Tongkat Ali is used in Southeast Asia as a traditional herbal remedy to treat male impotence, fatigue and even some infections.

Aphrodisiac effect

According to proponents, tongkat ali extract can help improve your sex life, whether you’re a man or a woman. This plant is said to have an aphrodisiac effect that increases your cravings.

But what does science say? It has been observed that certain proteins in Malaysian ginseng can influence sexual behavior in animals. In addition, eurypeptides increase testosterone production in certain rat experiments. All of this seems to have an aphrodisiac effect.

All in all, tongkat ali shows great potential as an aphrodisiac but more studies are needed before you can be sure of its effectiveness in humans.

Increased potency

If you look at the most recent scientific studies, you see that tongkat ali is indeed able to increase the frequency and quality of erections in experimental animals. However, human studies are still needed before you can be sure that this effect occurs in humans.

Antimicrobial effect

Can tongkat ali fight infection? Surprisingly, several studies have found that extracts from this plant can destroy bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

However, more studies are needed before Malaysian ginseng can be used as an antibiotic. Do not use Malaysian ginseng to cure, treat, or prevent infection. Go to your nearest health center if you think you may be suffering from a disease caused by microorganisms.

Anti-aging effect

Eurycoma has been shown to maintain bone mass and improve muscle development in aged mice. Also, the plant’s ingredients contain high levels of polyphenols, molecules that naturally fight oxidation that causes premature aging. Because of this, tongkat may have some anti-aging effects.

Anxiolytic action

Do you suffer from anxiety? Then you should “keep an eye on” Tongkat Ali. Supplements made from this plant have been shown to reduce anxiety in rats. It’s also thought that this anxiolytic effect may also help reduce the “anticipatory anxiety” some men feel about sexual encounters, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Unfortunately, there are very few studies examining Malaysian ginseng’s anxiolytic potential. Therefore, further experiments to learn more about the incredible potential of the Asian plant is needed.

Metabolic activator

Many people also claim that tongkat ali has anti-diabetic, “fat-burning” and “weight-loss” properties. What is true about these claims?

In studies on mice, eurycoma improves pancreatic function and helps lower blood sugar levels.

The anti-stress effect of Malaysian ginseng has been shown in a small experiment to “balance” the metabolism and hormonal balance. A balanced metabolism can make it easier to lose weight.

According to one study, tongkat ali can promote fat loss by improving response to exercise.
