Testosterone-(tongkat ali)🚹

Coach Tish here-

As always lifestyle factors such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition remain foundational.

But there are supplements that can help us optimize our health; adjuncts rather than primary drivers of things such as hormone health.  And one of those supplements is Tongkat Ali. 

Tongkat Ali has been shown to have a potent effect on free testosterone, libido, stress resilience, mood, and athletic performance. There is controlled clinical evidence suggesting benefits for:

• hormone balance under stress + lowering cortisol

• testosterone increases in men with lower testosterone:  It increases free testosterone by reducing SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) resulting in less testosterone getting bound and a greater % remaining free.

• possible improvements in mood and sexual function

Here is what Momentous has to say about this supplement:

Tongkat Ali, also known as Longjack (Eurycoma longifolia), is a traditional Southeast Asian herb known for its ability to support healthy testosterone levels, boost energy, and improve mood. It’s particularly beneficial for men looking to enhance physical performance, muscle growth, and hormonal balance.

Tongkat Ali has also been shown to help regulate stress hormones like cortisol, supporting resilience and recovery during periods of high physical or mental demand. It’s an ideal daily supplement for active individuals seeking natural support for stamina, strength, and overall vitality.

Benefits

• Improves stress hormone profile

• Can help increase total and free testosterone concentrations

• Can help boost energy and mood

• Helps build stronger muscles and accelerate recovery

Function

• Increases testosterone by liberating some that are bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)

• Helps stimulate the production of luteinizing hormone, which helps control testosterone levels

• Improves mood and fights fatigue by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol

• Supplementation may help increase total and free testosterone concentrations and muscular force in men and women

So who is it for?

Based on research Tongkat Ali may be helpful for men with low testosterone or chronic stress. Benefits may include improved hormone balance, lower cortisol, and improved mood in some people. Of course, effects are not guaranteed for everyone — particularly healthy young men with normal hormones. But for others, Tongkat Ali has been hailed for its potent effect on free testosterone, libido, stress resilience, mood, and athletic performance.

Well-controlled studies and meta-analyses testing the supplement alone found results such as ~16% lower cortisol, ~37% higher testosterone status, improved mood (less tension, anger, confusion- this suggests Tongkat Ali may help support hormone balance under stress), and improvement in erectile function in men with lower baseline scores.

 But the best recipe: EXERCISE 💪 In a long-term controlled trial subjects supplementing with 200 mg/day Tongkat Ali plus concurrent training showed significant improvements in erectile function and total testosterone. In context with exercise, Tongkat Ali has substantial, potential benefits.

Important nuance: Hormone effects tend to be modest, variable, and context dependent — stronger in men with lower baseline testosterone or under stress.

• Population differences (age, baseline hormone levels, training status) matter

• Dosage and extract standardization vary widely

• Some studies may lack enough power (sample size) to detect effects

Safety & Dosing Notes

• Common clinical dosing: ~200–400 mg/day of a standardized extract (often 1% eurycomanone).

• Evidence often uses hot-water extracts standardizing active compounds.

• Supplements are not FDA-regulated, so quality/standardization varies.

• Most human trials do not report major adverse effects at typical doses, but dietary supplements can interact with medications and individual responses differ.

The quality and standardization of the extract matter, which is why at EAP we offer Momentous Tongkat Ali.
