What our consultants would suggest

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is the most-researched natural adaptogen for testosterone support — the evidence base goes back to Malaysian traditional medicine and has grown rapidly in modern clinical trials.

Our consultants would point most men 35+ at a standardised Tongkat Ali extract at 200–400mg daily, taken in the morning. Cycle it (8 weeks on, 1 week off) and pair with zinc glycinate and resistance training for the strongest effect. It's not a quick fix — give it 8–12 weeks.

Common questions

How does Tongkat Ali work?

It increases free testosterone by reducing sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) — the protein that locks T away. The effect builds over 4–8 weeks of consistent dosing. Best paired with sleep, training and adequate zinc.

Should I take Tongkat Ali daily?

Yes, with cycling. Most clinical research uses 200–400mg daily for 8 weeks, then 1 week off. This keeps your adrenal sensitivity healthy and avoids tolerance.

Side effects of Tongkat Ali?

Generally well-tolerated. Some people report mild stomach upset or restlessness if taken late in the day — take it with breakfast. Diagnosed prostate cancer or BPH? Don't supplement without your urologist's sign-off.

Tongkat Ali for women?

Some early evidence supports use in post-menopausal women for libido and energy, but the data is less developed. WhatsApp our consultants if you're considering it — we'll talk you through what we know.
