Quality Control

Our Yohimbe Extract is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and standardized alkaloid content, typically yohimbine. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing specifications such as assay, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological limits to ensure compliance with relevant guidelines for botanical ingredients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling.
