Over the past couple of years, there have been numerous Tongkat Ali researches conducted to test the effects Tongkat Ali has on sexual performance. The results have been always positive and have supported the conventional beliefs about how Tongkat Ali helps erectile dysfunction.

One of the researches conducted using rats have given a good picture of what is really happening with Tongkat Ali and how the intake dose and the frequency effect the consumer. First of all, the dosage given for rats was 800mg per 1 kg of the body weight. When it comes to humans, this is quite a high dosage. Imagine 800mg in to 65 kg and how about taking in that dosage (about 52 g) twice a day? Although this is too much for humans, rats were given the above proportion of Tongkat Ali in order to observe immediate effects, so the research time can be minimized.

The male rats were given two doses of Tongkat Ali a day for 10 days. There are a few interesting observations from this research. First of all, rats that were given Tongkat Ali changed their behavior significantly compared to the rats that were not given Tongkat Ali. The rats who were on a Tongkat Ali dosage, started hanging around the female rats more than usual. Although the rats that were not given Tongkat Ali spend time exploring cage etc., the rats with Tongkat Ali spent all there time with female rats.

The research used two parameters for changing the rats’ behavior to see how Tongkat Ali affects them. The first one was the dosage. When the dosage increases, the number of times the male rats tried to mate with the female rats was increased. In addition to that, male rats started self grooming their genitals, which can be interpreted as self pleasuring. This is a clear indication of the positive effect on the sexual drive of Tongkat Ali. Then the dosage frequency was also increased for measuring the effects. High frequencies of dosage also created similar behavior as high dosage.

Although there have been a number of Tongkat Ali researches conducted with rodents, there have been only one or two researches done with human samples. One such Tongkat Ali research has taken place in Malaysia. The reports say that it has shown the relationship between Tongkat Ali and male testosterone levels. Since the details of this research have been published in one of the promotional materials, the authenticity of the material is not known.

When it comes to Tongkat Ali research, there are no published researches about the long term affects of taking the herbal medicine. Therefore, consumers have an options available. Take Tongkat Ali with a break. For an example, one can take Tongkat Ali for one week and not take in the following week. This gives a good break to the body and will minimize if there are long term affects.
