Tongkat Ali extract benefit, side effects, risks, dosage, and review of research studies - Information on LJ100
How to use this potent herb safely

Tongkat ali root works very well as an aphrodisiac, however high doses have side effects as listed a few paragraphs below. It is a good idea to use a low dosage of this herb and not to take the supplement every day. There is much misinformation on tongkat ali herb on the internet and many websites promote very high dosages which are likely to cause extremely unpleasant adverse effects. We trust the formulas and dosages made available by Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D. He advises treating tongkat ali herb with respect.
As a supplement, this root is available as a full spectrum powder, for instance Tongkat ali 200 mg, or in various extract potencies including a popular high potency extract called LJ100. Do not take more than 25 mg of LJ100 a day, preferable every other day or every third day. We have had reports of unpleasant side effects with people taking more than 50 mg of LJ100 a day. Often you will find LJ100 products in a 80 mg dosage. The 80 mg of LJ100 dosage is not well tolerated by many users. As with many aphrodisiac herbs, it is better to use lower amounts and proceed with a slower sexual enhancement over several days as opposed to shocking the body with a high amount leading to unpleasant reactions which can include increased body temperature, restlessness and aggressiveness. As to the full spectrum tongkat ali, a dose of 200 mg two days on, one or more days off, is reasonable. Some people may need to use it less frequently, others more frequently. There is an excellent, doctor-formulated, highly popular sexual enhancing product with tongkat ali called Passion Rx. This formula works very well to enhance sexual pleasure and performance, in men and women.

Tongkat Ali side effects

supplement information
Tongkat Ali ( Eurycoma longifolia jack ) is a small tree found in the jungles throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and Southeat Asia. It is commonly known as Tongkat Ali in Malaysia and Singapore, Piak or Tung Saw in Thailand, and Pasak Bumi in Indonesia. The Tongkat Ali tree can grow up to about 12 meters in height. Natives consider every part of this tree as medicine. Tongkat Ali is used as a tonic, to treat malaria, and as an aphrodisiac. In the old days, the roots had to be brewed for long hours to get a bitter extract. Now tongkat ali, which literally means Ali's cane, is packed in pill or "tea-bag" form and mixed with regular coffee or tea. The coffee and tea are now sold in Malaysia's roadside hawker stalls, supermarkets and even at restaurants in posh hotels. LJ100 is a potent version of tongkat ali. This root is available as a supplement in various extract potencies. You can find a regular powder, an extract of 10 to 1, an extract of 20 to 1,50 to 1, and even higher concentrations. It is not possible to determine which extract potency will work for you unless you try it. All of these extract potencies appear to be effective but different people have different preferences.

About LJ100
This product is a concentrated extract of the tongkat ali root. It contains Eurycoma Longifolia jack, standardized to 40% Glycosaponins and 22% Eurypeptides.

Benefits
Most of the research with tongkat ali root has focused on its benefit for sexual enhancement. However, there has been some laboratory and animal research regarding the influence of tongkat ali against malaria and as a anti cancer herb. For the time being, there seems to be clear benefit as a sexual enhancer. Future research will determine whether this root has any clinical application in terms of malaria treatment, cancer prevention or treatment, or any other benefits.

Benefit as an aphrodisiac
Over the past few years, there have been quite a number of studies that have shown tongkat ali root to have libido-boosting properties. The effects of tongkat ali root were studied on the libido of male rats after dosing them twice daily for 10 days. Results showed that tongkat ali root produced a dose-dependent increase in mounting frequency, that is, the number of times the male rats tried to mount the female rats increased as the dose given to the rats increased. In addition, the rats given tongkat ali root displayed more frequent and vigorous licking and anogenital sniffing towards the receptive females. Furthermore, the rats dosed with tongkat ali root spent more time grooming their genitals compared to the rats who were not given the plant. Genital grooming may be interpreted as self-pleasuring since the rats were most likely enjoying the sensation of touching themselves. The researchers noticed another interesting finding: while the rats who had not received tongkat ali root showed normal behavior within the cage such as exploration and climbing the cage wall, the rats given tongkat ali stayed around the females instead of exploring the cage. In human terms this may be interpreted as a man spending more time in the kitchen helping his wife wash the dishes than in the den lounged in a Lazyboy chair absorbed by a baseball game :). Tongkat ali also increased the frequency of the rats' penis erections.

Benefit for cancer
Beta-carboline alkaloids isolated from tongkat ali have demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against human lung cancer (A-549) and human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. In plain English, this means that some compounds in Tongkat ali can kill cancer cells. The practical significance of this finding in humans is not clear at this time. Tongkat ali supplements can cause side effects if used daily in high dosages, so we don't know if small amounts of the supplements could have an anti-cancer benefit.

Use for malaria
Interestingly, scientists have found that, in addition to its sex-enhancing effects, compounds within this root have anti-malarial properties.

Mechanism of action
Very little is known regarding the mechanisms of action of tongkat ali extract. Recent studies indicate that the root contains several compounds including beta-carboline alkaloids and quassinoid-type glycosides, including eurycomaoside. How these compounds and many others in tongkat ali root influence hormonal release or the human sexual response is not clearly understood at this time. We have read promotional material by some vitamin companies regarding tongkat ali extract that it enhances testosterone production or release, however we have not been able to definitively confirm this claim through a Medline search.

Availability and dosage
Tongkat Ali is sold as a powder, in capsules, sometimes mixed with other herbs. There are a number of tongkat ali extracts available in various potencies, and since each company has a different way of extracting, and since there are no established standards, it is difficult to give dosage recommendations that would be consistently effective with few side effects. In addition to tongkat ali being available as a raw powder, it is sold in extracts as a 4:1, 5:1, 20:1 and a 100:1 concentration. At the higher concentrations it becomes difficult to dose appropriately since the margin of error in terms of effectiveness versus side effects becomes more challenging. There are companies that claim they have a 200 to or even a 400 to 1 extract. Many researchers who are experts on this topic doubt the integrity of these claims.

What is the ideal dosage?
Although high dosages of tongkat ali work quicker, they also can produce unpleasant side effects. Hence, we suggest starting at a lower amount, such as 200 mg of tongkat ali root powder, and to use this amount every other day or two days on, one or more days off. Use a lower amount if you live in a hot climate since this herb can raise body temperature.

Side effects
One of the shortcomings of Tongkat Ali is that it can easily cause insomnia, and lack of sleep can lower sex drive. Therefore it is somewhat difficult to find the right dose that works without causing this insomnia, and that's where an experienced herbalist who has wide knowledge with this plant is crucial in terms of formulating the right product with the right amount and extract potency of tongkat ali. High doses can also cause increased body temperature. Some people find that when they take a high dose, they become restless and impatient, perhaps easily angered. Long term effects of tongkat ali on human consumption are not known. It is best, until we learn more, to not take tongkat ali continuously without breaks. Some people prefer tongkat ali every other day, or 2 days on, 2 days off, or just a couple of days a week. In fact, taking tongkat ali 2 days a week minimizes any potential side effects.

Tongkat Ali eurycoma longifolia questions
Q. Is it possible that chronic use, increasing over time due to tolerance, of OTC herbals such as tribulus terrestris, tongkat ali, etc. can lead to secondary hypogonadism due, such as the HTPA axis being so imbalanced that it cannot easily be restarted?
A. The hormonal influence of tongkat ali, tribulus terrestris, and many other herbs, when used on a chronic basis, is not fully known since human studies are few, but this, and other scenarios, are theoretically possible. We always recommend people take breaks from the use of herbs. In most people, tongkat ali only needs to be taken 2 or 3 days a week.

Q. What is the difference in strength between tongkat ali 200 mg and LJ100:1 25 mg?
A. it's difficult to say, some people prefer LJ100 25 mg while we have feedback for just the opposite, others preferring tongkat ali 200 mg powder.

Q. I have been taking tablets of 80 mg LJ100 but I am also considering tongkat ali root powder, 200mg capsules. I need to know what the ratio this tongkat ali product is based on so i know how many tablets equals the dosage i am presently taking.
A. Herbs are available as the regular full spectrum powder and also in various extract potencies. There is a misconception that if an extract is 10:1 that means it is 10 times as potent, or if it is 100:1 then it is 100 times more potent, but that is not the case. When an herb is concentrated, sometimes some of the other active ingredients are removed since the manufacturers focus on a particular substance within an herb rather than the full spectrum of potential beneficial substances. Many people find full spectrum tongkat ali 200 mg regular powder to be a good amount and more is not necessarily better. We often suggest using less tongkat ali since side effects occur on high doses including disturbed sleep and high body temperature and irritability. If insomnia occurs, that can take away the benefits of the sexual enhancement since sleep is important for optimal libido. Most people prefer taking onecapsule of tongkat ali 200 mg every other day, or two days on, 1 or 2 days off. Taking days off actually makes this aphrodisiac herb work better. As to LJ100, high doses, such as over 25 mg, may work well, but also cause unpleasant side effects. Dr. Ray Sahelian has formulated a product at 25 mg of LJ100 in order to minimize unpleasant effects.

Q. How quickly does tongkat ali or LJ100 work? Can they be used the same day as Viagra?

A. Herbs are not like drugs, they take a few days before providing optimal results. You can take one capsule LJ100 in the morning every other day or 3 days a week. We suggest not taking Viagra the same day as LJ100. Viagra can be taken on a day when you are not taking LJ100 and it is better to use a smaller dose of Viagra than you normally do. LJ100 and many other herbs have a delayed effect into the second and third day after taking a capsule.

Q. Do you have a tongkat ali eurycoma longifolia picture?
A. We are in the process of finding a high resolution tongkat ali picture.

Q. I tried Tongkat ali supplement and was impressed by the feverish feeling it gave me. It is not a pleasant thing to take in an un-air conditioned apartment in Saigon, Vietnam.

I am a 24 year old male from the UK. I had my testosterone levels checked and they were 13 nmol/L. Very low! Although the medical normal range is about 9nmol/L to 38nmol/L, my low level is causing problems for me. Particularly I believe it is hindering muscle gains in the gym, causing more fat storage and lowering the quality of my erections (strength and duration). I also believe it is negatively affecting my penile size. Also a lack of facial hair! I want to boost my testosterone levels. I understand you cannot give me specific advice, and I am currently in conference with my doctor over these issues, and hope to see an endocrinologist to have a thorough examination to search for possible causes of my low level. I was however hoping you may be able to give me some general advice on low testosterone and testosterone boosters. Particularly Tongkat Ali. I came across a website claiming than most tongkat ali products are really pretty useless due to chronic underdosing of the actual active ingredients and poor quality plants (too young and/or contaminated with heavy metals). I hear that Malaysian tongkat is inferior and really Indonesian tongkat is the only one worth buying. I am seriously considering buying some 1:50 tongkat ali extract from Indonesia. However I am worried about taking this pure high dose stuff, as I hear it has an LD50 value (a dosage value where 50% of the lab animals died from)...I am not familiar with an LD50 and if all or most herbal products have one, but I found it quite scary that tongkat could be lethal to life at ANY dosage however high. And to me an LD50 is not a safe guarantee level, a safe level would be under the dosage where ANY lab animal died, preferably lower than where any serious negative side effects were noted! Also, I am hoping to try and increase my penile size with tongkat ali, I hear it can do this, particularly with ballooning techniques applied to the penis. One website claimed that it is not the actual testosterone (and then the increased metabolite of testosterone-dihydrotestosterone) increase which increases penile size but the increased activity of the leydig cells in the testicles which causes the testicles and penis to increase in size, and this is why exogenous steroid usage shrinks the penis. I can see how increased leydig cell activity could increase the testicles but I dont see how it could increase the size of the penis...but it would be worth a try, and if it works it works, I dont care if people dont understand WHY or HOW it works, as long as its safe! I am unsure if this would mean I would need an even higher dosage of tongkat, hopefully this would still be safe? Finally I am worried about the claims tongkat can make you more aggressive and more sexual. I guess its the fear I may lose control of my actions (similar to the cases of roid rage, particularly cases where people end up in jail for loss of control!) Is this a serious concern with tongkat ali, in high doses of 1:50 extract. I believe the dosage is about 1 gram a day. Many thanks for your time, please get back to me if you have the time, it would really mean alot to me, as there are few places to turn for quality advice on herbal products.
There are many websites that have incomplete or incorrect information regarding this herb, especially as to which country is a better source. Both Malaysia and Indonesia have good tongkat ali trees and be skeptical of web sites that try to sell their product claiming theirs is the best. Hopefully this page will help you with the right info. If you plan to use this herb, use low dosages and take frequent breaks.

Tongkat ali supplement emails
Q. Before I buy tongkat ali extract, I would like to know if it interferes with heart medications or is safe for someone with heart disease.
A. This root, in high doses, can increase heart rate, and in very high doses could cause heart rhythm problems. This would not be a major problem in those who have normal hearts since the effects are temporary, but in those who have heart disease, unexpected complications could occur. Hence, we don't suggest you buy tongkat ali if you have a heart condition.

Q. I read somewhere that tongkat ali causes penis size enlargement. What is the influence of this herb on penis size and growth?
A. Tongkat ali can help with improving penis blood flow, but it will not help your penis grow bigger than it would normally under maximal and ideal stimulation. In other words, this aphrodisiac plant can help your penis engorge to the maximum it would if you were quite stimulated, but it is not going to make your penis grow an inch or two.

Q. I understand in southeast Asia. like Indonesia or Malaysia, they drink tongkat ali coffee, is this true? If so, can I mix tongkat ali powder in my coffee?
A. Yes, in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand they do drink tongkat ali coffee. You can mix the root powder in your coffee but we don't see any advantage to doing this. Coffee is a stimulant, so is tongkat ali. Plus, this root does not taste that well, it fact it is quite bitter.

A. There are dozens of companies that sell eurycoma longifolia products. We have not done a review of the different supplements to see how effective they are. Some products have too high a dosage of tongkat ali and if you do purchase them, use a portion of a capsule.

Q. Is it okay to take extracts of tongkat ali and ginseng the same day?

Q. Is tongkat extract safe to take with antidepressant medications such as SSRIs?
A. Tongkat ali may not be safe to take along with SSRI medications such as Prozac or Paxil.

If your doctor approves, you may wish to skip your depression medication during the days that you take tongkat extract.

Q. I was reading your website regarding tongkat ali It says to take the capsules or power in single doses. I had bought SD-50 Eurycoma Longifolia Jack Extract Strength 1:50 . it says to take 3 capsules in the morning before food. Would this be safe or is it too much?
A. SD-50 is a tongkat ali extract that we have not taken ourselves so we don't know how potent it is.

Q. Does tongkat ali increase testosterone levels?
A. As of April 2009, we have not come across any definitive human research regarding the influence of this herb on testosterone levels. Even if this herb helps make, or release, testosterone, would the effects continue over time? The answers are not clear at this time. We do know that taking a tongkal ali supplement helps increase libido and genital sensation, along with orgasm strength. Are these due to testosterone release or due to other factors?
