This means it can inhibit the production of aromatase enzymes, preventing testosterone from being converted into oestrogen in the Leydig cells of the testes and stopping your natural testosterone levels from dropping.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When consumed in larger quantities, eurycomanone has also shown great promise when it comes to inhibiting phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. This results in an accumulation of cyclic AMP and an increase in both cholesterol transport and pregnenolone production, the latter of which is a precursor to the biosynthesis of testosterone.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Finally, eurycomanone also promotes the activation of Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17a), an enzyme that increases the production of two of the primary testosterone precursors, those being dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By simultaneously improving a man\u2019s natural testosterone production and then preventing any testosterone that is produced from being converted into oestrogen, Tongkat Ali works to promote generally enhanced testosterone levels from virtually all angles (1).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhances_Male_Sexual_Health_Functions\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Enhances Male Sexual Health &amp; Functions<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The second most popular benefit of Tongkat ali is its ability to enhance male sexual health and functions. Much of this occurs as a direct result of the ability of eurycomanone to prevent testosterone from being converted into oestrogen in the Leydig cells of the testes, the primary site of sperm production in men, and stop your natural testosterone levels from dropping.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, it also offers a selection of additional benefits which are not linked solely to increases in testosterone levels that will benefit a man\u2019s sexual health and functions as well, particularly in hypogonadal men.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These include producing an aphrodisiac effect that will increase a man\u2019s sex drive and libido, improving erectile function and combatting any cases of erectile dysfunction which have already occurred, boosting a man\u2019s fertility, semen volume, and sperm count and quality, and generally improving his sexual health and confidence (2).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most of these come as a direct result of Tongkat Ali\u2019s ability to enhance the production of both luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), two gonadotropins\u202fthat are well known to notably elevate testosterone and sperm production in the testes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- TONGKAT ALI CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n       margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n       margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n     }\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 .tongkatali-bottle {\r\n       max-width: 100%; \r\n       width: 100%;\r\n     }\r\n     @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n       .reviews--advert--v2 .tongkatali-bottle {\r\n         max-width: unset;\r\n         width: 130%;\r\n       }\r\n     }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <div class=\"columns is-centered\">\r\n      <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/single-tongkatali\/tongkatali-hero-product.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"product tongkatali-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"columns is-centered is-multiline\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-12-mobile is-12-tablet is-12-desktop\">\r\n        \t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-center caps zmb\">\r\n          \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-size-xxl has-text-weight-bold green\">Tested and Trusted<\/span><br>\r\n          \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-size-xl has-text-weight-bold\">By Over 1 Million Men<\/span>\r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n      \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/tongkat-ali#PTA01F0\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb zmt\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boosts_Exercise_Performance\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Boosts Exercise Performance<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Due to a combination of its ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/13-ways-to-boost-testosterone-naturally\/\">improve your testosterone and energy levels<\/a>, Tongkat Ali also possesses the power to notably enhance your physical performance, which can be useful when engaging in either sexual activity or various forms of strenuous exercises, such as weight lifting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A recent study examined the exercise performance of men who took a 100 mg dose of tongkat ali each day for 5 weeks while completing a daily circuit training routine. This routine included performing 2 sets of 10 reps of 10 different exercises, each time using a weight that equalled 60 per cent of your 1 rep max and taking a 1-minute rest in between exercises.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The results showed that the men generally experienced far greater improvements in their exercise performance, muscle strength and lean body mass when compared to the control group who performed the same training routine but took a placebo, instead of Tongkat Ali.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A similar study on older men and women between the ages of 57 and 72 which used five weeks of tongkat ali supplementation at 400 mg per day also saw the participants record notable improvements in hand grip strength, while a third study which used a 200 mg dose of Tongkat ali per day noted that peak power output during a cycling test increased (3).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relieves_Anxiety_Stress\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Relieves Anxiety &amp; Stress<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At least one study found evidence that Tongkat ali produces an anxiolytic effect, which means it can reduce both stress and anxiety. Trials show that this is largely due to its ability to slow the production of cortisol, the hormone directly responsible for both stress and anxiety.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The improved testosterone levels that Tongkat ali can help produce have also been proven to combat feelings of stress and anxiety, as are reduced levels of anger, confusion and tension, all of which sufficient Tongkat ali supplementation is capable of providing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a result, using Tongkat ali supplements may not only help to relieve feelings of stress, anxiety and even depression but there is also evidence that their use is capable of improving the mood of people who are not even experiencing any of these issues to begin with (4).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_Accelerated_Muscle_Growth\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Promotes Accelerated Muscle Growth<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We finish with what is perhaps one of the least talked about benefits of Tongkat ali, which is its ability to accelerate muscle growth in men and women who engage in resistance training. This is likely due to the fact that this effect is a result of multiple other benefits that the compound can offer combining into one, rather than it simply stimulating muscle growth independently.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By improving testosterone production and levels, enhancing your energy levels and workout performance, increasing muscle strength and endurance, and reducing fat storage and cortisol and stress levels all at the same time, Tongkat ali can enable you to train significantly harder and longer than you would be capable of doing on your own.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This will help to give you a solid platform from which to build muscle, while then also ensuring that all of your hard work does not go to waste by repairing the muscle fibres much more quickly (5).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/surprising-benefits-of-tongkat-ali\/\">five (more) surprising benefits of Tongkat Ali here<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- TONGKAT ALI CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n       margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n       margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n     }\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 .tongkatali-bottle {\r\n       max-width: 100%; \r\n       width: 100%;\r\n     }\r\n     @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n       .reviews--advert--v2 .tongkatali-bottle {\r\n         max-width: unset;\r\n         width: 130%;\r\n       }\r\n     }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <div class=\"reviews--advert--v2\">\r\n      <div class=\"columns is-centered is-vcentered\">\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/single-tongkatali\/tongkatali-hero-product.png\" alt=\"Prime Male Tongkat Ali Product Bottle\" class=\"product tongkatali-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n          <h3 class=\"has-text-weight-bold is-size-small zmb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prime_Male_Tongkat_Ali\"><\/span>Prime Male Tongkat Ali<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\t\t      <p class=\"grey-text is-relative is-marginless is-size-xxsmall\">The Highest-Potency Extract to Boost Free Testosterone, Enhance Libido, and Maximize Sexual Strength & Performance.<\/p>\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/tongkat-ali#PTA01F0\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  \n<h2 aria-level=\"5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><b>References<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9415500\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9415500\/<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[2] <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26365449\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26365449\/<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[3] <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23754792\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23754792\/<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[4] <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23705671\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23705671\/<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[5] <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33559971\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33559971\/<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tongkat ali is one of the hot topics in the supplement world so far in 2025.
