Tongkat Ali has become a popular supplement worldwide because of its ability to boost testosterone naturally and support male hormonal balance. However, a lot of people in North America are unfamiliar with this incredible product and many people wonder what Tongkat Ali really is.

Also known as Long Jack, Tongkat Ali (eurycoma longifolia) is a flowering plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia. The part of the tree used medicinally is the root. People in the Southeast Asia have traditionally utilized the herb for its suggested antimalarial and antibacterial activity as well as its antiulcer and antitumor properties.

But Tongkat Ali became “famous” for a different reason and its popularity could rapidly grow even bigger as The Dr Oz Show is scheduled to run a segment on this plant-based medicine. Popular called the “Asian Viagra”, studies have shown that Tongkat Ali supplements can enhance sexual performance.

It has been used in Malaysia for many years by men to increase sexual desire, libido, and to treat erectile dysfunction. In addition, Tongkat Ali has been used to enhance energy levels, endurance and stamina and may reduce occasional mental fatigue.Tongkat Ali appears to work by increasing levels of the hormone testosterone, which is primarily responsible for the growth and development of male reproductive organs, including the penis, testicles, scrotum, prostate, and seminal vesicles. Normal testosterone levels maintain energy level, mood, fertility, and sexual desire.

Tongkat Ali is also used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and strength for its alleged testosterone-enhancing properties. It has therefore been included in some herbal supplements for bodybuilders. Tongkat Ali is safe to be taken on a regular basis and no major side effects have been reported.
