Evidence verdict

Limited evidence for the stated context. Evidence for fat loss is weak, and adverse cardiovascular and psychiatric effects make bark-extract self-dosing unreliable.

Main benefits

  • Systematic reviews of older trials suggest a possible erectile-function benefit.
  • Evidence for fat loss is weak, and adverse cardiovascular and psychiatric effects make bark-extract self-dosing unreliable.

Studied protocols

Research doses are grouped by outcome. They describe study designs—not a personal prescription.

Erectile-dysfunction research

5–20 mg/day yohimbine in older clinical studies; no routine fat-loss dose

Low confidence
Study duration
Commonly 4–12 weeks; protocol and outcome vary
Interpretation
Evidence for fat loss is weak, and adverse cardiovascular and psychiatric effects make bark-extract self-dosing unreliable.

Clinical or experimental context—professional guidance is especially appropriate.

04Food sources & equivalents
Food sources & equivalents

Can food provide a studied amount?

No direct food equivalent
Comparison target5–20 mg/day yohimbine in older clinical studies; no routine fat-loss dose

Yohimbine in this supplemental form does not have a reliable one-to-one food equivalent.

No direct food equivalent; yohimbine is an alkaloid from Pausinystalia johimbeFood amount varies

Dietary exposure; verify composition before comparing with a studied supplement dose

How this was estimated
Dose Radar compares the declared active ingredient with official composition data or the studied standardized extract—not with marketing names.
Important limitation
Natural content, preparation, bioavailability and formulation vary. This comparison does not prove equal physiological effect.

Food equivalents compare ingredient mass using published composition values. They do not prove equal absorption, formulation, physiological effect, safety or personal need.

05How to take it for absorption & tolerance
Meal relationship

Empty stomach optional

Evidence-informed
Empty stomach optional; formulation and tolerance remain part of the comparison.

Fasting may change absorption or speed of onset, but tolerance and the studied formulation take priority.

Practical approach
Clinical context only; stimulant effects can persist for hours. Keep the formulation and daily total consistent with the evidence context shown above.
Watch for
Stimulants

Meal guidance reflects human pharmacokinetic, clinical, official-label or evidence-review sources where available. A food pairing can change absorption or tolerability, but does not make a supplement necessary, effective or safe for every person.

06Supplement interaction check
Library interaction context156 ingredients · 0 mapped signals for this guide

An unlisted pair means no established pair-specific interaction was identified in this review—not proof that every dose, product or person is safe.

No pair-specific signal listedNo established interaction with another Dose Radar ingredient was identified in this review.

This is not proof that every dose, product or user context is safe. Medication and condition checks still apply.

07Research notes
Evidence verdict

Limited evidence for the stated context. Evidence for fat loss is weak, and adverse cardiovascular and psychiatric effects make bark-extract self-dosing unreliable.

The displayed amount comes from human research or an official evidence summary. It is not a personalized prescription, and formulation can change whether the comparison is valid.

TimingClinical context only; stimulant effects can persist for hours
