Tongkat Ali - The Best Natural Testosterone Booster
Tongkat Ali (also sometimes known as Longjack) is extracted from the roots of the Eurycoma Longifolia tree and works mainly by increasing testosterone levels. It is widely used in the bodybuilding community because increased testosterone levels in the body result in anabolic metabolism, promoting muscle gain, increased strength and fat burning. It also increases energy production in the body by increasing ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), an energy-rich chemical that is responsible for nearly all the energy production in the body. During times of physical effort we can use up our ATP faster than we can replace it and we become fatigued. By increasing ATP production, Tongkat Ali raises energy levels, reduces fatigue and heightens mental alertness.
A recent human study of the effects of Tongkat Ali found that it increased High Density Lipoproteins, which are necessary for healthy arteries. HDLs can help stop the build up of plaque in the arterial walls and lower the risk of heart attack. The same study reported that there was an increase in HGH (Human Growth Hormone) when taking this supplement, which accounts for its reputation as an anti-aging supplement. HGH lowers as we age; a person at sixty has about twenty percent of the HGH of a twenty year old.
Tongkat Ali has also been shown to be very beneficial to women. It is known that testosterone helps women to maintain muscle and bone strength and to boost sex drive and libido. Women manufacture only about one-seventh the amount of testosterone that men do and menopause, ovary removal or medical HRT can further reduce production, resulting in lack of energy and reduced libido.
Tongkat Ali stimulates female testosterone production to return to normal, resulting in increased sex drive, improved bone density and appetite suppression (which can contribute to weight loss). When testosterone levels in the blood increase in testosterone-deficient women, bone density usually improves and women generally report feeling better.
Tongkat Ali has been proven to be safe for both men and women and because it does not contain testosterone but simply stimulates the body to produce more, there is no danger of "overdosing". You will simply feel energised, more enthusiastic and more interested in sex.
We supply Indonesian Tongkat Ali root extract at the optimum strength of 100:1, which we believe represents the best value for money. 1.100 means that for every gram of pure extract 100 grams of roots are used.
Dosage: Take 1 or 2 650mg capsules per day. We recommend taking Tongkat Ali in cycles for maximum effect. Use either a 7 days on 4 days off cycle, or a 10 days on 5 days off cycle, whichever is more convenient.
There have been no reported side effects from taking Tongkat Ali and no reported interactions with other medicines, herbal or traditional. However, we do not recommend taking Tongkat Ali whilst pregnant or breastfeeding.
And finally, don't be fooled by jargon...
There are some websites describing their Tongkat Ali extract as having so much percentages of glycosaponins, eurypeptides and polysaccharides. Glycosaponins are literally sugary/soapy compounds found in hundreds of plants. Polysaccharides are starches and cellulose found in ALL plants. Finally, eurypeptides is a made-up word, has no scientific meaning at all, and is only used by peddlers of inferior quality Tongkat.
An important note we would like to add here is the misconception that Tongkat Ali is always a dark and bitter powder. This is not always the case and depends on a number of factors such as extraction process and more importantly in our conservation conscious world, if the raw material is wild harvested or ethically sourced from plantation stock. Wild harvested stock has always tended to produce dark powder due to the age of the trees but many countries where the tree grows wild are enacting conservation laws making it illegal to harvest the rapidly dwindling wild stock. Subsequently responsible producers are setting up managed plantations. As it is not commercially practical to allow the stock to grow to the considerable age of some wild stock, the plantation stock is harvested at a much less mature stage. Properly processed it still produces an equally effective 1.100 extract but one which tends to be much lighter in colour than the traditional wild harvested variety. We always work very hard to maintain ethical standards for sourcing our products and we therefore support the managed plantation approach and the lighter powder that results. So the next time you see claims insisting that all Tongkat Ali has to be dark and bitter, please bear in mind the ethical conservation issues raised here.
Make sure you get the best by always buying your Tongkat Ali from Earthrise Foods.
