yohimbine
caffeine alone

Bad advice. Taking Yohimbine on a regular basis is crazy. Maybe once in a while for libido but that's it.

Caffeine, like Yohmibine, may help you lose weight but the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. Stay away from both

I highly recommended green tea extract and cayenne pepper pills. At the end of the day diet & exercise is the most important thing. the easiest thing you can do starting today is cut out the soda and sugary juices. It makes a HUGE difference

Try these, they are delicious and contain green tea + super fruits. I take them as an appetite suppressant and they do work

Yohimbe has more/worse sides than Yohimbine.

Word. can you explain the difference because I'm really not too clear on it. isn't one derived from the other?

 

[Spliff]

Yohimbe is not just Yohimbine, as explained on the label.

Yohimbine vs. yohimbe

Quite a bit of confusion seems to exist about the difference between Yohimbine and yohimbe. Yohimbine is the principal alkaloid from the herb P. yohimbe. However, there are 31 other yohimbane alkaloids that can be present in herbal yohimbe preparations. Some of these have different and unknown selectivities and potencies (and thus, effects) at the adrenergic receptors (8, 9) -- in addition, these preparations vary greatly from brand to brand and even from batch to batch, as no standardization for extraction exists. In fact, a recent investigation found that most over the counter preparations have little to no actual yohimbine (10). And, even in the more potent preparations, most people find a higher degree of undesirable effects with the herb vs. pure Yohimbine (due to the afore mentioned 31 other yohimbane alkaloids that can be present).

spliff, what are your thoughts on combining yohimbine and ec stack? there's an excerpt in that link you posted from lyle mcdonald that says combining ec and yohimbe can be dangerous but as you stated the yohimbe has more/worse side effects than yohimbine.

4 hrs between is the safest. I've gotten away with 2hrs before continue on with EC for the rest of the day. Start with 4hrs, assess your tolerance from there.

Spliff with the assist

As I said before most of these supps will assist the process but won't correct a bad diet

yeah man, props to you, spliff and krack for the tips/advice. it's crazy how a lot of these supplements (some very expensive, some dangerous, and some a combo of both) can be misused and/or a complete waste of money. big business.

i wanna say 90% of most OTC supps are just glorified caffeine pills

Right now I'm looking into Yohimbine powder over pill form. Exponentially cheaper. Problem is cutting up 1-3grams into 10-20mg is an absolute hassle even with a scale that measures to .001g.

To get around this, some people make a solution. Pour 1g into 100ml of a solution and use a oral syringe to dose. 1ml = 10mg yohimbine in this case. Some have success mixing with distilled water while others are big proponents of ethanol (easily dissolved and absence of microbial bacteria formation). Only thing is insulin makes yohimbine ineffective, and alcohol produces an insulin response. So my question is will 1ml of ethanol produce such an insulin response to negate yohimbine's adrenergic effects? Hopefully not, but I'm searchin for an answer. If it all works out, yohimbine will be replacing EC full time for me lol.
