Does yohimbe burn fat?
Sources:
Yohimbe has been discussed on the Mind Pump Podcast as having some potential to enhance fat burning, but the effects are not considered significant or reliable for substantial body fat reduction. Specifically, Sal Di Stefano explains that while Yohimbe can stimulate the body to utilize fatty acids somewhat more effectively, these effects are not strong enough to recommend it specifically for fat burning. They note that many stimulants show similar results on paper, but the real-world effectiveness often does not support significant fat loss. The key argument made is that overall calorie management is far more important for weight loss than relying on supplements like Yohimbe 1.
