A Guide to Tongkat Ali

The internet is filled with a myriad of claims, to which the health industry is no stranger, and discerning which ones are actually backed up by scientific data is a hassle in and of itself. Therefore, you will always find the relevant references and links directly to the studies on the National Library of Medicine at the bottom of each page of the Tongkat Ali Guide.

In one study researchers tested the effects of Tongkat Ali on stress hormones where they put 32 men and 31 women into two separate groups. One receiving a TA supplement and the other a placebo for four weeks in total. The results showed a significant improvement in the stress hormone profile (salivary cortisol and testosterone) in the group that received TA with reduced cortisol exposure (−16%) and increased testosterone status (+37%) [1]

There are multiple other studies demonstrating the wide range of potential benefits of Tongkat Ali supplementation, such as an increase in strength, reduction of stress hormones, increase in sperm count, testosterone etc.
The aim of this guide is to provide simple and precise information about Tongkat Ali that is completely grounded the scientific research surrounding this particular herb.
