1.5/5 Very weak evidence

Fat loss evidence brief

Yohimbine / yohimbe

Fat-loss and performance evidence is too limited for recommendation, while stimulant-like safety and product-label risks are material.

Risk outweighs evidence health / endurance / focus 5 linked sources Content audit 2026-05-04

Headline Finding

Limited body-composition data are outweighed by stimulant, blood-pressure, interaction, and label-accuracy concerns.

Dose Context

Clinical yohimbine dosing cannot be assumed from yohimbe bark supplements because alkaloid content varies.

Important Caveat

Blood pressure, anxiety, arrhythmia, seizure, medication, and product-quality concerns are central to the verdict.

How To Read This Rating

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
