Rauwolscine or Alfa–Yohimbine is an indole alkaloid with stimulant, aphrodisiac and local anaesthetic effects found naturally in plants of the genus Rauwolfia and Pausinystalia, along with several other active alkaloids including Yohimbine. Rauwolscine is a stereoisomer of Yohimbine, that is it is chemically identical, but differs in its 3 dimensional orientation. There are a total of 3 stereoisomers of Yohimbine, the other two are corynanthine and 3-epi-alpha-yohimbine.
It’s mechanisms of action are very similar to yohimbine, as it can act as an Alpha(2)Adrenergic antagonist and thus aid in FAT BURNING (not so much by inducing fat loss, but by alleviating pressures the body exerts to preserve fat mass; it’s like preventing the body from stopping the fat loss, but doesn’t induce it directly).
Rauwolscine shows some promise in being more effective due to higher potency on the same receptor.

Health Benefits of Rauwolscine Extract
Reduce cardiac stress
Doses of rauwolscine reduced the amount of tachycardia caused by electrical stimulation. In other words, rauwolscine has the potential to limit cardiac stress during intense workouts.
Fat burning
Indirectly, Rauwolscine will help with lipolysis (fat-burning) by preventing the work of alpha receptors, which work to turn off the body’s fat burning state.
Enhancing mood
Along with Yohimbine, Rauwolscine is also thought to be a cognitive/mood enhancer. These ingredients have shown to increase serotonin levels, which will provide a nice boost in mood.
Sexual dysfunction
Alpha yohimbine may increase libido, especially when sexual dysfunction is associated with the consumption of an SSRI.
>Orthostatic hypotension
Alpha yohimbine may be used to increase systolic blood pressure and standing diastolic blood pressure in patients with orthostatic hypotension.
Exercise performance
Some patients may use alpha yohimbine to increase exercise performance and build muscle mass.
Erectile dysfunction
Alpha yohimbine may be beneficial to men with psychogenic, organic and mixed erectile dysfunction.
