Performance
Tongkat Ali has been used in Malaysia for many years by men to increase sexual desire, libido, sexual performance and to treat erectile dysfunction.
This effect appears to be possible because of Tongkat Ali's ability to increase levels of hormone testosterone. Testosterone is mainly responsible for the growth and development of male reproductive organs. Normal testosterone levels maintain energy level, mood, fertility and sexual desire.
There have been few studies on the effect of Tongkat Ali on the sexual behavior of male rats, which support its folk use as an aphrodisiac. All studies indicateed a increase in the rat's sexual activity.
In an experiment coducted on male rats, it was found that tongat ali increases the sperm count and plasma testosterone of the rats.
Users of Tongkat Ali reported effects that include increase in sex drive and libido, harder and longer-lasting erection, muscle gain, weight loss, along with an overall increase in energy and felling more 'positive about life'.
Due to these effects of Tingkat Ali on men, it was dubbed as the "Asian Viagra" in a May 1999 report in New Sunday Times.
