1. What’s the Yohimbine Recommended Dosage
The recommended serving size for Yohimbine HCl is around 4 – 8 mg, taken once to two times daily. The serving size depends on your weight and the desired strength of effects. Yohimbine HCl is a very strong aphrodisiac supplement with powerful effects.
You really don’t need much to feel the benefits, which increase the longer that you take it.
In fact, we recommend starting with a serving of only 2 mg to assess how your body responds. It may be beneficial to use Yohimbine for around two to three weeks before experiencing positive results.

IMPORTANT: It is possible to overdose on Yohimbine. Overdose can cause loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, and death.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED SERVING SIZE.
DO NOT TAKE YOHIMBINE IF YOU ARE USING ANY MEDICATION.
2. When to Take Yohimbine?
Yohimbine HCl may increase your catecholamines – epinephrine and norepinephrine. These promote wakefulness and alertness.
[2] This is why we recommend that the best time to take Yohimbine is at least a few hours before you plan on going to sleep. The best times to take Yohimbine would be in the morning and early afternoon.
3. How Long Does Yohimbine Last?
Yohimbine HCl has a very short half-life of only around 1 – 1.5 hours. This means that after around 3 hours its effects should have worn off entirely. The length of the effects depends on your metabolism and what you have in your stomach.
[3] It is recommended to take Yohimbine on an empty stomach to allow for better absorption and so that the effects last longer.
4. Is Yohimbine HCl Safe?

Yohimbine HCl is considered safe when consumed by itself and at the recommended serving size.
[4] However, Yohimbine is very powerful and may interact with a number of medications and other herbal supplements. Do not use Yohimbine with other medication unless prescribed by your doctor.
Yohimbine may also have negative effects when used at higher-than-normal servings. Do not exceed the recommended serving size for Yohimbine HCl. Some potential side effects include itching, high blood pressure, restlessness, and headaches. Side effects are rare at the recommended serving size.

5. What to Take Yohimbine with?
Yohimbine is a potent aphrodisiac and vitality booster! The best way to benefit from its effects is to take Yohimbine HCl on its own, on an empty stomach. Yohimbine may interact with a number of medicines and we definitely do not recommend taking it if you are using medication. At least one study has pointed to a synergistic relationship between Yohimbine HCl and L-Arginine, a common amino acid.
