Yohimbine HCL

[Logo]

I have a few questions regarding yohimbine hcl. I've discovered that yohimbines fat burning benefits can be canceled out by insulin. This means that it would be very difficult to see any results unless you were on a strict ketogenic diet. Does anyone that knows more about this have any advice? Would it be ok to take yohimbine early in the morning? If so, how much could you take at once without any ill effects? Thanks.

You should be able to bypass this problem somewhat if you take it prior to morning cardio performed on an empty stomach(I have some whey first, although it is fairly insulinogenic.), when your glycogen stores are depleted.

There is also some info on this subject in Par Deus' article on topical yohimbine:

Well my problem is that I have class very early in the morning so I am unable to do cardio first thing in the morning.

I also use yohimbine containing products and what I've begun doing is to cluster my carbs at a few meals, so that I'm generally eating fairly low carb for most of the day and get most of my carbs right after training and in the evening. Of course, this has its own set of drawbacks, but you could try doing something like this.
