT seems that adverse sid effects occur in general around the 20-24mg of YOHIMBINE HCL (extract / active component).

I used the studies they referred to that looked at the accuracy of what was in Yohimbine supplements. I was able to find the specific brand and type used in some of that study.
All you have to do is copy the descriptions the have in the document of each specific bottle they studied.
So the one with the highest level of Yohimbine has 12.1mg and is labeled to have 9mg.
So you search “Yohimbe bark extract (Pausinystalia yohimbe) (2% yohimbe alkaloid = 9mg)” and you find:
GNC Yohimbine 451

The other GNC Yohimbe in the green bottle is NOT NEARLY as effective or strong.

Wish there was one pill that fixes all.

However, be sure you are using yohimbine and not yohimbe. Reasons is that I had not realized this difference in the various products I was purchasing and I found out the hard way . Yohimbine can be sold at up to 2% at health food stores legally or you may ask your doctor and it can or is I believe prescribed at 8% yohimbine. I personally love yohimbine for helping me with depression and yes social anxiety. The form yohimbe is much cheaper but the alcoloids can include other stimulate ingredients and the active ingredient the yohimbine is not standardized leaving the user at risk of an uncertain but generally unpleasant overstimulation similar to to much coffee only worse and can last a rather long time up to 10 or more hours. So please just use Yohimbine 2percent and you should be safe . As always consult your medical doctor before taking any new supplements.
