Eurycoma longifolia, commonly referred to
as Tongkat Ali, is primarily known for its sexual enhancing features.
Grown exclusively in Southeast Asia, the natural testosterone booster
is credited for increasing ones’ libido, muscle mass, energy levels,
athletic performance, improving workout recovery time, and has also been
associated with cancer fighting activities.
Testosterone Levels
An increased testosterone level results in many known health
benefits. Decreased risk of depression, less body fat, a stronger heart
and bones, and a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease are just a few.
Tongkat is most known for its testosterone building aspects which lead
to a large number of other advantages.
Ergogenic Assistance
The extract has shown to promising results related to ergogenic
support, meaning that upon supplementation users noticed an improved
responsiveness to strenuous activity and exercise, similar to
L-Glutamine. This effect results due to increased levels of
testosterone.
Enhanced Libido
An increased libido or sexual desire is a common result from taking
Tongkat Ali. Again, this can be credited to increased levels of
testosterone. Most men and women taking the extract stated to have
experienced increased sexual arousal.
Anti-Cancer Agent
The extract has also been linked to cancer (primarily breast, colon
and lung) preventing benefits. Both alkaloids and quassinoids can be
found in eurycoma longifolia and have been proven to significantly
inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Energy Levels
By increasing the body’s metabolic rate and improving blood
circulation enhanced energy levels have been experienced upon ingesting
the supplement. One down side is the experience of insomnia and
excessive fatigue the following day when not taking the proper dosage,
but by taking the correct amounts earlier in the day you can experience
all of the benefits and no negative side effects.
Athletic Performance
An increased level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is another effect
of eurycoma longifolia, improving overall energy and vivacity.
Significant enhancements in both athletic performance and muscle mass
have been experienced in users of the agent. Thanks to the anabolic
effects of Tongkat a large number of Southeast Asian athletes have begun
using the substance with improved athletic results.
Increased Muscle Mass
The extract has been scientifically proven to induce muscle growth in
men by 5% on average. The British Journal of Sports Medicine reinforced
this by using a double-blind, placebo controlled trial. The journal
also showed an average 1.8cm increase in the group’s arm circumference
(30.87cm to 32.67cm).
