Can I apply YES on an area that has a cut?

[Fedor]

I know YES has a large dose of Yohimbine hcl, and I get some anxiety if I take too much of it. I have been applying YES on the lovehandles/stomach and then alternating to Chest/upper stomach for b/w 2-5 pumps each application, no more than 8 per day total. That strategy has been working for me as far as tolerance goes.

I have a new issue however - I have a scratch on my lower chest right now that is less than a day old. Should I avoid this area until it is healed? My reasoning is that the scratch may increase the rate at which it enters the blood. I may easily be wrong in that assumption (I hope I am...I need this stuff on my chest!!!).


Also, I noticed that after applying YES, working out 30 mins later for 45 mins, and showering after that workout, I felt a boost of energy after the shower. Does a hot shower increase the uptake of Yohimbine hcl or something of that nature?

unless its an open wound, it should not be an issue. If it is open, applying there will hurt. So you might want to wait a day.

skin heat does increase uptake, which is also why uptake increases during cardio and training. So a hot shower does increase uptake, speeding it and increasing to some extent systemic uptake, but it also removes the remainder in the surface of the skin (though that is usually a small amount after 60 minutes from application time, a very small amount after 90 minutes)
