The 7 Wonders of Tongkat Ali

For a considerable length of time, the natives of the South East Asian countries where Tongkat Ali grows in the wild have recognized the astounding benefits of this herb and used it as an aphrodisiac, antioxidant and a medicinal herb. Its reputation has spread all over the world leading to the strong demand of this herb as well as a variety of studies to test and validate its benefits. Here are some of the scientifically verified Tongkat Ali benefits.

1. Anti-Cancer Characteristics

Studies have shown that Tongkat Ali contains some chemicals that fight the growth of cancer cells and even kills them. In two independent scientific studies by the Anticancer Research and The Journal of Natural Products, Tongkat Ali extracts exhibited anti-cancer properties by killing cancer cells.

2. Improves Sexual Performance

Tongkat Ali has chemicals that stimulate the release of the male hormone testosterone. The result is increased sexual libido, increased desire for sex, increased stamina and enhanced sexual performance. This confirms why the indigenes in the countries where this herb grows have used it as an aphrodisiac. In the modern world, it is mixed with other ingredients in capsule form and taken as a remedy for low libido.

3. Builds Muscle Mass

By raising the level of testosterone, Tongkat Ali promotes muscle growth and strength by increasing the results gained from exercise and improving the recovery time. In a British Journal of Sports Medicine identified it as having anabolic effects while another scientific study found that taking a supplement containing Tongkat Ali when following by a weight-training program leads to a higher gain in muscle mass and fat loss. Bodybuilders and other athletes make use of Tongkat Ali extracts to boost their results and athletic performance.

4. Increased Energy Levels

Taking Tongkat Ali boosts metabolism and blood circulation, which generates heat in the body, and boosts energy levels by stimulating ATP, an energy production chemical in the body. When used in the right amount, the energy gain is a positive effect that can increase one’s productivity and decrease fatigue. Please note that taking too much is known to cause restlessness, fatigue, and insomnia.

5. Antioxidant Characteristics

Studies show that Tongkat Ali contains antioxidant enzymes. Oxidative elements (free radicals) destroy living cells and can lead to infections in the body. The antioxidant properties make it an effective support for ulcers, malaria, and diarrhoea. Taking Tongkat Ali can also lead to an improved sense of general well being.

6. Elevated testosterone production

Testosterone is the male hormone that regulates the growth and development of sexual organs and regulates sexual functions. With age, this hormone decreases leading to diminished sexual function, bone mineral density loss, diminishing cognitive functions, and poor cardiovascular health. Taking Tongkat Ali has shown to help reverses this decline and improves cardiovascular health, cognitive function, bone mineral density.

7. Medicinal Benefits

The indigenous communities used this herb to treat malaria and other diseases effectively. Some researches have shown that Tongkat Ali contains elements that have anti-malaria, fever relieving and other medicinal benefits that reduce the effect of diseases and promote better health and wellbeing.

It is apparent that Tongkat Ali is a herb with many benefits. Nevertheless, these benefits can only be experienced by taking the suggested dosage. Taking it in excess can cause side effects such as insomnia, aggression and an impaired immune system. It can also have health risks for pregnant or nursing women, children and people with systematic disease so please ensure you read about any precautions surrounding the use of Tongkat Ali.
