Tongkat Ali has recently entered the male enhancement Celebrity spot light, many believe it can help boost your Testerone level, increase your sex drive, and improve your athletic abilities. But does it actually do any of this? Is there any truth to the almost mythological affects of Tongkat?
Actually, Tongkat ali has been a “celebrity” herb in boosting male libido throughout Indonesia and Malaysia for hundreds of years, even before Malaysia was established as a country. It was and is still such a popular herb that it’s been placed on the endangered species list by the Malaysian government.
It’s medical name is Eurycoma Longifolia also well known buy its street name long Jack, and as the legend goes an Indian elder tribesman “Ali” became ill and against the suggestion of the tribe went hunting alone, he became lost in the forest and did not return for months. During the time Ali was lost he initially was not able to catch any prey and ended up chewing on a short plant and its roots he found abundant in the forest. The legend further indicates Ali became more energetic, and as he noticed this he continued to take up more of this new plant, he became stronger and after a few months was able to find his way back to his tribe, but when he came he looked much younger, he’s illness was gone, and he was as vibrant as the younger men, he even took on a new younger wife because of his high sexual desire.
In Vietnam Tongkat is known as the “tree of a 100 cures” and is credited with being able to help with treatment of diabetes, jaundice, malaria, dysentery, gingivitis, erectile dysfunction (ED), increase sex drive, libido, fight fatigue, remove stress and in general improve strength.
There can be many real benefits for Tongkat Ali, but here I will discuss only those that have been researched through science.
What’s the truth behind Tongkat Ali benefits?
Since there’s been so much hype about Tongkat, there must be some truth to what it does, and there is. Recently there has been an upshot in research about this herb. The research focused on its effects on male infertility, testosterone boosting properties, and increase in sex drive.
Recent research has shown Tongkat Ali is able to naturally boost Testosterone level in men, this is why many body builder use it to naturally improve their performance without subjecting them selves to T injections which can be harmful to the body. Tongkat Ali has been understood to be safe in this regard because instead of introducing new testosterone into your body, it actually helps stimulate natural production of your own testosterone by your body. Tongkat also helps down regulate, or slow down the inactivation of testosterone production, this means when your body naturally produces testosterone it helps this testosterone remain in circulation instead of telling your body to stop production if testosterone.
Testosterone regulation based Benefits include:
– Boost in energy level
– Improved vitality (look and feel younger)
– Improved physical strength
– Increase Sexual desire and drive
– More confident man
Further research studies of Tongkat Ali extract vs placebo on over 100 men have shown an improved sperm production in the Tongkat users with higher motility, meaning more healthier and improved semen production (44% quality improvement and 18% quantity improvement to be exact), within only 12 weeks. While the testosterone level was boosted a whooping 37% over all.
The currently available clinical, animal and human research on Tongkat Ali supports it’s effects as an aphrodisiac substance that can potentially boost your testosterone, drastically improving sexual drive, and physical performance.
Research based Physical benefits:
– Increased muscular and physical performance
– improved penile erection strength and size
– improved duration of sexual activity
Research based Mental benefits:
– increased sexual desire
– improved confidence
– Boost in Motivation
– more overall Energy
– feel more competitive
So as you can see there is a lot of truth to the Tongkat Ali legend that’s just being brought to light through research, however many companies still aren’t caught up to this. Many products designed for male health, and specifically male enhancement, still Do Not include Tongkat Ali, while those that do have very little dosages.
Most companies that do include Tongkat in their formula have 2-40mg which is very little, as compared to 400mg in ASOX9.
All the above research, and much more that can be found under the studies tab, is the reason Tongkat Ali was made the top ingredient for ASOX9. A total of 400mg of Tongkat Ali, more than pretty much all other brands and formulas, is included in ASOX9, in addition to other natural herbal extracts specifically designed to give you both maximum physical health, as well as sexual benefits; give you hardest, maximized erections, improved sexual stamina and desire.
You can find more information on research under the “Studies” tab, while more information on the ASOX9 Formula here, or take a look at the order options if you’d like to try it your self.
