Frequently received questions on how to use tongkat ali root extract, along with my answers
Studies show that a six week course of high strength tongkat ali root extract leads to significant increases in total and free testosterone levels leading to increased muscle mass, including bigger biceps, improved sex drive, a higher metabolic rate and body fat reductions!
Below are is a selection of recently received questions relating to using tongkat ali, along with my answers to them. Neither questions nor answers have been altered in any material way.

1. Question:
‘I am 55 in good health. I work 3 days a week from 6:30 to 10:00 and hit the gym every day about 4:30 pm for about 40 mins. Do you think it would be a good idea to take one in the morning when I get up and one 1 hr before i go to the gym. Your thoughts?’
My answer:
‘Whilst you are in good health, studies show that tongkat ali improves energy and mood in men, particularly men who’s steroid hormone levels may have begun to naturally decline due to age. The dosage timings you suggested are ideal for taking tongkat ali.
I personally would try one capsule with breakfast for six days and briefly note down the effects/ changes you feel each day, and take the next three days off. Then try one capsule with breakfast and one capsule one hour before your gym session for the next six days and briefly note down the effects/ changes again, and then again take three days off.
If you feel better taking two capsules then stick with the timings you suggested. If one capsule produces similar effects to two for you then you will only need to take one capsule a day (still cycled six days on three days off).’
Follow up question:
‘I guess I meant to ask, this is the first time I have ever took this type of supplement. Do you think after just 6 days on 3 days off with 1 and then 2 – 6 days on 3 days off i should notice the difference between 1 and 2 in that short period of time?’
My answer:
‘People’s responses to all supplements vary, but yes I would fully expect that you will be able to tell the difference in this short period of time.
Having said this, the effects of tongkat ali are cumulative so, if you do not notice an obvious effect after the six days on one capsule, I would move to two capsules a day and remain on this (cycling it six days on three days off).
Some people notice obvious effects after as long as a few weeks but it is more common to notice an increase in energy and sex drive in just a few days. Increases in strength and muscle growth tend to become apparent after a few weeks.
I previously suggested that you test the effects of one capsule first simply because you stated that you were in good health and therefore one capsule a day may be all that you require.’
2. Question:
‘I’ve seen a number of recommended cycles for Tongkat Ali (longjack). Which do you feel is best? On the extreme side, one article felt one day on, one day off was the best cycle to keep your body from adapting (and Tongkat Ali have minimal future results). Can this happen?’
My answer:
‘I’m not sure why people have become so paranoid about developing a tolerance to Tongkat Ali. I would imagine it’s partially due to the effects of anything becoming more obvious after a period of not taking them. However, this applies to synthetic testosterone patches, creams etc. and even minerals such as zinc, magnesium etc.
The vast majority of studies on tongkat ali have been done on rats and these have shown increased testosterone levels after daily administration, and the studies showing good improvements in libido in men have also administered it daily.
I have seen the test results of people who have used tongkat ali daily for periods of time such as 6 months and have seen significant increases in their testosterone concentration, so I struggle to believe that it becomes completely ineffective if it is not cycled.
However, I have found that the people I’ve recommended take tongkat ali have done well on a 6 days on 3 days off cycle, and then to take a week or two off between 6 to 8 week cycles – I don’t think there is any reason to use it less frequently than this.
I think 1 day on 1 day off would work but not as well as letting it build up in the system over a period of at least a few days of sustained use.’
3. Question:
‘Several questions: 1. what is your phone number? If you have a money back guarantee, how does one get in ouch with you? Secondly, some sell a 50:1 and other a 1:200, why the difference?
What is your recommended dose and procedure for ED issues? Is your product from what country?’
My answer:
‘1:50 and 1:200 are both measures of strength. 1:200 strength tongkat ali is four times more potent than 1:50 strength tongkat ali.
Studies and user experience show that noticeable testosterone level increases occur in men who take at least one, normally two, 600mg strength tongkat ali capsules (if they’re of a high enough quality), but you would have to take many more capsules (which will work out as being more expensive).
For E.D., I would recommend taking two capsules of 600mg tongkat ali per day and cycling 6 days on, 3 days off – if you buy 60 capsules this will last 45 days when cycled in this way.
Tongkat ali is an extremely effective herbal testosterone booster, but E.D. is not always a direct result of low testosterone – psychological issues can be involved or other hormonal imbalances such as high estrogen and/or prolactin may be the root cause of the problem.
For these reasons tongkat ali will not work for absolutely everyone who suffers from E.D. Having said that, I offer a 100 percent money back guarantee on a 60 capsule purchase so you can enjoy a risk free trial to see if tongkat ali works for you’.
4. Question:
‘Hi Ed, I just received my first order of TA. Thanks for the quick delivery. Before I start the course, there are some questions I need to ask. Firstly how soon can I expect to see improvements in muscle mass and body composition?
Since TA produces more free test, does it affect DHT conversion or MPB?
Since TA stimulates the Leydig cells of the testes, which in turn affects the development of the genitals in puberty, will it do the same in adults? I have read that huge amounts would have to be ingested before any effects would start. Is this true?
Would the muscle that is gained through weight training and TA be lost on cessation of the product, and finally does TA inhibit or block damaging estrogen?
I am a bit confused as you can tell, but determined to get the most out of this product, so any help will be appreciated. I must wrap up now and get me self down to gym.’
My answer:
‘Sorry I’ve taken a while to reply but I’ve been abroad for past few days without access to email. In answer to your questions:
– You can expect to see noticeable, significant improvements in muscle mass and body composition in roughly 4 to 6 weeks. How dramatic the improvements are will depend on whether you are a beginner or experienced trainer, what workout regime you’re following etc. But even experienced trainers notice positive results after this length of time.
– TA does significantly increase free testosterone levels so DHT levels will almost certainly rise – the extent to which this rise will occur varies from individual to individual.
In terms of MPB, if you are very sensitive to DHT, TA could potentially cause this to progress, but this is by no means certain.
Anecdotal reports from a number of TA users who were also worried about DHT causing MPB are that TA actually made their hair grow more quickly and thicker. You’ll have to try it and see how it affects you but I would not assume that TA will worsen MPB.
– In terms of TA stimulating the Leydig cells of the testes and this affecting genital growth, TA has been shown to stimulate testosterone production in the testes at the dosages that I recommend.
TA almost always increases the size and fullness of a man’s testicles but I have not heard reports of TA actually increasing penis length or girth if this is what you are asking?
– Regarding your question about whether muscle mass gained will be lost on cessation of the product, this depends on your training.
If a man takes TA and does not do perform weights training during the period that he’s on it, the muscle mass that he will gained through having a significantly higher testosterone level will likely diminish slowly after cessation of the product as his testosterone level drops back down to base line.
But if you perform heavy weights training, TA will have generally improved the amount you can lift and also your ability to build muscle following a weights session. If you eat well etc. after stopping taking TA, you will be able to retain a large amount of the extra muscle mass you will have gained on your ‘TA cycle’.
– Studies do not show that TA blocks estrogen but do show that TA raises testosterone levels without increasing estrogen levels. This is why it is believed to pocess anti-aromatase activity.
TA can, however, slightly raise progesterone and prolactin levels along with significantly increasing testosterone levels, particularly in young men.
I hope the above helps, please get back to me for any more information on the above points. If you are worried about side effects, I would suggest you take one capsule per day rather than two and then cautiously increase to two per day if TA suits you. Bear in mind that you will be able to be gain more muscle mass on two capsules a day than one, however.’
5. Question:
‘Hello Ed, I’m a 55 year old male living in beautiful San Diego, CA. Just did my annual physical everything is normal only my triglycerides are a tad elevated 163/150 being optimum. However my testosterone level register a dismal 376!!!
I do weight training 4 to 5 days a week as a matter of fact I’m benching heavier than at any time in my life!! How to explain that?
But I have noticed a decline in my sex drive.. Could be my lifestyle which is terrible up 1230 nightly home at 1230pm or later!! no sleep really maybe 3 to 4 hours daily unless I’m taking sleeping aids which is an enemy of your libido specially the ones laced with (Diphenhydramine) maybe the reason why my testosterone test came back so low, or could it be boredom?
I have a beautiful young wife of 29 yrs.. even with that there are times when I can’t or don’t want to perform. Other than that everything is ok, I will do a little more research and I’m grateful you have a 60 day guarantee.’
My answer:
‘Thanks for your email. That very low amount of sleep is insufficient for the majority of people and very likely is negatively affecting your testosterone levels.
Problems with sex drive are not always caused by low testosterone levels, factors such as boredom, like you mention, are often involved. But since you have tested your testosterone levels and have found that they are fairly low, I would expect that by raising your testosterone levels back up to a high level your sex drive will improve.
If possible, I would suggest that you try the tongkat ali for at least one 45 day cycle and then re-measure your testosterone levels. Most people experience fairly dramatic increases in testosterone after taking tongkat ali.
Yeah, the guarantee is good because not every product works for every person so its nice to know that you can try tongkat ali risk free,’
6. Question:
‘I have just received a delivery of Tongkat Ali from you, Thanks. I have a quick question about when to take the dosage. At what time of the day should I have the capsule? Should I have it on an empty stomach? Lastly should I split the dosage in half and have one in the morning and one in the afternoon? Your reply would be much appreciated. Thank you.’
My answer:
‘- I would recommend you split your dosage; take one capsule in the morning with breakfast and one with lunch.
– If you are training, take one with breakfast and the other about 20 minutes before your training session rather than with lunch.
– The reason I suggest you take your dosages earlier in the day when possible is purely due to the fact that tongkat ali is an energising herb that could cause you to sleep more lightly if you take it in the evening (not everyone finds this to be a problem, however).
– It will not make a difference whether you take tongkat ali on an empty stomach or with food. I generally recommend people take their supplements with food to minimise any possible digestive issues that can occur when taking some supplements without food.’
