Tongkat Ali is also known as Eurycoma Longifolia Jack or Pasak Bumi. It is a very rare herb, and you can only find it in Indonesia. It grows wild there in the untouched tropical rain forest. By using Tongkat Ali, you can gradually restore your testosterone level to be as it was when you were young. Literally Tongkat Ali means “Ali’s walking stick”, used in Malaysia for many years by middle aged men, to increase sexual desire, libido and sexual performance, and to treat erectile dysfunction.
Indeed, Tongkat Ali lets you derive the advantages of increased testosterone with none of the complications caused by taking testosterone orally.
The amount of free testosterone is increased naturally with Tongkat Ali. Much of your body’s testosterone is bound by the SHBG protein (this is the sex hormone binding globulin).
SHBG bounded testosterone has been considered ineffective. Free testosterone is the only thing that is known to demonstrate the desired effects as an androgenic hormone. It has the effect of enhancing libido both physiologically and mentally by masculinizing and sexualizing, with anabolic effects as well (tissue enhancing, primarily muscle tissues). That is why Eurycoma Longifolia Jack is recently used also by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and strength.
The process whereby Tongkat Ali raises free testosterone levels is not yet understood. One possible explanation is that Tongkat Ali’s ingredients prevent SHBG from capturing free testosterone.
Whatsoever the reason might be, it is absolutely true that, if you take the right amount of Tongkat Ali, your testosterone level will increase. Here is what happens when your testosterone level is increased:
- Your sex drive and libido are raised.
- Your erection will be longer, harder and more spontaneous.
- Your muscle mass and strength will increase.
- You will experience increased energy and vitality.
- Your bone mineral density will increase.
- You will gain a sense of well being.
- Your cognitive functioning will improve.
In Indonesia, where Tongkat Ali is called Pasak Bumi, only older plants are collected for medicinal use. Roots which are less than ten years old are considered ineffective.

It is plain and simple: No where in the world are plantations where Tongkat Ali has been grown for at least ten years. Over-harvesting of the wild Tongkat Ali shrub has almost completely eliminated this plant from the forests from Malaysia. That is why recently Eurycoma Longifolia was declared a protected plant in Malaysia.
