    What is Tongkat Ali?
    Tongkat ali, otherwise known as Eurycoma longifolia or malaysian ginseng, translates to Ali’s walking stick. It seems to be a promising remedy for boosting testosterone, increasing male fertility, performance, and stress.
    What is Longjack Tongkat Ali?
    It's a medium size slender shrub and it reaches about 10 m or 33 feet. Most of the supplementation comes from the roots of this plant which is reported to be rich in bioactive compounds, which should be the focus, such as the quassinoids, canthin-6-one alkaloids, your β-carboline alkaloids, squalene derivatives, etc.
    Tongkat Ali Review for Testosterone
    You see in both both men and women, testosterone levels peak between about 25 to 30 years of age, then, they start to drop approximately 1-2% every year. And by the time your 60, testosterone levels are typically only about 40-50% of youthful levels and may be even lower due to stress, poor diet and exercise, and your sleep patterns.
    How does tongkat ali work? Tongkat Ali Honest Review.
    When they looked at how tongkat ali could help, you found some laboratory evidence, which showed that eurycoma peptides in tongkat ali, stimulated the release of free testosterone from its binding proteins and improved overall hormone profiles.
    Tongkat Ali Muscle and Tongkat Ali Bodybuilding
    In two other recent studies of young men undergoing a weight-training regimen, tongkat ali at (100 mg/day) improved lean body mass and arm circumference to a significantly greater degree compared to a placebo group. Another study looked at men at an average age of 51,with low testosterone levels, and found that at one month of daily use of tongkat ali extract at 200 mg/day) resulted in a significant improvement in serum testosterone levels and quality-of-life with concluding that the plant doesnt work as a “testosterone booster” like an anabolic steroid would, but rather as a “maintainer of normal testosterone levels, and as a “restorer of normal testosterone levels from low back up to the normal ranges.
    Tongkat Ali fertility
    One of the most famous studies came from a 12 week, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study, that For the first time looked at 109 randomized men, who demonstrated for a freeze-dried water extract of the roots of the physta technology version of tongkat which had a collaboration with MIT, they found significant improvements in libido, sexual performance and satisfaction. The study also found that it had a strong impact on semen volume and sperm motility, which tend to be a problem in men as they age which affects their fertility.
    Tongkat Ali Dosing
    What seems to be the theme that is safe to take is anywhere from the 200 mg to 400 mg a day mark before or after meal continuously to a 4 week mark, then you can cycle with an on and off period.
    Tongkat Ali Side Effects
    1.) Insomnia, especially at higher doses of 400 to 600 mg a day, that could keep you up at night and make it harder to fall asleep.
    2.) Irritability which can lead to aggression and agitation which you find things throughout the day that wouldnt bother you, start to all of a sudden bother you.
    3.) Restlessness, which could be a feeling of not feeling fully rested when you need to be, which can make you more irritated.
    Is tongkat ali safe?
    Because tongkat ali might increase testosterone levels, people at risk or have hormone-sensitive cancers, or a history of heart disease or kidney disease may have an adverse reaction to the supplement. And Based on studies in animals suggesting, we found that it could reduce blood glucose in hyperglycemic animals so the possibility for increasing your blood sugar exists, so it should be used cautiously if your use medicine to lower blood sugar. And also if your pregnant or planning to be or if your nursing, then avoid it because there isnt much data to support its safe to take it if you are, especially for children.

    I had every side effect you mentioned with the bonus of a headache that extended into the base of my skull/upper neck. This was from capsules that combined Tongat Ali and Fadogia Agrestis, so not sure if only one or both were causing the symtoms. What I do know is another SHBG related potion I took, a boron solution, yielded nearly the same results.

      I'll be straight up, I know it's probably not what you feel like doing but, I got run through the wringer while searching for help. I found a private integrative medicine practice near where I live that specializes in hormone optimization. This Dr. used to practice family medicine and during his studies figured out that he could do the most good for people by balancing and optimizing hormones. They essentially make us who we are, change how we think, how we respond to stress and other situations and did I mention they change how we think??? It's crazy. Anyway, I'm commenting because, the side effects seem very real with this supplement. Not saying a low dose wouldn't do some good for you but, there might be better ways to attack the problem. I commented above, it's a bit of a longer read but, you might get some ideas on what to try next. The long and short of my situation is that having a good Dr. hasn't freed me from having to read and study about my body and what is going on but, together the 2 of us have made great progress in 13 years. Slow but, forward. Check out @humangarage on instagram. I am all about this guys' stuff now. He deals with how the body keeps score of our trauma and how to help your body put it behind you. If you deal with PTSD, he may be the best person to help you. It might seem silly or like it won't work but brother, most of us that have finally found someone who tells the truth after being lied to and ripped off until we are ready to give up. Check him out. I wish you well and I hope you find the results you are looking for.

I thought maybe intensive boxing sessions increase prolactin or cortesole n lower my test levels so i started taking 400 mg tongkat ali n after a week i noticed that i feel great in general, i am in good mood, libido is high even after training, focus is better, it seems that my cognitive state is better n now i train every day n i have energy for other parts of my life. Its just incredible. I never used steroids so i dont know what it feels like but i feel like i am charged. No side effects so far.

    I’ve found Tongkat has helped to give me more energy, focus, uplifted mood and stronger libido. I have actually experienced the side effects mentioned. All 3. Insomnia, agitation, restlessness. At first I didn’t realize it was the Tongkat. To combat the insomnia I’ll usually take it earlier in the day. I don’t take it all the time because of the agitation. The restlessness doesn’t seem to bother me too much. I have noticed when I take Tongkat in lower doses then I don’t have the issues I mentioned. Many do the Tongkat formulas seem to be sold in the higher doses though. I’ve found it in some Horny Goat Weed blends at a much lower dose and there is no side effects for me there.

    tongkat ali is one of the most effective natural test booster thou there are minimal side effects upon using in the 1st weeks such as headache and light sleep but i figured out it only happen when im taking it on my rest days when im not doing anything physically challenging in the day and when i dont get to drink enough water for the day normally i would chug a gallon or more but when im on my rest day i would forget to do so since im not moving that much but when i work out i had an abundant boost when it comes to strength improvement i thought it was just the placebo but it was not since im almost i had taken it for about a month now i got my blood work check before and after it was 235 before then after a month i got about 576 free test. so for those who are experiencing such side effects try drinking more water and do light workouts i have an improved recovery from my workouts as well.

      Tongkat Ali is 100% proven to NOT raise testosterone at all! It simply messes with SBHG letting more testosterone move through the body. Free testosterone is bound up Tongkat Ali helps it move more freely. If you take it and think your getting a testosterone booster you are very wrong. I read numerous studies and done pre and post Tongkat Ali which proved the studies correct. My testosterone remained very low(never changed at all) SBHG went down and free testosterone went up a little. Zero extra testosterone

    Just started taking it. Brand name AKARALI premium tongkat ali. I'm 58 yo and had just been through a couple of surgeries, one for my heart arrhythmia and total knee replacement. Can't really say that my heart will benefit from it, and I haven't had any arrhythmia episodes since the surgery, but the knee surgery, however, is the primary reason I decided to take tongkat since before and after surgery I really have gotten out of shape and need something to boost my energy and to help with recuperation and getting back in some degree of shape. I took the maximum recommended dose, which is 400mg, and I don't know if I'll continue that dose, but we'll see if it works out.

      As a person like you that survived and aortic dissection and have arrhythmia issues as well 400mg depending on product might be too much.
      Keep doing the magnesium, then add vitamin D, K2, boron, COQ10 ashwaganda and my personal favorite theanine.
      When I took tongkat I noticed a boost for about two weeks and then really nothing. But I experienced some arythmia and would not recommend it to others with heart issues.

      @C-commerce Yeah, it really isn't a problem because the ablation surgery was for a type of arrhythmia that was easily solvable, an AVNRT, to be exact. I also gave up vaping, and so my heart has really settled into a solid sinus rhythm. I really think tongkat should be used in an on and off cycle anyway, but personally, I didn't experience anything that would be reason to be alarmed.

    I have a quick question.
    Well you know how when you take anabolic steroids, it impairs your body ability to produce testosterone naturally? Well, even though I’m aware that Tongkat Ali is a natural plant rather than a steroid per se, I’m just curious if taking Tongkat Ali would have the same affect? As in, if I were to take it, would it mess up my body’s ability to produce testosterone naturally or does it not work like that?

  • @kristoferkoeblitz6178
    @kristoferkoeblitz6178 Před 2 měsíci

    Thank you for the very helpful and comprehensive analysis! The side effects would just stack on top of what I am already dealing with in those areas. No more sleeplessness, restlessness or irritability needed. haha I was checking up on this because I have been experimenting with aphrodisiacs lately and have had some pretty noticeable successes with Maca Root Powder, combined with Muira Puama & Damiana. The Maca tends to peak at about 30 minutes to an hour after ingesting it. The Muira Puama is a quick release formula so, I take it right before activity begins. I usually take the Damiana with the Maca Root Powder. What I noticed is that my mental arousal is pretty high with this combination. I have also experienced an increase in sexual pleasure; When it feels good, it feels better than usual which has led to longer intercourse times and longer periods of physical arousal. If I orgasm before the peak wears off my orgasms have been a little longer and more satisfying but, it's quite the dance to perform on top of my already cumbersome dance I do for my overall health. As far as helping with ED, I wouldn't say that any of those make it any better with prolonged use but, I do cycle the Maca powder on and off and notice better results with a few weeks on and a week off, or maybe just a few days off. Combine all of that with a 3 or more days of abstinence and you've got a real horse in this race. :D For more information on helping with ED, I have been following a gentleman named Gary Lineham (@humangarage) on instagram. He also has a youtube channel where he shows you how to do fascial maneuvers that help the body get back to better function. He is super knowledgeable and I have just written myself a plan to use his maneuvers to help my own physical performance in many ways. From my own journey that began about 13 years ago I suspect that MOST ED can be traced back to malfunction and disease in the gut, (Liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal glands and more) which all begins with how we live our lives, what we eat, what we drink, where we live, devices we use, how we sleep (SLEEP IS HUGE!!). If you don't sleep enough, minimum 6-7 continuous hours a night, you will feel awful. Eventually, your body can't keep up with the high stress hormones and the body and brain not being able to repair themselves and then you are really in for a treat. Don't lose your health!!! It can feel impossible to get it back and it might actually be! Do more GOOD things for your body every day than you do bad things. It's not what you do some of the time that really matters (unless we are talking about meth, lol! Don't do meth.) It's what you do all of the time. Another thing I have read multiple places is that in terms of things you can put in your mouth or do daily that will help the most, Movement and Minerals are the most important. Move your body for fun and for exercise. Take minerals. Look at RE-Mag & RE-Myte made by Dr. Carolyn Dean. She made a breakthrough with a formula that uses picometer sized particles which just happens to be the size that our cells are ready to accept. It makes absorption much better with lower doses than any other powder, pill or liquid out there. They are game changers. I use Ultima Replenisher to mix into it so it doesn't taste so off-putting. Raspberry & Lemon are the 2 best flavors and I mix them both in 1 liter of water a day. If you are only drinking regular old bottled water, you are likely losing a lot of minerals by the day. Gotta put them back! If you drink caffeine or alcohol you are losing even more! Sorry for the book! I have just suffered for a long time while everyone I sought out for help just made their money off of me. I hope this helps anyone reading.
