Before there was Viagra, Cialis,
and Levitra, there was Yocon, Yohimex, and Aphrodyne. Yocon, Yohimex,
and Aphrodyne are available by prescription. They are derived from
Yohimbe, which comes from the inner bark of the African evergreen tree
(Pausinystalia yohimbe).
Yohimbe (Yohimbine), Viagra,
Cialis, and Levitra are the only four substances that have ever been
approved by the FDA for the treatment of impotence. The difference
between these sexual dysfunction prescription drugs is that Yohimbe is
a natural herb available to everyone and costing much less than the
prescription drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
A combined analysis of more than a dozen
studies involving hundreds of
subjects, published in the Journal Archives of Sexual Behavior in
August 1996, concluded that
yohimbine can help many men who have problems getting an erection.
It appears to work by increasing blood flow to the penis, and may affect
brain chemistry as well.
A recent clinical study in Rhode Island (published in the Journal of
Urology) tested the active ingredient in yohimbe on a group of men who
had experienced chronic sexual dysfunction. For those who had been
impotent for less than two years the improvement rate was an astounding
81% as a direct result of consuming a moderate dosage over a period of
one month.
