What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Yohimbine+ Rauwolscine is a 2-ingredient formula. The active ingredients are yohimbine hydrochloride and rauwolscine — both are alkaloids structurally related to each other.

The product also contains inactive ingredients: bovine gelatin (capsule material), magnesium stearate (a lubricant), and rice flour (a filler).

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: fat loss and weight management.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, body composition, lipolysis, metabolic rate.
  • The closest evidence on file: Yohimbe is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rauwolscine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.

The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate rauwolscine for athletic performance, weight loss, or sexual arousal. The data doesn't establish that it works for these uses.

If you're considering this product for any of those purposes, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yohimbe Rauwolscine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rauwolscine is a potent stimulant with limited human safety data and can affect heart rate and blood pressure — use with caution. Although no adverse effects have been reported in oral use so far, a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done.

Because rauwolscine is structurally related to yohimbine, it might theoretically cause similar effects — including anxiety, tremors, dizziness, headache, flushing, seizures, loss of consciousness, and paralysis, though these are rare. There isn't enough safety data to know whether rauwolscine is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

The facts advise against use in both cases. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rauwolscine is a potent stimulant with limited human safety data and multiple theoretical drug interactions — particularly with seizure medications, liver-metabolized drugs, blood thinners, heart medications, and other stimulants. If you take any prescription medications, check them against the interaction tool before starting.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindicated. A conversation with your pharmacist about your specific health and medications is a good first step.

Formula

Allmax Yohimbine + Rauwolscine (Alpha-Yohimbine) are the pure synthetic versions of Pausinystalia Yohimbine and Rauwolfia serpentina; thousands of times more powerful than the original herbal extracts from which they were isolated.

Formulation

Most frequently used for rapid fat loss due to its targeted ability to act on store fat, Yohimbine + Rauwolscine limits fat storage and boosts lipolysis; the release of fatty acids within stored fat. Yohimbine has an extremely high affinity for the Alpha 2-adrenoreceptor (Alpha 2-AR). These receptors (primarily in fat cells) control the rate of release of stored fat. As antagonists, Yohimbine & Rauwolscine lock on to Alpha 2 fat cell receptors. Fat storage is deactivated and rapid release of stored fat in initiated. Rauwolscine (or Alpha-Yohimbine), is an extremely rare variation of Yohimbine with a longer half-life and a more powerful Alpha 2-AR affinity. This means you need less of it to create a greater effect; it lasts longer and is the perfect complement to Yohimbine. Yohimbine + Rauwolscine is one of the most effective and efficient fat loss aids. Widely praised for its unique MOA (mechanism of action), Yohimbine + Rauwolscine is radically different than caffeine.

While caffeine is one of the best fat loss analogs out there, those who are looking to "cycle off" caffeine can use Yohimbine + Rauwolscine to affect fat loss in a completely different way.

Yohimbine Hydrochloride13 drug types · 1,125 drugs

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

Concomitant use of MAOIs with yohimbe can result in additive effects.
Yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe, has MAO inhibitory effects. At high doses, yohimbine is a non-selective inhibitor of MAO.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, yohimbe might reduce the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe, is an alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist and has been reported to increase blood pressure in clinical research. Theoretically, concomitant use of yohimbe and antihypertensive drugs can interfere with blood pressure control.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Clonidine (Catapres)

Theoretically, yohimbe might precipitate clonidine withdrawal.
Chronic clonidine use can downregulate alpha-2 adrenoreceptors. Animal research and one human case report suggest that concomitant administration of yohimbine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist, may precipitate clonidine withdrawal and lead to sympathomimetic toxicity, including hypertensive crisis.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Inhibitors

CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase the levels and adverse effects of yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe.
In vitro and clinical research shows that the yohimbe bark constituent, yohimbine, is metabolized by CYP2D6 isoenzymes. Paroxetine, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 inhibitor, increases the maximum serum concentration of yohimbine and reduces the clearance of yohimbine compared to yohimbine alone in patients who are extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers..

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, yohimbe might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe bark, inhibits CYP2D6 enzyme activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inhibitors

Theoretically, CYP3A4 inhibitors might increase the levels and adverse effects of yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe bark.
In vitro and clinical research shows that the yohimbe bark constituent, yohimbine, is metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes. Theoretically, drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 might increase the levels and adverse effects of yohimbine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Paroxetine (Paxil)

Paroxetine decreases the clearance of yohimbine and may increase its effects.
Paroxetine, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 inhibitor, increases the maximum serum concentration of yohimbine by about 350% and reduces the clearance of yohimbine by about 80% compared to yohimbine alone in patients who are extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers. No significant changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of yohimbine were observed with coadministration of paroxetine in patients who are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Phenothiazines

Theoretically, using yohimbine with phenothiazines might have additive effects.
Yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe, has alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist effects. Theoretically, combining it with phenothiazines can cause additive alpha-2 adrenergic antagonism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Drugs

Theoretically, taking yohimbe with stimulant drugs can have additive effects.
Yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe, has sympathomimetic effects and increases blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner. Theoretically, taking yohimbe with stimulant drugs can have additive stimulant and hypertensive effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tricyclic Antidepressants (Tcas)

Theoretically, taking yohimbe with TCAs can increase adverse effects.
A small clinical study in patients taking TCAs for at least 4 weeks shows that receiving doses of intravenous yohimbine 2.5-20 mg daily for up to 7 days precipitates severe anxiety, agitation, and tremor. The effects of yohimbe bark itself are unclear; oral yohimbe bark contains 0.6% to 1.38% yohimbine, but it is unclear how much is absorbed.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, combining yohimbe bark with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might have additive effects; however, this has not been reported in clinical research.
Research in healthy adults shows that taking yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe bark, in doses of 8 mg or more, seems to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro by binding to the alpha-2 adrenoceptor. The effects of yohimbe bark itself are unclear; yohimbe bark contains 0.6% to 1.38% yohimbine, but it is unclear how much is absorbed.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, yohimbe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that yohimbe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, yohimbe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that yohimbe extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.

In vitro, rauwolscine inhibits calcium influx in aortic smooth muscle cells.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Clonidine (Catapres)

Theoretically, rauwolscine may inhibit the effects of clonidine.
In animal research, rauwolscine antagonized the effects of clonidine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, rauwolscine might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.

Yohimbine+ Rauwolscine by ALLMAX: Common Questions

Does Yohimbine+ Rauwolscine by ALLMAX interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yohimbine+ Rauwolscine has a known interaction with 1,294 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yohimbine+ Rauwolscine contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What does rauwolscine do in this product?
Rauwolscine is a stimulant alkaloid. It's structurally similar to yohimbine. The product is marketed for athletic performance, weight loss, and sexual arousal, but the evidence we hold is insufficient to establish that it actually works for any of those uses.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
No adverse effects have been formally reported in oral use, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed. Because rauwolscine is related to yohimbine, it might theoretically cause anxiety, tremors, dizziness, headache, flushing, or in rare cases more serious effects like seizures or loss of consciousness. It can raise heart rate and blood pressure.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Why can't you check yohimbine hydrochloride for interactions?
We don't hold interaction data for yohimbine hydrochloride — it's not in our current monographs. You should discuss this ingredient with your pharmacist if you're on other medications.
Why are there so many drug interactions listed?
The 676 individual medications affected come from broad drug categories — for example, "CYP2D6 substrates" includes many antidepressants, heart drugs, and ADHD medications. Even if you don't recognize the category name, the checker on this page will tell you if your specific prescription is one of them.
