Overview

Tongkat Ali, or Eurycoma longifolia, is a tall shrub-tree native to Southeast Asia. It has a long history of traditional use as an aphrodisiac and energy tonic. Modern research has validated its ability to favorably alter the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio, making it a highly sought-after supplement for men looking to boost free testosterone, enhance libido, and improve body composition naturally.

Safety & Considerations

May cause mild insomnia or restlessness if taken too late in the day. Men with prostate cancer should avoid testosterone-boosting supplements.

How It Works

Tongkat Ali contains eurycomanone, which stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and reduces the action of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). By lowering SHBG, it prevents testosterone from being bound and inactivated, increasing 'free' circulating testosterone.
