Yohimbe and Manhood Health
by John Dugan OwnerManhood health could easily be considered a subset of sensual
health; certainly the health of the member is going to play a role in the
functional aspects of manhood health. Many men who experience manhood health
issues involving weak or absent tumescence try various strategies to achieve or
maintain a hardened state. In many cases, men turn to over-the-counter options,
often sold as “supplements” or “natural enhancers.”
Yohimbe
is a supplement believed by some to help address tumescence dysfunction. But
does it actually do this? And if it does, does it do so safely?
Yohimbe
Made
from the bark of an African tree, yohimbe is sold as both an herbal supplement
by itself and as an ingredient in other over-the-counter products. Though it
has long been marketed as a way to overcome tumescence dysfunction, it has in
recent years also been used by bodybuilders seeking to hurry along fat loss.
Yohimbe
has been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years by people in Africa who
believe it has power as an aphrodisiac and tumescence booster. It has a good
reputation for effectiveness among those who promote herbal medicines. But what
about among the standard medical community?
Studies
Several
studies have focused on whether yohimbe is actually effective at improving
manhood health and, in particular, tumescence issues. Although the studies do
not conclusively prove or disprove the thesis, some do indicate there is a
potential benefit in terms of manhood health.
For
example, one study which looked at 82 men with tumescence dysfunction examined
treatment with yohimbe versus treatment with a placebo. Only seven percent of
those taking the placebo reported any improvement. However, in the group taking
yohimbe, 34% reported a small improvement and 20% reported that they were
functioning successfully.
Cons
There
are side effects which may occur after using yohimbe. This is important to
consider because, as an over-the-counter herbal supplement rather than a tablet,
yohimbe is not regulated by the Food and Tablet Administration.
High
blood pressure, anxiety, gastrointestinal problems and an increased heart rate
are among the more commonly reported sided effects associated with yohimbe or
with products containing yohimbe. Kidney injury, seizures and heart
attacks have also been reported, although much less commonly.
The
fact that over-the-counter yohimbe is not regulated by the FDA adds to this
problem. It means that the product may have inaccurate labeling. So, for
example, it may claim to include 10mg of yohimbe in a tablet when it fact it
contains maybe 1mg or even100 mg instead. Or there may be other ingredients
included which are left off the label. It’s also important to realize that many
supplements present yohimbe in a much more highly concentrated form than is
found in nature.
So
should a man with manhood health issues use yohimbe? That is a personal
decision, but he would be well advised to consult with a doctor before doing so
– and to be aware of any potential risks that might be associated with using
it.
Whether
a man uses yohimbe or any other treatment options for his sensual health, he
still needs to pay attention to general male organ health. One way to do so is
to regularly use a top notch male
organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Many men may be
interested in a crème which contains L-arginine. This vital amino acid helps
the body to create nitric oxide, which is key in keeping male member blood
vessels open and receptive to the increased blood flow that sustains a
tumescence. The best crème will also include vitamin A, the antibacterial
properties of which can be very effective at fighting persistent and unwanted
manhood odor.
