“There are other supplements, in particular, Tongkat Ali, which is known to increase free testosterone by reducing sex hormone binding globulin. Tongkat Ali can be beneficial both for men and for women in dosages anywhere from 200 milligrams to 600 milligrams per day.”
“To my knowledge, Tongkat Ali does not need to be cycled, meaning you don't have to take periods of time off from it. I should note that the effects of Tongkat Ali can take a little bit longer to experience. So perhaps blood work should be done eight to 12 weeks after initiating the Tongkat Ali protocol as opposed to earlier.”
“We can talk about things that affect the steroidogenesis cascade. So we could touch on Tongkat Ali. I know we've talked about that a little bit before. Yeah, but I'm guessing a number of people probably haven't heard that conversation. Also known as LongJack, and that upregulates several different enzymes in the steroidogenesis cascade.”
“But Tongkat helps with the conversion of multiple key steps where you synthesize testosterone. Another, think of it as like a coenzyme or a cofactor, an upregulator of these steps is insulin and IGF-1.”
“What sorts of dosages of Tongkat do you recommend to your patients? Anywhere from 300 to 1200 milligrams a day. With Tongkat, you need to be careful with the standardization because, and if you're thinking about a general Tongkat supplement, which is byfar the most well-studied, then you're looking at the Eurycomanone content”
“Tongkat Ali another very notable one this is one that um works for a different mechanism. It seems to be a bit more speculative how it works but it seems to do a few things potentially”
“extract you get you want to look for one that is HPLC tested for Eurycomanone that's the active ingredient in Tongkat Ali that actually has the bioactive effect that you're looking for There are a lot of Tongkat Ali supplements that just say Tongkat Ali or”
“Eurycomanone. Got it. and e-u-r-y-a-c-o-m-a-n-o-n-e i think. Now how does Tongkat Ali compared to like boron is it i mean it sounds like for men it might be like you're getting a bigger bang”
“affect the SHBG binding complex like i would be trying to i might misremember and i don't want to misspeak so okay well yeah it's just kind of interesting but would would the Tongkat Ali work in women as well just through the SHBG or maybe the boron like i don't know which if just for off like off the you know topic here boron”
“And then the Tongkat is like more of a speculative one that you don't want to just like take until you've exhausted some of the other options, but is like the more exotic kind of like hammer that you might want to take to the situation if it's like your last resort before, you know, I've tried everything, my lifestyle is perfect, my diet's dialed, my”
“I guess for impact, I would probably say like Tongkat Ali, but probably boron would be my safer next choice just for like safety profile. Okay. Great. Unless, and then if you're like the anxious person adding ashwagandha and just be like cognizant of what it's, how it works.”
“some, you know, some of these other like augmenting, you know, steroidogenic supporting things like Tongkat or whatever. But if that's not working either, like your testes are cooked and you got to be on test at that point because you're just not responding to any natural stimulation whatsoever.”
