INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS YOHIMBINE HCL?
Yohimbine hcl is a synthetic copy of the active and effective alkaloid in yohimbe extract.
WHAT GOOD IS YOHIMBINE HCL?
Well, its main benefit is that it allows for the release of fatty acids from "stubborn" fat.
WHAT IS "STUBBORN" FAT?
Typically, so called strubborn fat is estrogenic in nature- though some people just have high #'s of A2 receptors- the A2 receptor is highly influenced by estrogen- if you are a
women or have estrogenic fat patterns you most likely have large #'s of A2 receptors.
HOW DOES YOHIMBINE WORK?
It binds to the A2 and blocks Norepinephrine(and other A2 agonist INCLUDING ESTROGEN) from binding to and agonizing it (which inhibits the release of fatty acids)- thus it
allows for fatty acids to be "burned" and thus stubborn fat to be lost.
WHERE DOES YOHIMBINE WORK BEST?
Best areas are typically THIGHS, TRICEPS, LOVE HANDLES, GLUTES AND CHEST. Though any area that has soft female fat is likely to have high concentrations of A2 receptors.
METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION
1. Take Yohimbine hcl powder topically if fat loss is your most important goal
2. Oral admin is more stimulatory- a small dose sublingually about 10-15min prior to workout can be very beneficial- much lower doses than topical
3. Out partying or want to get really amped up yohimbine can be snorted- though dont over do it- it will make you feel crappy
LETS GET BACK TO TOPICAL AS FAT LOSS IS THE GOAL OF MOST.
A. Twice daily topical admin will give you the greatest benefits- though smaller more frequent dosing with varied sites may produce better results in some individuals
B. Dosing will vary depending on tolerance, one scoop or 20mg(typically) per dosing is a good place to start though some can tolerate/enjoy much higher doses- you will know
when you take too much as it will not feel good. (headache, tired, just unwell- nothing really bad just annoying)
C. Best sites for application as mentioned above are triceps, "love handles", thighs, glutes, calves, chest- basically any area that has fat accumulation- these areas will vary
from individual to individual- though the above listed are the most common.
TIPS AND TRICKS- CARRIERS AND PENETRATION ENHANCERS
1. apply after hot shower
2. use a body scrub to get rid of dead skin- This should be done 2-3 times a week
3. It may be of some benefit to swab the area with diluted alcohol prior to admin- though this is probably only really beneficial if not applying after a shower.
4. use one or more carriers- depending on the site of application and sex- if you are older or a woman you will need less penetration as well
CARRIERS
a. Organic carriers- aloe vera, while aloe vera gel is effective, the use of pure liquid aloe vera is better and thus reccomended. This carrier also hydrates the skin
b. Menthol either diluted(see oils liste below) or in a cream base like aspercreme(1%menthol) or bengay(16%menthol) (which may itself have some localized effects- aspirin
has been shown to inhibit oxidative phosphoralation) salycilic acid (aspirin is also a penetration enhancer). This category includes peppermint(50% l-menthol),
wintergreen(50-70%) and spearmint oils(50-70%)- all of which are excellent carriers and penetration enhancers- if using oils be sure to dilute about 8 parts water or aloe vera
to 1 part oil.
c. Capsicum- contained in several cream products( the more capiscum the better)- will increase absorption, may have some localized effect on fat burning. This may be to
harsh for some- perhaps best diluted and added to other carriers.
e. Pluronic gel- aka phlogel- should only be used in areas with poor blood flow- as it will dramatically increase uptake. This is difficult to obtain and probably not worth the
effort as similar results can be obtained cheaper and mopre easily.
The best thing to do is to try these different carriers to find the ones that are right for you- the easiest to get are MENTHOL(aspercreme, bengay, peppermint oil-diluted) and
ALOE and perhaps swab the area with alcohol just prior- for most people this is sufficient to get good results. if you have large pockets of fat with little blood flow- ie these
areas are always cold- then using stronger penetration enhancers is advisable. Women, because they have thinner skin, will probably need to use less penetration enhancers.
WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM YOHIMBINE USE?
1. women
2. men with female fat storage patterns
3. men who have bulked heavily while on aromatics test/dbol- which because of the increase in estrogen will increase the number and sensitivity of A2 receptors.
4. men who are very lean and trying to drop those last few "stubborn pounds- typically in thighs, lower back, and love handles.
