How Does Yohimbine HCl Work?
Let’s try and make this as simple as possible! Basically Yohimbine works mainly by blocking alpha adrenoreceptors (I know that doesn’t sound simple but stick with me!). Norepinephrine (NE) is one of the bodies primary lipolytic (fat burning) hormones. One of the times NE is released is after periods of stress or after taking sypathomimetics, for example, Ephedrine. Now, our bodies can sometimes prevent the release of NE through a number of feedback mechanisms – When NE is released it stimulates BOTH the alpha and beta adrenoreceptors. The stimulation of beta causes fat to break down where as stimulating the alpha will prevent the release of norepinephrine (NE) and thus, prevent fat loss. Hence why Yohimbine is used to BLOCK the alpha receptors and prevent this feedback mechanism from taking place, increasing the potential for fat loss. Phew! Sounds good so far but there are even more benefits to be had by blocking alpha receptors with Yohimbine. “Stubborn” fatty areas (usually the abdo
