Tongkat ali?

anyone tried this herb?

A frind of mine told me he takes it and it gives him a ‘mental’ sex drive. He said he gets a raging boner from just looking at his partner and that the orgasm on it is ‘out of this world’. He reckons he feels the effects of it ‘straight away’ and that it makes him ‘feel 14 again’!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have any experience?
also, anyone know where to get it? he gets his from the net but couldnt remember the website address!

Thanks as always guys

Yeah I tried tongkat ali.

It’s best to buy a 50:1 or 100:1 extract. I used Source Naturals LJ100 tongkat ali. It’s expensive but it worked very well when I took it.

You can buy it from various online vitamin stores but most of them are based in the US.

The only European wesbites I found that sell this herb are the two below but I don’t know if the tongkat ali they sell is as good as the one from Source Naturals because I haven’t tried it. These two website have more tongkat ali per capsule however and both their tongkat ali products are sold as extracts so they might well be of good quality.

Also check out the thread below, I posted my experience with this herb here:

Tongkat Ali?

thanks bud :)

What is all this 50:1 stuff? the ones on those sites sell it at 20:1 - what does this actually mean? is 50:1 ‘more’ than 20:1?

also why is better to get ‘extract’?

thanks man

WI, an extract contains standardized active constituents of the herb and is way better and much more concentrated than raw herb powder.

With regards to the 100:1, 50:1, etc types of extracts…
For example to make a 100:1 extract they need to use 100 parts of raw powder to make 1 part of concentrated extract. It’s like saying they use 100 pounds of raw herbal powder and from those 100 pounds they extract 1 pound of concentrated substances to make the extract. In this case 100mg of herbal extract will be equivalent to 1000mg of the raw herb. Got it?

100:1 should be more potent than 50:1 but a 50:1 extract can still be very good if it is extracted properly.

The extraction process will also remove impurities from the herb and stuff that you don’t need, stuff that you would otherwise find in raw herbal powder.

So basically when taking an extract you are getting the concentrated herb with all its active constituents and you can take much less to get results

thanks joystick, I appreciate your help. I’ve just ordered some which is 50:1 in order to err on the side of caution. I dont want to be turning into a mad sex fiend straight away!!

thanks bud

in fact, here is the link to it -

it says it is 1:50 , not 50:1 - does this mean I’ve dropped a booboo and bought a really shit one?

thanks again

That supplement looks good, it’s 1:50 (same thing as 50:1).

You’ve got 400mg per capsules so that’s a lot you’re getting there. Didn’t know about that website, I’ll have to bookmark it!

Hope it works for you man! It doesn’t work for everyone but it sure did for me

Oh yeah, the only side effect I got from tongkat was that I wouldn’t be able to sleep well if I took it before bed, so I took it in the morning. Another thing you should do, since this herb is a diuretic, is drink a sufficient amount of water

cheers mate. Is it ok to take it alongside Tribulus (another one I’m gonna be trying soon!)?

If I were you I’d take one thing at a time to see which supplement is doing what. Both tongkat ali and tribulus are said to increase testosterone levels so personally I see no real need for you to take them both at the same time. You also wouldn’t want to mess too much with your hormones man.

If tongkat ali works for you and you decide to take it long-term, remember to take a 2-week break from it every 6 to 8 weeks

Tongkat Ali.. Former feline companion of Cassius Clay!

gotta say, it’s done absolutely nothing at all (+ or -) so far after a good 6 days on it. Have been taking 1.2gms in the am and 1.2gms in the mid afternoon.

Looks like another load of rubbish to me………….

I have been taking a brand of tongkat ali called ‘Red Kat’ for a few days. It gave me some palpitations and anxiety, but no change in libido. Anybody has had these side effects before?
