Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates the effects of a standardized water-soluble extract of Tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia) as a testosterone booster for men with late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), showing significant improvements in symptoms and testosterone levels after one month of treatment.
  • Results indicated a marked decrease in symptoms based on the AMS score and an increase in serum testosterone concentrations, with a majority of patients showing normal levels post-treatment.
  • The findings suggest that Tongkat ali extract could be a helpful supplement for managing LOH and reducing related symptoms, although more human studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Another one on clinically hypogonadic males over age 30: https://t.co/LyaFRgWU8u "A 46% increase in testosterone was seen in clinically hypogonadic men, with normal men not tested and no placebo control. 200mg water extract of Eurycoma was used for 1 months time."

@JackG3991 With that said there’s plenty of studies to back Tongkat up Keep in mind most of these are likely using shitty extracts without standardized bioactive amounts https://t.co/gptJ2Sp2mY

2. Tongkat Ali The supplement of the moment. It stimulated the production of LH through estrogen blockage. Additionally it also helps by reducing stress, through a reduction of cortisol production. https://t.co/ifgHzV8NQd https://t.co/x66EeDJqPx
