: Precription Yohimbine is 5.4mg. Most over the counter yhombie bark doesn't give strength except for Twinlabs. It says standardized for 8mg yohimbine. Does this mean it is stronger that precription.
I am not really sure on this one. It would appear so. Twinlabs is one of the better supplement companies, and standardized herbs do have a potency guarantee. I have quite a few bottles of the Yohimbe Fuel by Twin
that I will use this spring for my dieting. Some of my clients have or are using yohimbe. They ususally get a buzz or red in the face when they take the prescription and Twinlab's yohimbe. I just can't rationalize
using the prescription yohimbine because of the price. If the OTC yohimbe is just as good, I see no reason to import or beg for a prescription from a physician.
I can't say for sure that one is stronger than the other, but my money went to Twinlabs.
