Tongkat Ali benefits

Tongkat Ali is known for its potential benefits related to hormonal balance and sexual health. Here are some key points discussed by Andrew Huberman on the Huberman Lab:

1. Increases Free Testosterone: Tongkat Ali may increase free testosterone levels by reducing sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), potentially enhancing libido and vitality in both men and women 1 2.

2. Libido Enhancement: The supplement is associated with a boost in libido, possibly influenced by its effects on dopamine pathways and testosterone pathways. This effect can be beneficial for both males and females 3 4.

3. Fertility Support: For males, Tongkat Ali is suggested to improve spermatogenesis indirectly by increasing androgen levels 5.

4. Cumulative Effects and Safety: The effects of Tongkat Ali might take a while to manifest and may involve neural pathways rather than solely hormonal changes. It generally doesn't require cycling, making it suitable for long-term use if managed properly 1 5.

5. Dosage and Response: Typical dosages vary from 200 to 600 mg, adjusted based on body size and individual effectiveness. However, responses can vary, especially depending on initial hormonal levels in individuals 1 5.

It is recommended to monitor blood work to track the supplement's effectiveness, and consulting with a healthcare provider is advised when considering its use 3.
