Hmm what I am reading is saying insulin blunts the fat burning properties so taking before cardio would be ideal. What dose do you guys think? I weigh 215 right about now. I'm thinking of starting 5mgs yo hcl before morning cardio and uppind the dosage to 20mgs over a few days to asses sensitivity. Would it be safe to take if I am doing high intensity cardio?
Dosing
Studies have concluded that the ideal dosing for Yohimbine is .2mg/kg (11) -- this would be 20mg for a 220lb person (0.09 mg/lb of body weight). Studies using smaller dosages have produced less favorable results. At this level, little to no side effects have been reported (Keep in mind, this is with Yohimbine HCl, not the yohimbe herb). Another thing to be considered when using yohimbine is that insulin completely blunts its lipolytic effects, thus it should ideally be used on a low-carb/ketogenic diet, or at the very least, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by moderate aerobic activity for an extended period.
