Herb Pharm Yohimbe
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should not assume that a yohimbe product provides calcium. Our assessment is based on the ingredient listed for this specific product, which is yohimbe, not calcium. The data on calcium from NIH ODS is provided for general reference and does not apply to this yohimbe product. Data not available for the specific benefits of this yohimbe product.
How it works
For calcium, the mechanism involves bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps deposit minerals into your bone structure and supports proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. However, this mechanism is not relevant to the yohimbe product you are asking about. Data not available for the mechanism of yohimbe.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. These side effects apply to calcium, not to the yohimbe product you are asking about. Data not available for yohimbe-specific side effects or report counts.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not include any information on yohimbe's benefits, risks, or interactions, we cannot make a recommendation for this product. For calcium, the data suggests it can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially one with no available safety data.
