Written by | published on

As its Western name already implies "Long Jack" has traditionally been used as libido booster. As Tongkat Ali or E. Longifolia extract it is yet also an ingredient of "Testosterone Boosters", these days - rightly so? In spite of the fact that you'll probably agree, when I say that the risks of classic (hormonal) testosterone replacement therapy are largely overblown in the never-ending debate about the alleged negative side effect of "The Big T" ( learn more about Testosterone), it would still be nice if there were natural and thus easily accessible alternatives, right? An alternative like the one A. George & R. Henkel, two scientists from Malaysia and South Africa believe to have found in Eurycoma longifolia aka "Long Jack" or "Tongkat Ali" (George. 2014). In their latest paper in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Andrologia , George & Henkel claim that the contemporary evidence would suggest that "Tongkat A...

It does not always take a pill to effectively manage your stress levels. Don't forget to take your well-deserved timeouts - from work and work outs and use a hot bath to "pre-regenerate" ( learn more ) While "long jack" as it is also called is probably best known for its testosterone boosting effects   ( learn more about Tongkat Ali aka "Ali's Stick") and one of the staple ingredient in the standard OTC-testosterone boosters ( previous news ), its traditional use as a longevity agent does already hint at the fact that its ability to boost testosterone levels and fertility may actually be mere side effects of a more general effect, of which a recent study from SupplementWatch would suggest that it is the ability of the this herbal medicinal plant that grows in South East Asia (Malaysia, Vietnam, Java, Sumatra,Thailand) to normalize the reaction to all sorts of exogenous stressors (including exercise and everyday stress). "Our employ...

Tongkat Ali - Malaysian Viagra W/ Anti-Belly Effect: More Than 30% Reduced Omental Fat Pad Size + Corresponding Increases in Testosterone W/ Human Equiv. of 4g+/Day

It's efficacy in situations like this has more scientific back-up than any of the muscle building of fat burning promises some Tongkat Ali supps come with. By now, most of you should have read the article on the testosterone "boozing" effects of alcohol and realized that the post workout Margarita probably comes off second best, when we compare it to whey and may - at least until we don't know otherwise - actually be pathological (=the result of a disturbance of the normal hormone metabolism in the liver). That being said, we better go back the "tried(!) and proven(?)" stuff. I mean a herb that goes by the name "Long Jack" does already sound way more promising than a "Blood Mary" doesn't it? "Long Jack? ;Malaysian viagra? Ok, I am in!" As the popular name already implies, the root of Eurycoma longifolia Jack , an evergreen plant that belongs to the family Simaroubaceae has a long (all puns intended) tradition in ...

Image 1: Looks like the Terminator was concerned about "bone" health, maybe he should consider Tonkgat ali as an addition to his TRT... or whatever regimen;-) If you want to, you can call today's news a special installment of " On Short Notice " , I have already had a couple of interesting news and before I am piling up another truckload, I thought I could make at least some of you happy and put a handful of them out before the Super Human Radio & SuppVersity Science Round-Up on Thursday (you better make time to listen live , Thursday, 12PM/EST and download the first installment if you haven't done so, already ;-) and the "official" Saturdaily installment of " On Short Notice " , here at the SuppVersity .

Image 1: Let's hope no one uproats and steels this flowering plant from the family Simaroubaceae after reading about its testosterone boosting effects ;-) Kudos to Benson, who certainly is one of the Minds on the Mind And Muscle Forums (I don't know about his muscle, though ;-). Benson dug up a very recent article on the effects of "Ali's Stick" ( Tambi. 2011 ), which would be the literal translation of "Tongkat ali" , also known as the "Malaysian ginseng" , a herb that has been used by generations of men in South-East-Asia to improve their sexual performance, on testosterone levels in 76 male patients suffering from late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) and, consequently, Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS). The study that is going to be published in the next issue of Andrologia , the first international journal of andrology, was conducted by an international team of scientists from Malaysia and South Afri...
