The traditional use of Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack)—alongside contemporary scientific research—supports its reputation as "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac."

Tongkat Ali is both an adaptogenic and tonic herb, renowned not only for its therapeutic properties but also for its role as a proandrogenic herb.*

As a proandrogenic herb, research indicates that Tongkat Ali stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axes, leading to increased natural (endogenous) testosterone production.* Additionally, Tongkat Ali may possess anti-aromatase properties, potentially raising free testosterone levels while reducing estradiol levels.*

Our Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract is expertly formulated using a full potency, full-spectrum Tongkat Ali at a 200:1 concentration, along with a highly purified, isolated Eurycomanone extract.* To enhance absorption, we have incorporated Piperine, a compound extracted from Black Pepper Fruit (Piper nigrum).*

This unique combination allows us to fully unlock the potential of one of our all-time favorite proandrogenic herbs.*

Key Features:

• Made with select, choice, wild-harvested Eurycoma longifolia Jack—the only authentic Tongkat Ali available.
• Contains the most potent broad-spectrum Tongkat Ali extract, ensuring maximum potency, purity, and quality.
• Fortified with the highly sought-after isolated Eurycomanone (standardized to 2%), the primary compound responsible for Tongkat Ali's proandrogenic effects.*
• Provides unparalleled support for maintaining healthy and optimal testosterone levels.*
• Enhanced with Piperine, an extract of Black Pepper (Piper nigrum), shown to increase the bioavailability of certain compounds by up to 20-fold (2000%).* Piperine is also noted for its potential exercise-mimetic effects.*
• Domestically produced in an NSF, GMP-registered, and certified organic facility, ensuring the highest standards of quality and purity.

Who is Tongkat Ali For?

Tongkat Ali is an ideal herb for individuals interested in increasing their testosterone levels, which may have declined due to illness, aging, or other factors.*

Tongkat Ali is a potent proandrogenic herb that supports healthy testosterone levels.* Utilizing proandrogenic herbs to address low testosterone is not about promoting hyper-masculinity; instead, it focuses on promoting overall well-being, quality of life, and healthy aging.*

Who Isn't Tongkat Ali For?

Tongkat Ali is not suitable for those seeking a "quick fix." The benefits of Tongkat Ali as an adaptogenic and tonic herb manifest with regular and consistent use.*

Tongkat Ali does not supplement the body with testosterone; instead, it works in conjunction with the body to enhance its own (endogenous) testosterone production.* This process takes time.

Tongkat Ali is well-suited for those looking for a natural approach to promote health and wellness.*

The Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Formula

To understand what sets this formula apart, let's examine its ingredients:

Tongkat Ali Extract (200:1 Concentration)

Tongkat Ali offers much more than its proandrogenic properties.* Rather than viewing Tongkat Ali solely as a proandrogenic herb with adaptogenic and tonic qualities, it should be recognized as an adaptogenic and tonic herb with potent proandrogenic properties.*

To unlock the full potential of Tongkat Ali as an adaptogen and tonic herb, and to provide a comprehensive range of benefits, we utilize a full potency, full-spectrum extract of authentic, wild-harvested Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack).* A full-spectrum extraction ensures the availability of a wide range of benefits.

Isolated Eurycomanone

Authentic Tongkat Ali contains a class of therapeutic compounds known as quassinoids, with over 60 quassinoids identified in Tongkat Ali.* Researchers have noted the potential therapeutic applications of these quassinoids, including anti-cancer properties, antiviral effects, and anti-inflammatory benefits.* It is important to note that while research suggests these properties, we do not claim that Tongkat Ali—or any herb—can or should be used to prevent or treat any disease, including cancer.*

One of the quassinoids identified in Tongkat Ali is Eurycomanone. Eurycomanone plays a pivotal role in Tongkat Ali's proandrogenic benefits.* However, the unprocessed Tongkat Ali roots contain Eurycomanone in levels too small and insignificant to deliver therapeutic benefits.*

To address the naturally occurring low levels of therapeutic quassinoids found in Tongkat Ali and provide unparalleled support, our Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract combines a potent full-spectrum (200:1) Tongkat Ali extract with an Eurycomanone extract standardized to 2%.* This unique combination optimizes the broad benefits of Tongkat Ali while maximizing its specific proandrogenic effects.*

Piperine

Piperine is a compound found in Black Pepper Fruit (Piper nigrum). In this formula, Piperine serves two primary functions as a phytotherapeutic:*

1. Piperine enhances the absorption of other herbs, such as turmeric, by up to 2000%.*
2. Piperine acts as an exercise mimetic, meaning it can replicate some of the benefits of physical exercise.*

The recommended dosage of Piperine is between 10 and 20 milligrams. Each serving of this formula contains 20 milligrams of Piperine, which accounts for only 4.17% of the total ingredients. This ensures you can enjoy all the benefits without compromising the overall amount of Tongkat Ali.*

Key Benefits Associated with Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali offers far more than its exceptional proandrogenic properties. By solely focusing on its proandrogenic aspect, we fail to appreciate the full range of benefits this herb provides.*

Contemporary scientific research highlights the significance of Tongkat Ali's longstanding traditional uses, reinforcing its esteemed reputation. As research progresses, Tongkat Ali continues to unveil its vast potential beyond its ethnobotanical history.

This extensive range of benefits is precisely why we strongly advocate for the utilization of a comprehensive, full-spectrum Tongkat Ali extract.*

Presently, the predominant attention on Tongkat Ali revolves around the following potential benefits and applications:

• Supporting Androgenic Hormone Production: Enhances the body's natural (endogenous) production of androgenic hormones, including testosterone.*
• Promoting Lean Muscle Mass: Supports the development of lean muscle mass, enhancing physical strength and energy.*
• Assisting Male Reproductive Health: Contributes to the improvement of male reproductive health.*
• Increasing Libido and Desire: Elevates levels of testosterone and the neurotransmitter dopamine, thereby enhancing libido and desire.*
• Regulating Cortisol Levels: Regulates the hormone cortisol, thereby improving the body's response to stress (adaptogenic effect).*
• Enhancing Blood Flow: Improves blood circulation.*
• Boosting Cognitive Function: Enhances cognitive abilities.*

Laboratory research has indicated that authentic Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) possesses anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties, demonstrating beneficial effects against prostate cancer cells.* It is crucial to emphasize that Tongkat Ali, or any product, is not claimed to be a preventive or cure for cancer.*

Traditionally utilized in Indonesia as an aphrodisiac, tonic herb, and folk remedy for various tropical diseases, Tongkat Ali continues to be a valuable herb in modern herbal practices.*

Tongkat Ali: An In-depth Analysis

What is Tongkat Ali?

Tongkat Ali is a traditional phytotherapeutic medicine native to Southeast Asia, also known as Pasak Bumi or Longjack. The botanical name for Tongkat Ali is Eurycoma longifolia Jack.*

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) originates from Southeast Asia, specifically Indochina, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo, and Sumatra.* The medicinal properties of Tongkat Ali are derived from the bark of its roots.

There are two other plants often mislabeled as Tongkat Ali: Black Tongkat Ali and Red Tongkat Ali. The authentic Tongkat Ali plant, botanically known as Eurycoma longifolia Jack, should be distinguished from these mislabeled plants.*

To avoid confusion between authentic Tongkat Ali and other plants, we exclusively use the name Tongkat Ali to refer to Eurycoma longifolia Jack unless specifically addressing the misidentification issue.*

Understanding the Colors of Tongkat Ali

Some classify Tongkat Ali based on color, and understanding the origins of these classifications can help identify authentic Tongkat Ali.

Why is the Distinction Important?

Differentiating authentic Tongkat Ali—Eurycoma longifolia Jack—is crucial because its historical use as a beneficial phytotherapeutic herb and the substantial body of contemporary research supporting its benefits are exclusive to Tongkat Ali from Eurycoma longifolia Jack.*

The most commonly misidentified plant as Tongkat Ali is Polyalthia bullata, often referred to as Black Tongkat Ali or Pasak Mubi. Polyalthia bullata bears no botanical relationship to Eurycoma longifolia Jack. While Polyalthia bullata may possess phytotherapeutic potential, it should not be misidentified as Tongkat Ali from Eurycoma longifolia Jack.*

White Tongkat Ali and Yellow Tongkat Ali

White Tongkat Ali and Yellow Tongkat Ali refer to the botanically correct Tongkat Ali: Eurycoma longifolia Jack. The beneficial properties of Tongkat Ali are derived from the light-colored bark of its roots, resulting in a yellowish extract.*

In Malay (the language of Malaysia) and Indonesian, authentic Tongkat Ali is known as Bedara Putih and Pasak Bumi Kuning. "Putih" translates to "white," and "Kuning" translates to "yellow."

Black Tongkat Ali

Black Tongkat Ali refers to the plant Polyalthia bullata, which, as previously mentioned, is not botanically related to Eurycoma longifolia Jack. While it may have some phytotherapeutic benefits, it lacks the extensive historical use and scientific evidence that Tongkat Ali from Eurycoma longifolia Jack possesses.*

In Malay and Indonesian, Black Tongkat Ali is known as Pasak Bumi Hitam. "Hitam" translates to "black."

Red Tongkat Ali

Very little is known about Red Tongkat Ali, and there is no botanical name available for it. The closest identification we have for Red Tongkat Ali is Stema tuberosa, which is sometimes found for sale on the internet. However, there is no such plant.*

There is a plant called Stemona tuberosa, which is used therapeutically in Chinese medicine. Stemona tuberosa, known as Bai Bu (Hundred Parts), is used for parasite treatment and to moisturize the lungs and relieve coughing.*

In Malay and Indonesian, Red Tongkat Ali is referred to as Pasak Bumi Merah. "Merah" translates to "red."

Further research is required to determine if the plant exists and its safety and effectiveness before any assessments can be made. Our search yielded no scientific or research entries for "Stema tuberosa" or "Pasak Bumi Merah," except for a single entry in the National Institutes of Health database discussing the use of authentic Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) as an alternative treatment to pharmaceutical testosterone replacement therapy in the treatment of osteoporosis. This paper does not mention Black or Red Tongkat Ali.*

Quassinoids: The Active Compounds of Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) contains several therapeutic quassinoid compounds that have been isolated and identified. These quassinoids offer various positive benefits to the body.*

Research on the isolated quassinoids in Tongkat Ali demonstrates the herb's broad range of benefits, including potential anti-tumor, antiviral, antifeedant, antiamoebic, and anti-inflammatory properties.* Additionally, it highlights the proandrogenic properties of Tongkat Ali.*

Tongkat Ali contains 65 known and identified compounds, including:

• Beta-carboline alkaloids
• Eurycomalactone
• Eurycomanone
• Eurycomaoside*

Tongkat Ali, Eurycomanone, and Testosterone

Does Tongkat Ali Increase Testosterone?

One notable quassinoid found in Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) is Eurycomanone, which plays a significant role in the herb's proandrogenic properties.*

Comprehensive research indicates that Eurycomanone is responsible for the proandrogenic effects of Tongkat Ali.*

In a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, researchers state:

The researchers conclude:

In summary, the study found that Eurycomanone in Tongkat Ali increased testosterone levels and sperm production. It achieved this by stimulating the body's own testosterone production through the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts testosterone into estradiol (E2).*

This research indicates two distinct proandrogenic properties of Tongkat Ali:

1. Increase in testosterone production.*
2. Increase in levels of free (active) testosterone by preventing the conversion of testosterone into estradiol.*

The significance and uniqueness of these dual properties, as well as the essential nature of Tongkat Ali as a proandrogenic herb, cannot be emphasized enough.*

The Neurotransmitter of Desire: Tongkat Ali, Libido, and Dopamine

Does Tongkat Ali Increase Libido?

Both in herbal medicine circles and academic research, the effects of Tongkat Ali on promoting libido are widely recognized and acknowledged.* While the positive effects of Tongkat Ali on male sex hormones have long been known, it was previously assumed that Tongkat Ali influenced libido solely by increasing testosterone levels.* Undoubtedly, there is a connection between Tongkat Ali, sex hormone levels, and sexual desire.

However, there is more to the story—dopamine.

Dopamine is often regarded as the reward neurotransmitter. It enhances the pleasure we experience from the first bite of food, the satisfaction of achieving a goal, and overall feelings of accomplishment. But dopamine can be better understood as the neurotransmitter of desire. It not only rewards us for achieving a goal; it motivates us to pursue that goal. Without dopamine, we lack drive, motivation, and desire. Libido is rooted in desire.

The scientific evidence supporting the relationship between Tongkat Ali and dopamine is compelling, as researchers state:

This implies that Tongkat Ali, in addition to its impact on testosterone levels, has been shown to increase dopamine levels, which in turn leads to heightened libido.*
