Extracts from yohimbe have been marketed as dietary supplements for improving sexual function.

Yohimbine is a pre-synaptic alpha 2-adrenergic blocking agent. The exact mechanism for its use in impotence has not been fully elucidated. با این حال, yohimbine may exert its beneficial effect on erectile ability through blockade of central alpha 2-adrenergic receptors producing an increase in sympathetic drive secondary to an increase in norepinephrine release and in firing rate of cells in the brain noradrenergic nuclei. Yohimbine-mediated norepinephrine release at the level of the corporeal tissues may also be involved. علاوه بر این, beneficial effects may involve other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin and cholinergic receptors.
