Tongkat Ali Extract | Scientific Evidence & Mechanisms*
Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia, also referred to as Longjack) is an herbal supplement from Southeast Asia traditionally used to support testosterone levels, especially in aging men or those with age-related declines. The herb is often referred to as Longjack. Studies suggest it can increase total and free testosterone, potentially improving mood, energy, libido, and muscle strength, by helping release bound testosterone and reducing stress hormones like cortisol, though more research on long-term effects is needed.*
How it Works
-
Free Testosterone Release: It is believed to increase free testosterone (the usable form) by reducing Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), which binds to testosterone, effectively making more available in the body.*
-
Stress Reduction: It can lower cortisol (a stress hormone) and improve the cortisol-to-testosterone ratio, which is beneficial for testosterone levels.*
