Tongkat Ali, also known as Eurycoma longifolia, is a plant that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It is native to Southeast Asia and is often used as a natural remedy for various health issues. In recent years, Tongkat Ali has gained attention for its potential to improve testosterone levels and sexual performance. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at Tongkat Ali and explore its benefits, uses, and potential side effects.

What Is Tongkat Ali?

Tongkat Ali is a small evergreen tree found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Its roots are the most commonly used part of the plant, and they have been traditionally used to boost libido, improve energy levels, and treat a variety of ailments, such as malaria and fever. There are actually three other plant species that can refer to Tongkat Ali; Entomophthora apiculata, Polyalthia bullata, and Goniothalamus.

The more popular plant species in supplements is E. longifolia.

Other names for this plant can include:

• Malaysian Ginseng
• LongJack

Tongkat Ali Benefits:

One of the most popular uses for Tongkat Ali is to help promote testosterone levels. And some research and users indicate it may promote free and total testosterone levels.

However, most of the potential health benefits of Tongkat Ali need more research.†

Tongkat Ali has also been shown to have a variety of other health benefits, including:

Stacks:

Tongkat Ali is a great stacking compound, which is why it’s commonly featured in natural testosterone booster blends. However, it has more uses than just as a testosterone booster. As always, whatever stack you choose will be based on your goals.

 

For example, to promote testosterone, you may want to stack it with Shilajit Extract.† Shilajit may also be beneficial as an adaptogen, like Tongkat Ali. †

If you want to put on some muscle mass while also increasing your strength, the combination of Tongkat Ali with Creatine may be a great option.† Other potential benefits of Creatine include:

• Support metabolic function†
• Enhance cognitive health†
• Promote physical and mental energy†

Some research indicates Tongkat Ali may help promote a positive mood and support stress management. To help these properties even further, you can try stacking with Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen and also a great option for stress management.†

Other benefits of Ashwagandha can include:

• Promote a positive mood†
• Improve sleep quality†
• Promote brain health and cognitive function†
