Tongkat ali, also known as pasak bumi or longjack, is a root traditionally used in Southeast Asia to increase libido, sexual performance and to treat erectile dysfunction. Tongkat ali is thought to work by naturally increasing free testosterone levels. Other reported effects include decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, increased energy, enhanced immune system and mental clarity. Both men and women can experience the remarkable benefits of this amazing herb.
For centuries, people of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand have used the Tongkat ali (longjack) root as a powerful aphrodisiac and the powder of this root is still widely used in these countries today. This is a sought after supplement for athletes and bodybuilders due to its ability to increase testosterone in the blood by releasing metabolically inactive testosterone from binding proteins. Unbound or free testosterone typically makes up only about 2% of the testosterone in the bloodstream, so even minor changes in free testosterone levels can have a profound impact.
Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in both men and women’s bodies. Benefits of tongkat ali for men include: increased libido and sexual performance, longer harder erections, increased muscle mass and muscle tone, reduced body fat and increased sperm count. Although women’s testosterone levels may only be 10% of a man’s, it’s function is critical in maintaining overall health and hormonal balance. Women who take tongkat ali (longjack) typically experience increased sexual desire and sensitivity, increased energy, improved muscle tone and bone density, reduced body fat, and relief from menstrual symptoms.
Other reported benefits of tongkat ali root include boosting energy levels. Tongkat ali works to increase levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the chemical responsible for nearly all energy production in the body. Tongkat ali also supports healthy lipids levels in the blood acting to increase levels of high density lipoproteins, HDL Cholesterol (ie. good cholesterol). Tongkat ali may also be useful for increasing levels of the human growth hormone which naturally decline as we age.
