What is Tongkat Ali?
Eurycoma Longifolia Jack, also known as Tongkat Ali, is a flowering plant and member of the Simaroubaceae family and can be found in the South East Asian region, in countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Cultures in these regions believed consuming Tongkat Ali would provide an array of Tongkat Ali health benefits.
For centuries, people have used Tongkat Ali for its purported testosterone, strength, and energy benefits. In fact, several studies have noted testosterone promoting effects from people taking a Tongkat Ali supplement. A study evaluating the testosterone promoting benefits of Tongkat Ali also discovered higher levels of energy and physical strength among athletes taking a Tongkat Ali supplement compared to those not taking the supplement.
However, it’s important to note that many Tongkat Ali supplements do not test or standardize to the active compounds that make Tongkat Ali such a potent supplement for vitality. The bioactive component in Tongkat Ali, Eurycomanone, is believed to be responsible for the array of Tongkat Ali benefits, including promoting healthy testosterone levels! Fortunately, with modern technology and research we have been able to create highly potent Tongkat ali extracts like this 2% Eurycomanone extract. Let's get into the benefits this may have for you!
