My Yohimbine HCL Pulse Experiment Week 3 - Plateaued






Source: myfitnesspal.com tracking.

So I decided to try something I saw in a Alex Kikel youtube video. Intermittent fasting combined with yohimbine hcl.

I fasted for as long as I could stand it every day and took 2.5 mg of Primaforce Yohimbine HCL every two hours.  The weight loss was drastic but I have no idea how much is water, muscle and fat.

Yohimbine HCL: Yohimbine is an alpha2 receptor antagonist (Kucio, 1991), which means it inhibits the action of the alpha2 receptor. By blocking the alpha2 receptorwith Yohimbine, the negative feedback caused by NE binding to the alpha receptorsis reduced and fatty acid liberation is increased.Jan 7, 2008

Yohimbine - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects ...
https://examine.com/supplements/yohimbine/
Many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list its dose, or its dose ..... Yohimbine is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist (inactivator), ...

Normal protocol:
How to Take


Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details


Dosages of 0.2mg/kg bodyweight have been successfully used to increase fat burning without significant implications on cardiovascular parameters like heart rate and blood pressure. This results in a dosage of:


14 mg for a 150lb person
18 mg for a 200lb person
22 mg for a 250lb person


Supplementation is most effective between meals or during short term fasting.


Caution should be exercised at higher body weight, since the cardiovascular system may not be prepared to handle a stimulatory agent such as yohimbine. When supplementing yohimbine for the first time, always start with a half-dose and assess tolerance before proceeding.


Caution should also be exercised since many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list how much yohimbine is included, or if they do, the actual dose ranges from 25-150% of the dose listed. Since the dosage may be higher than listed, this is extra reason to start with a lower dose.
When pairing yohimbine with other stimulatory agents, half-dose both supplements and work up to the recommended dose cautiously, as two supplements can interact negatively.

Doctor's Best NAC Detox Regulators with Seleno Excell, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Soy Free




From the manufacturer:

NAC supports numerous detox functions NAC's detox value is grounded in its rapid conversion to cysteine that protects the blood and body fluids; the cells' need for cysteine to make glutathione; and direct antitoxin effects by NAC itself. 

Supplies cysteine to make glutathione. Taken by mouth, NAC elevates cysteine in the blood. Cysteine is the predominant antitoxin and antioxidant of the blood and other body fluids. 

Taking NAC is actually a better way to get cysteine than cysteine itself (l-cysteine), which is too unstable to be used in dietary supplements. NAC's acetyl group keeps it stable for its absorption into the blood, then subsequently its acetyl group is removed (mostly by liver enzymes) and the molecule becomes cysteine.

Cysteine may be a conditionally essential nutrient. The diet of some human populations may be relatively deficient in cysteine, and (beginning around the fourth decade of life) glutathione levels decline with age. 

A pioneering cysteine researcher (w. Droge) strongly advocated taking NAC to support healthy aging, suggesting "everybody is likely to experience a cysteine deficiency sooner or later." Sustains the body's glutathione status. 

Glutathione is the most highly concentrated antitoxin and antioxidant within human cells, and adequate glutathione is a must for good health. Glutathione is used to neutralize toxins, whether these originate outside the body or are naturally produced by the body. Healthy cells continually "top up" their glutathione stores by importing cysteine from the blood (not glutathione), then making new glutathione from scratch. 

The supply of cysteine is normally the limiting factor for the cells to make glutathione. Supplementing with NAC therefore helps sustain both cysteine levels in the blood, and glutathione levels inside the cells.
