Tongkat Ali experience and questions

So I got an order of Tongkat Ali, 1:50 800mg capsules from http://newlifea … ternatives.com/ as they were stated to have good quality. I’m on my 3rd day.

First day my wife split open a pill to see what it was all about. First thing noted is that it did not have the bitter taste so many people talk about. It tasted like nothing, maybe a bit like soil, but otherwise very neutral flavor.

So I ended up taking about half the opened pill and an additional pill that first day. Took two pills yesterday. Just took two this morning. Yesterday I added a gram of tribulus in the afternoon as well. I can’t say I’ve felt any different.

How quickly did everyone feel the effects, like first day? If it’s not bitter, is it no good?

My wife (an RN) told me in no uncertain terms that I’m crazy if I think I have low testosterone. I think mostly she’s referring to my extremely high libido, very competitive nature, and overall general aggressive nature. Thing is, I’m 35 next month so I know my levels have to be dropping, and I’ve been having erection issues for a while now. I’m starting to wonder though, with my libido so high, if the erection issue isn’t psychological.

Anyway, any feedback/info here would be helpful.

I’ve read that you have to take it for months before it begins working. The price is simply absurd, IMHO.

It will work in a week if it’s not a fake; Tongkat has a very bitter taste for sure!

You can have your test level check to see how you stand. Although, your level will drop by 1 % every year after you are 30 years old, but stress and other environmental and dietary conditions can make it worst ( > 1 %).

If your Tongkat Ali (TA) doesn’t taste nasty then it’s fake. Call the merchant and complain about the quality.

You should start seeing results after 3-4 days, but make sure you circle your dosage, like 4 days on 3 days off or 5 days on 2 days off depending on what works for you. You also need to take between 600 - 1200 mg per day of the authentic TA extract to see results.

I just ended a tribulus and to Tongkat cycle, 2000mg: 400mg 2x a day. I can tell you from experience that it does work, mainly by freeing up testosterone levels in the body but only in conjunction with an descent diet and workout program. You shouldn’t knowtice and hormonal problems such as shorter temper as you would with tribulus. In fact I knowticed an almost euphoric response on zone days which made me want to stay on this stuff. However, you need to cycle on for 4-6 weeks and off for 4-6 weeks and also have a blood test taken for liver enzymes. And yes I too knowticed the sweet almost tea leaf flavor. Hope this helped!

Tribulus give a bad temper?

Hmmm. I got it from a seller highly recommended by various users here, who ensures me it’s directly from the big name in Malaysia. Been taking 1600mg last two days.

So what do I say to her? Hey, this stuff doesn’t taste nasty enough?

For me it took about 5 days to kick in. As I understand it helps raises free testosterone (not total testosterone, but free test).

I will tell you that it has a very very nasty taste. I use another vendor, cheaper to get in powder rather than capsule form. I mix it with coffee, it has a REALLY NASTY TASTE. Awful.

I don’t think you should take it all the time, seems best if you cycle it.

On another issue:

Sounds like you are fine. But it is a good idea to get tested now.

Why? Because if there is ever any issue with low testosterone later, you will have a BASELINE reading for you and your doctor to work with to get the HRT dosage set properly. If not, it is mostly trial and error.

I’d recommend this to any guy.

Tongkat is tooooooooo expensive.I want to try it but went from clomid instead from alldaychemist. Plus they are cheap.. I also tried hcg for 3 weeks. Good stuff get your testosterone levels back up. And all you need to do is cycle it. 3 weeks on hcg, then 4 weeks on clomid then a month off..

I hear tongkat give you big balls?

I have suffered from ED for more than 15 years as a result of diabetes. I have tried most of the supplements you can think of with not much success until I came across Maxidus, a compound consisting primarily of Eurycoma longifolia (AKA Tongkat Ali) plus 5 or 6 other herbs. In the past, I sometimes needed 100mg of Viagra; however, I can now take one Maxidus pill five hours before sex and another pill 30 minutes before sex and I can usually get a 7.5 - 8.5 erection which I can improve to a 9 - 9.5 with pumping and/ or 25 mg of Viagra.

I have been using Maxidus for several years now (2 or 3 times a week) so I don’t know if there is a cumulative effect, but I can get satisfactory results after five hours if I take a second “booster” pill 30 minutes in advance of sex. I have tried Eurycoma longifolia (TA) on its own, but with less satisfying results.

I recently started using a testosterone gel to boost my T level and now I don’t need Viagra, just Maxidus. Could be PE helped too.
