Tongkat Ali: The Proposed Benefits

Eurycoma longifolia, or Tongkat Ali, is a flowering plant found in Southeast Asia (primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia). Bioactive compounds including quassinoids, alkaloids, and triterpene are located in the roots of the tree and have been used for centuries in the countries of its origin.

Primarily known as an aphrodisiac, Tongkat Ali is most associated with producing heightened levels of testosterone and free testosterone. Possible health benefits include;

Increased libido and sex drive,
Improved sperm count and motility,
Increased lean muscle growth,
Faster fat loss,
Reduced anxiety and stress,
Improved athletic stamina,
Reduced erectile dysfunction,
Increased cognitive function,
Defense against cancer and malaria,
Anti-ageing for the skin.

Despite its traditional use in Asian cultures, the herb extract only made its way to the Western world around the turn of the century and has since seen a rapid increase in popularity.

Tongkat Ali Proof From People Who Have Used It

Pigmie

Pigmie, a popular YouTuber with over 3.15 million subscribers, underwent a 30-day trial of Tongkat Ali supplements. His test focused on;

Consuming a 400mg full root extract tablet.
Taken for six days a week throughout the 30-day course.
Consumed before a meal.

The fitness influencer, who is in his early 30s, expressed a belief that it generated an energy boost within three hours of taking the first tablet. By day five, he felt a significant increase in cognitive performance and general feelings of being himself – cited as one of the chief reasons he started the process.

While an increased sense of well-being, focus, and stable energy were the first things noted, he also felt that verbal communication had improved in clarity. He also experienced enhanced listening.

The second week of the cycle is when Pigmie felt an increase in energy levels, with the biggest change coming courtesy of an ability to hold intensity for longer. He also noted that the energy increase felt stable rather than “jittery” as often experienced with caffeine and other stimulants. He also noted that post-workout soreness significantly decreased.

Having felt improvements early on, week three is when the influencer started to see noticeable changes in his physique and body composition. Notably, he felt leaner and more muscular while stubborn body fat shredded off him. While already in good shape before, the supplement supported the development of a more athletic body image.

Rather than citing it as a magic fat loss pill, the influencer believes that the increased energy and feelings of wellness facilitated increased exercise and caloric output without consuming more calories.

Don Verb

Aged 41, American Don Verb completed a six-week trial of taking daily Tongkat Ali supplements from AKARALI. The 200mg tablets were taken in conjunction with moderate weight training. The before and after results are impressive.

The six-week trial was incorporated into a larger fitness plan that lasted six months. During this time, he lost a total of over 60 lbs. While this occurred over the whole process, he noted that fat was lost more quickly when taking the daily supplement.

As well as shredding fat at a rapid pace, Verb grew lean muscle – making the 60lb total loss even more impressive – all over his body, including in previous areas. He recalled a muscular bump in the calves and biceps while the muscle growth also translated to better workouts. Measurable improvements in weight loads and total reps were combined with increased positivity.

Noticeable changes in fat percentage and lean muscle also resulted in facial shape changes including increased jawline definition. In addition to improvements to his appearance, Verb also noted;

Healthy sleep habits,
Improvements to his mood,
Faster facial hair growth – linked to testosterone,
Increased energy throughout the day,
Improvements in physical fitness,
Better recovery times.

The Nootropic Reviewer

Another popular influencer who specializes in medicinal substances that impact cognitive function and brain power is The Nootropic Reviewer. His review came after around two months of taking Tongkat Ali each morning in a 200mg powder form.

The biggest change noted was to his cognitive function and testosterone levels. He felt that he could continue to perform with a little less sleep (6 or 6.5 hours per night) with his increased energy levels being sustained even when eating fewer calories.

His heightened testosterone levels were also noticeable in the gym and other areas of life, such as sexual drive, although not backed up by measurements. The Nootropic Reviewer advocated the natural aspects while stating it boosted energy, mental sharpness, and hormonal balance far beyond his expectations.

He did also note that taking it without calories left him feeling irritable, thus advising others to take it with a meal.
