What are the benefits of Tongkat Ali?

Tongkat Ali, also known as Eurycoma longifolia, has been discussed in the Huberman Lab for several potential benefits:

1. Hormonal Balance: Tongkat Ali is known to increase free testosterone levels by reducing sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). This effect can lead to a significant increase in libido and can be beneficial for both men and women 1 2.

2. Fertility Enhancement: The increase in androgen levels through Tongkat Ali supplementation may also lead to improved spermatogenesis, enhancing fertility in men 2.

3. Potential Neural Effects: The compound may also have cumulative effects on libido, suggesting it could influence neural pathways rather than just hormonal ones 1.

4. Female Benefits: For women, Tongkat Ali can be particularly useful in cases of hyperestrogenism, helping to balance hormone levels without the need for cycling 3.
