Tongkat Ali has the effect of increasing testosterone levels
Tongkat Ali’s ability to boost testosterone was covered extensively by Dr. Andrew Huberman, MIT scientists and medical experts due to growing clinical studies in the last two decades.
Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University is amongst recent US-based scientists that investigated Tongkat Ali’s effect on testosterone alongside MIT scientists who were involved in the early days of Tongkat Ali research and development back in 2003.
In a podcast with Joe Rogan published in 2022, Andrew Huberman suggests taking 400mg Tongkat Ali may boost testosterone up to 200 points. This forms the Huberman Tongkat Ali protocol which incorporates 400mg Tongkat Ali daily intake as a testosterone support supplement, backed by growing clinical evidence and human studies in the last decade.
Tongkat Ali also captured the attention of top urologists and men’s health such as Dr. Rena Malik from USA and Dr. Andrea Militello in Europe as this herb is used widely as a natural testosterone supplement for men and women.

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?
Testosterone Is Vital
Testosterone forms a vital part of our endocrine system and has a profound effect on both men and women.
Low testosterone levels can cause mood disturbances, increased body fat, loss of muscle tone, inadequate erections and poor sexual performance, osteoporosis, difficulty with concentration, memory loss and sleep difficulties.
Whilst the testosterone and DHEA drop as we age, the testosterone deficiency leads to a medical condition known as hypogonadism
Low testosterone levels appear in younger adults due to stress, lifestyle, diet, lack of exercise, and sleep.
As our natural testosterone level fluctuates and drops at different times of the day due to work stress and other conditions, Tongkat Ali supplementation helps to bridge that gap as it provides an added boost of energy by releasing more testosterone in your adrenal glands.
Regulate. Restore. Boost.
Your body needs optimal testosterone levels at all times. Natural food supplements such as Tongkat Ali is used short term and long term to restore vital functions of your body and avoid premature aging symptoms that are hormonal related.

FAQ
USER GUIDE
For optimal testosterone support or if you are diagnosed with androgen deficiency, you may use Tongkat Ali as a dietary supplement between 200mg to 400mg daily an hour before your workout or exercises for a minimum of four to 12 weeks. It is best to reduce sugar intake when taking Tongkat Ali as sugar lowers your total and free testosterone.
A six-month randomized controlled study by Leitao et al showed that combined supplementation of Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma Longifolia) with regular exercise of at least 3 times per week showed the greatest improvement in total testosterone in men with androgen deficiency (ADAM).
For professional athletes who train daily, you may require higher dose of up to 600mg Tongkat Ali extract for at least six weeks to gain optimal testosterone levels. For best results, choose standardized hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract with higher percentage of eurycomanone and eurypeptides, making it a potent natural testosterone booster if you are exercising more than 5 times a day.
For long term testosterone support, Tongkat Ali can be taken daily at 200mg with monthly or weekly OFF/ON cycle. Taking Tongkat Ali with other supplements such as Ashwangdha or Fadogia Agrestis may yield better testosterone gains although it may not be necessary to the downside risks of side effects and liver injuries.
While generally Tongkat Ali is an effective natural supplement for restoring total testosterone, sex hormones or used as an alternative remedy to TRT for general health support, actual performance may vary based on your existing medical conditions, your daily diet and the type of Tongkat Ali extract that you consume.
Existing clinical trials and studies to date showed that standardized hot water Tongkat Ali root extract with eurycomanone level of more than 0.8% may work effectively if you are diagnosed with hypogonadism or males with androgen deficiency. This may be true for an average adult weighing 70kg with a decent health condition, and taking pure Tongkat Ali root extract may increase your total testosterone between 10% to even 500% when you incorporate exercises, sufficient sleep and a good healthy diet.
If you are obese, diagnosed with high cholesterol levels, or high blood sugar (diabetic), choosing a more potent (or quality) Tongkat Ali supplement formulated using standardized hot-water root extract may deliver higher testosterone gains due to higher bioavailability and absorption rate. The effectiveness of Tongkat Ali as a natural testosterone supplement to boost weight loss increases if you opt for sugar-free diet with sufficient rest and exercises. This delivers compounded effects to a more efficient production of testosterone in your pituitary and adrenal glands.
However, experts believe that using ethanol-based Tongkat Ali non-standardized extract are far less effective (lower efficacy), unsafe for long term use and may not deliver consistent testosterone gains across various age groups, especially those who are diagnosed with pre-medical conditions. Users are cautioned that mixing Tongkat Ali with Fadogia Agrestis to boost testosterone may be effective or safe.
Using non-standardized Tongkat Ali extract that are not purity tested (i.e eurycomanone content of less than 1.5%) may not achieve any meaningful or measurable testosterone improvements. Researchers from Nova Southeastern University, Davie, Florida conducted a randomized controlled study on highly-exercised men and women, and results did not show free testosterone gains when subjected to 400mg of Tongkat Ali daily for four weeks.
The best Tongkat Ali supplement for testosterone support are standardized and 3rd party lab tested for toxicity, impurities and adulterants by reputable organizations such as EUROFINS. Avoid buying non-clinically tested Tongkat Ali supplement or 200:1 non-standardized extract which are not derived from Tongkat Ali roots as it may not have the level of potency to deliver any measurable testosterone gains. Most testosterone studies are based on standardized hot water Tongkat Ali extract, which delivers higher bioavailability (potency), consistency and efficacy.
There is no official recommended dosage but generally, Tongkat Ali dosing for testosterone support are clinically tested on 100mg, 200mg and 400mg daily for healthy adults weighing 70kg. In other words, you may take up to 600mg if you are active, or exercise regularly. Please observe the maximum toxicity limit of 1,000mg and you should not take high dose of Tongkat Ali although recommended by other brands. Kindly consult your physician or medical professional for an appropriate daily dose before consuming Tongkat Ali supplements.
Using Tongkat Ali as a natural testosterone supplement may cause side effects when taken in high doses of more than 600mg or if the extract contains impurities such as excessive fillers (eg: maltodextrin) or adulterants (eg: synthetic steroids, tadalafil, etc). High temperature ethanol-based extract may also cause severe irritations or allergies due to unknown bioactive compounds from Tongkat Ali. Taking adulterated Tongkat Ali supplement may cause side effects such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea or frequent headaches and you may not exhibit any changes on your testosterone levels.
Generally, most 3rd party lab-tested Tongkat Ali supplements using standardized hot water extract do not cause any severe side effects or liver injuries when taken at low dosages below 600mg daily.
