[edit] Comment 1

I have used Yohimbe for about 15 years. It enhances sexual appetite. I cannot comment on the benefits of Yohimbe on erectile dysfunction. I once had a doctor prescribe Yohimbe in lieu of the over-the-counter variety, but that was not effective for me. I returned to Yohimbe by Herb Pharma at WFM. I agree Yohimbe may increase my heart rate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.118.122 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Comment 2

Why is "Yohimbine" used as a proper noun (capital 'Y') in this article? As far as I can tell, it's not a product name and should be lowercase. -- Mikeblas 18:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

True. Fixed.

[edit] Comment 3

I would like to see a citation for "fact that it has been a proven weight loss and body fat reduction agent "

[edit] Comment 4

What is this? Broken link, and no citation?

Uses for sports supplement research suggests that, although not officially studied, yohimbine can be used for severe lipid reduction, if used as directed —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.132.11.116 (talk) 06:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] A comment from a user

I was surprised to read that yohimbine is an "...unproven, treatment for erectile dysfunction.". As a user I can confirm it works. OK I'm a sample of one! It is also inexpensive and available over the counter in France where I buy it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.57.227.118 (talk)

[edit] MAO Inhibitor

I was told that yohimbine was a mild MAO inhibitor, if this is true it aught to be in the page as a health warning.

What type of MAO inhibitor is important. It would determine an appropriate warning. But I haven't seen much solid evidence of this. Only a lot of speculation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.107.230.145 (talk) 21:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
