Increase in testosterone levels
One of the biggest reasons that so many guys are using tongkat ali extract is because of its ability to increase testoterone levels. Tongkat ali will indeed give you a large boost in testosterone, but thankfully not in the way that most testosterone boosters do.
While most synthetic testosterone boosters increase the amount of testosterone being produced by your Leydig cells (which in turn causes them to eventually stop producing testosterone), tongkat ali actually boosts your amount of Leydig cells you have while also helping your body use it’s natural amount of hormones more effectively. The result, no rebound effect and epic testosterone levels.
There is a hormone in your body called SHGB (sex hormone-binding globulin) which does exactly what it is named for. It binds to your sex hormone, testosterone, and renders it inert. Along with increasing Leydig production, what tongkat ali extract does is release this bind and lower your levels of SHGB so that your body can use more of it’s natural free testosterone. This wards off the fear of your body producing less sex hormones over time, like it does with most testosterone boosters. This is one of the main reasons why the longer you use tongkat ali extract, the bigger the boost in free testosterone you will have.
Mood & wellbeing enhancement
First is that tongkat ali extract has been proven to provide a mood enhancement and a boost in wellbeing.
Studies:
In a study on tongkat ali’s effect on stress hormones and psychological mood state in moderately stressed subjects, the tongkat ali group was found to have an 11% decrease in tension, a 12% decrease in anger, and a 15% decrease in confusion.
It is also important to note that in this study, the same group was recorded to have reduced cortisol exposure (−16%) and increased testosterone status (+37%).
Anxiety Remedy
A recent study found that this plant is an effective remedy for anxiety . In fact, this study showed that TA produces similar anxiolytic effects as those produced by diazepam.
Muscle Gain an Fat Loss
For the athletes, if you are not interested in the sex part, which you probably still are, tongkat ali extract also has been shown to increase muscle and boost fat loss.
It is common sense that when your cortisol drops and your testosterone rises, you are going to shred fat and lean up. You are putting your body in the perfect muscle man homeostasis.
Also, this boost in testosterone and reduction in cortisol will benefit anyone who is under intense stress.
Anti-bacterial Characteristics
Acetone and alcoholic extracts from the Malaysian ginseng leaves and stem have potent antibacterial agents, according to the results of recent studies. Extracts used in this study were effective against Staphylococcus, Serratia marscesens, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi bacteria strains.
Athletic Performance
I am inclined to say that tongkat ali will help athletic performance. The increase in test and the energy boost will no doubt make you a beast on the field. But I also want to say that it is known to increase your heart rate and body temperature, so it may not be the best combo for people doing intense aerobic training on a hot day.
