Extracts from yohimbe have been used in traditional medicine in West Africa as an aphrodisiac and have been marketed in developed countries as dietary supplements.<ref name="int"/>

Bark, the most commercially important productextract contains approximately 6% indole alkaloids, of which 10-15% is used in extractions to make tinctures for traditional medicine and dietary supplementsyohimbine.*Extracts from the bark A 1995 chemical analysis of 26 commercial yohimbe products reported that most commercial yohimbe are used in West Africa as a general tonic and as an aphrodisiac.[2][3][4] Yohimbe bark and extract are widely used in manufactured dietary supplements. The levels of products contained virtually no yohimbine present in yohimbe bark and manufactured supplements are highly variable.*Yohimbine is used in veterinary medicine to reverse sedation in dogs, elk or deer.*Yohimbine is used in veterinary medicine to reverse sedation in dogs, elk or deer.<ref name="chemical composition"/>
