LJ100 tongkat ali health benefit and side effects, review, testimonial

LJ100 is a potent extract of Tongkat ali. We do not suggest using more than a 25 mg dose since side effects are very likely on high doses. Although some people will notice an effect the first day of use, the best results are noticed on the second or third day, even if a supplement is not taken the third day. It often has a delayed effect, unlike Viagra, Cialis and Levitra which work within hours. As to long term use, each person is different. As a general guideline, LJ100 can be taken every other day, every third day, or two days in a row followed by several days of absence. It depends how often you have sexual relations and how much sexual enhancement you want to feel. Take the least amount that suits your needs. Makes sure to take it on an empty stomach in the morning. Women also benefit from this natural sexual plant, not just men but their effective dosage is less.

For long term use do not take more than 25 mg of LJ100, preferable every other day or every third day. We have had reports of unpleasant side effects with people taking more than 50 mg. Often you will find LJ100 products in a 80 mg dosage which is often not well tolerated.

Availability over the counter and online
Tongkat Ali is sold as a powder and in capsules, and it is often combined with other herbs in libido products. There are a number of tongkat ali extracts available in various potencies, and since each raw material supplier and manufacturer has a different way of preparing and extracting the raw root material, and since there are no established standards, it is difficult to give dosage recommendations that would be consistently effective. In addition to this herb being available as a raw powder, see below for a 200 mg product, it is sold as 4:1, 20:1, 50:1 100:1, and 200:1 concentrations. There are no standards as to what constitutes a 4:1 extract versus one that is claimed to be 200:1. Hence, you have a lot of unscrupulous online marketers that claim their product is 100 to 1 or 200 to1 but are actually much weaker since there are no accepted standards. An excellent and quite reliable source of a potent extract is LJ100 trademarked by Herbal Powers. At the higher tongkat ali concentrations, such as LJ100, it becomes difficult to dose appropriately since the margin of error in terms of effectiveness versus side effects becomes quite challenging.

Suggested Use: For libido maintenance, take one capsule every other day or every third day. Some people may notice the effects by the evening of the first day, or the next day, but most people will realize a sexual interest enhancement after a few days. It depends how attuned you are to your body. As an alternative, you could consider Passion Rx which has this potent extract as one of the more than a dozen plant aphrodisiacs. Both Passion RX and LJ100 are potent, taking a full pill of each together could result in side effects of too much energy, increased body temperature, rapid heart rate, and insomnia. It is better to have a gradual enhancement of sexuality rather than taking high dosages and getting side effects.

Many tongkat ali LJ100 products advertised on line have 50 mg or 80 mg . Why is the product you carry only 25 mg?
   We purposely chose to sell a lower dosage since we realized higher amounts can lead to insomnia and lead to unpleasant side effects. If you don't get a good night's sleep, you will be less inclined to be at your best health. Dr. Ray Sahelian and his research team decided 25 mg would be the safest product to carry.

How would you compare 200 mg of the powder to the LJ100 product?
   We don't know precisely how many times potent LJ100 is over the regular tongkat ali powder, but roughly it is 15 to 30 times as potent mg to mg. However, there are some differences in the chemical composition between the two products, so they may have different physiological effects. The bottom line is that some people prefer to use LJ100, others like tongkat ali powder, still others like a combination of sexual herbs as found in Passion Rx or other formulas.

Combining it with other aphrodisiac plant extracts
We prefer LJ100 be taken by itself, but after using it for a while, if you feel you know how your body responds to it, you could combine half a capsule with low doses of other sex herbs, but caution is advised.

LJ100 side effects, danger, adverse events
There are side effects to LJ100 when used in high doses. These include increased body temperature, restlessness, irritability, and insomnia. When you buy a supplement, keep this in mind and initially start with a dose no more than 25 mg. LJ100 should not be taken on the same day as Passion Rx or other sex herb formulas or other individual sex herbs since there could be overstimulation and restlessness.

I took two LJ100 25mg capsules on Saturday about an hour before sexual activity, I experienced a severe thunder clap headache, which took about an hour to subside and was excruciating. Is this a side affect of this product? I am a 52 year old female and have taken it before with success before, however, usually only took one capsule.
   Headache is a possible adverse reaction on high dosages.

Was looking forward to trying your product, however, after only 1 capsule, haven't slept all night! Severe insomnia.
    This product has 25 mg which is a low dosage compared to other products that have 80 mg, you may wish to take a break for 2 days and then restart at a quarter of a capsule first thing in the morning. Skip your dose for a day or two, and then try the it again, this time using only half or a third of a capsule.

Can I take this sexual enhancer if I have a heart condition or taking heart medicines?
   We prefer you don't. High doses can stimulate the heart to beat faster. Consult with your doctor before using this herbal sex enhancing formula if you have a health condition or taking medications for heart rhythm problems.

I tried Tongkat Ali LJ100 80mg. After just 1 tablet, I began to sweat and have palpitations pretty much relieved with propranolol within a few hours. This was followed with aggressive thoughts and insomnia. I took no more tablets yet these symptoms continued for several days. At the end of a week, my testicle volume (I would estimate) increased by 200%, and sex and aggressiveness dominated my thoughts. Midway through the week I visited my physician to see what was going on and to document this. My liver enzymes were substantially elevated. Testosterone was, surprisingly, not at all elevated when compared to a previous test. I do not know about causality on this. It could be that the Tongkat Ali was the cause, or (I believe) that perhaps the liver was damaged from some unknown cause (no Hep A, B or C) which prevented the active components of the herb from being metabolized and cleared at a normal rate. Figured that you should know, so that you can add this to your warning. Oh, and my liver function has returned to normal. This took several months.
   LJ100 is very potent and that is why when Dr. Sahelian formulated his product he only included 25 mg as opposed to the standard 80 mg being used currently by many companies. It is difficult to imagine that liver enzymes would be so influenced by one dose, but we still don't know enough about this herb to have a clear idea on how it influences liver enzymes.

Heart racing, arrhythmia, palpitations
I'm trying the LJ100, which I've been taking for a few days. The first time I took it, within ten minutes I had a racing heart, but that disappeared in less than ten minutes. That was the same reaction as I had the first time I took a product called Bali Mojo which contains tongkat ali, although the racing heart probably lasted for forty minutes. But with Bali Mojo I never felt anything on subsequent occasions that I took it and that's been the same so far with the LJ100. Strange. If you get a side affect, do you normally get the positive effect too? Why have I had a reaction on one occasion and nothing on the others?
   Yes, we have had on occasion a person say they felt a racing heart after taking certain herbs or supplements, but it did not recur again or happened infrequently. We are not sure why this happens. The side effect and positive effect may or may not be related. Some people get only positive effects, some people only side effects, others get both.

Erectile dysfunction and impotence treatment
This is one of the more effective products on the market to use for those who wish to have a natural way to treat erectile dysfunction.

I bought a bottle of LJ100 25 mg. I read the dosage instructions which say 1 capsule every other day or 3 times a week. My question is, can I not take it as needed, like an impotence drug such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis.
   Herbs are not like drugs, they take a few days before working at their best. You can take one capsule LJ100 in the morning every other day or 3 days a week and discuss with your doctor how to use prescribed drugs. 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. Although they may begin to work the same day if a very high dose is used, many aphrodisiac herbs have a delayed effect into the second and third day after taking a capsule.

Testosterone
i just started testosterone replacement therapy as my levels were low at 230. My question is can I use any products of tongkat ali with TRT and also do you think it can increase my testosterone levels even I stop using TRT.
   It is not easy to predict in any one individual what effect the herb will have and what the benefits or adverse effects will occur. This aphrodisiac could raise levels of testosterone but we don't know if the benefits continue over time with regular use or the effects are just temporary. We don't suggest using testosterone and these products the same day.

Use with other aphrodisiac herbs or formulas
I am currently taking Argi-Vive III [a product put out by North Star Nutritionals which contains the following: L arginine 3000 .mg / niacin as niacinamide 20mg / vitamin B12 100 mcg and a proprietary blend which contains panax ginseng root extract, catuba bark, muira puama (aerial parts), ashwagandha root, gotu kola leaf, maca root, horny goat weed, epimedium grandiflorum extract (whole plant) ]. Can I also take LJ100, since what I am taking now does not do any thing for me? I did have seeds implants about 4 years ago for prostate cancer.
   We suggest not taking two different products the same day but rather to first see how LJ100 works by itself for a few days.

Use with SSRI antidepressant medications
I read somewhere that it can be dangerous to take tongkat Ali with SSRIs. Is this also true for LJ100?
   Yes, LJ100 is potent and should not be taken the same day as a SSRI such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and other antidepressants.

I have had great success using LJ100 and other herbs for sexual enhancement. I recently just started taking Zoloft which is working wonderfully for me but I am experiencing a loss of libido. I read that you don't recommend taking LJ100 with an SSRI. Is there any sexual enhancement herbs that are safe with Zoloft? Also can I take Korean Ginseng while on Zoloft.
   Antidepressants of the SSRI class increase serotonin in the brain and thus dampen libido and erections. Unexpected side effects can occur when such drugs and sexual herbs, such as LJ100, are combined. Hence, even though there may be people who can tolerate the combination of a SSRI and LJ100 or other sex herbs, some people may not and get side effects and we cannot predict who will have such untoward reactions and which sexual herb will be tolerated and effective and which will not. We don't want to take the chance recommending a particular sex herb to be taken with antidepressants and then learning that someone had a bad reaction.

Serge Kreutz and others
There is a very interesting website run by Serge Kreutz which also mentions the name of Ray Sahelian, M.D., and discusses the false or exaggerated propaganda about this LJ100. Serge Kreutz says, "In spite of, or probably because of, the pseudoscience applied in its marketing, LJ100 today seems to be the most widely distributed tongkat ali product. It’s amazing that even a physician with a generally good knowledge of herbal medicines, Ray Sahelian, MD, has fallen for their tricks."
  We like it when people have such passion for something, and in this case Serge Kreutz seems to be passionate about learning about natural sexual aphrodisiacs including tongkat ali and LJ100. However, it is premature for Serge Kreutz to be making this statement. We called and spoke with the research staff that works with the Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D. They have tested LJ100 on themselves and patients, and they are of the strong opinion that LJ100 is an effective aphrodisiac, just as other herbs including horny goat weed, tribulus terrestris, yohimbe, etc We are not sure what Serge Kreutz means when he says 'falling for their tricks." If LJ100 is effective according to Dr. Sahelian, what makes Serge Kreutz any more of an expert?

The more I research, the more confusion. There is tongkat-ali powder 200mg (origin Indonesia) and LJ100 in what I think is an extract. On another website Serge Kreutz says do not to buy powders and not to buy product from Malaysia (LJ100) where your LJ100 product originates according to your certificate; for a number of reasons listed on his site. Will you comment on this? Secondly, why do you get powder from Indonesia and LJ100 extract from Malaysia?
   You can find many opinions on the internet on a variety of topics. We prefer not to comment on other people's viewpoints but rather we rely on one of the world's leading authorities on natural supplements, Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., who is the bestselling author of Natural Sex Boosters. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. According to Dr. Sahelian, and reports from users, both forms of tongkat ali, the powder and LJ100, are effective. Rather than focus on where the tree is grown, more important is how old the roots are and how well the roots are processed and how reliable the manufacturer is. We believe we have an excellent source that we buy from to make our tongkat ali and LJ100 products are effective.

LJ200 and 200 to 1 extracts
I saw an add for LJ200. What is this product and is LJ200 more potent than LJ100?
   We have not tested LJ200 so we don't know how effective it is. There are many companies that sell this herb in various potencies, and since there are no acceptable standards in terms of concentration of active ingredients, they call their product anything they want without any necessity in accuracy. LJ100 is a concentrated form of tongkat ali and is quite potent, perhaps too potent. We don't see any need to concentrate tongkat ali any further. Therefore, for the time being, LJ200 is not an extract that we find necessary since the tongkat ali plain powder and LJ100 are quite sufficient on their own. Also, just because LJ100 says that it is 100 times an extract does not mean it is exactly 100 times as potent as regular tongkat aii powder. If you take 200 mg of tongkat ali powder, you will realize how potent it is. Many products have 80 mg of LJ100 in them, and we feel that this is too potent and can lead to unpleasant side effects. It is naive to claim that just because an LJ100 product has 80 mg or 25 mg of LJ100 that this makes it equivalent to 8000 mg of tongkat ali powder or 2500 mg of tongkat ali powder, respectively. It just doesn't work that way. Keep in mind, too, that tongkat ali has side effects and taking too much regular powder, LJ100 or LJ200 can be counterproductive since these can cause insomnia. And when insomnia occurs, overall health is impaired.

Q. I am interested in using either the Passion rx formula or just the lj100 product, both as libido boosters, and as testosterone enhancement for body building. Although I have tried several other testosterone boosters in the past they have had little effect on me, and the side "benefit" has been short-term (while using the products) difficulties with sex. (difficulty gaining erections) I have never taken either steroids or any of the prohormones. Is there any chance of the lj100 by itself or the passion rx causing the reverse effect from what they are intended? Do either of these products stimulate the feed back loop that begins the aromatization of testosterone to estrogen? If so how long and what should I take to avoid this? How long before I should expect results or side effects while taking either lj100 or passion rx? If they work as libido boosters, how long before I should expect to see results?
   A. If used too frequently, many sex herbs or sexual products can have a reverse effect since they can cause insomnia and fatigue. It is best to use Passion Rx, LJ100, or other sexual herbal products a few days a week and take a full week off each month. Not enough studies have been done in humans to determine the hormonal effects of these herbs and they are not to be relied on for body building purposes. Most people notice sexual enhancement within 2 or 3 days. They are best taken every other day initially and then less frequently. LJ100 and Passion Rx should not be taken the same day.
