Yohimbe Plant Extract 4%

Manufacturing

• Collect the bark of the Yohimbe tree (Pausinystalia Yohimbe) from its native regions in West Africa.
• Thoroughly clean the collected bark to remove impurities and dirt. Subsequently, allow it to dry to reduce moisture content.
• Grind the dried Yohimbe bark into a fine powder. 
• Utilize a suitable solvent, often ethanol, to perform solvent extraction on the powdered Yohimbe bark. This process helps dissolve and extract the bioactive compound, yohimbine.
• Concentrate the extracted solution to achieve the desired 4% concentration of Yohimbe Plant Extract - 4%, with the active compound yohimbine as the targeted component.
• Filter the concentrated solution to remove any solid particles or impurities, ensuring a clean and pure extract.
• Rigorous quality control tests like HPLC are conducted to verify the potency and purity of the Yohimbe Plant Extract - 4%. 
• Optionally, standardize the extract to ensure consistency in the concentration of the active compound across different batches.

Applications
