How Tongkat Ali Extract Increases Sex Drive

When western cultures discovered that the Tongkat Ali extract was the most effective way to increase testosterone and improve libido, demand for the all- natural herbal product boomed.  Often called  “Asian Viagra,” skeptics want to know what makes the extract so effective.

When reading western magazines and watching western television, it is easy to understand the popularity of the Tongkat Ali extract.  The all-natural herbal medicine has been used throughout Southeast Asia for centuries.  The product is safe and has many healing powers.

As a testosterone booster, males are especially pleased with the results.  The primary function of testosterone is to assist with the growth and development of the male reproductive organs.  Testosterone has a direct impact on the penis, testicles, scrotum, prostrate and seminal vessels.  Regular use of modest doses of the Tongkat Ali extract affects the individual’s mood, fertility and sex drive.

The extract helps in the production of testosterone.  Normally, as testosterone levels increase, androgens and estrogens work to shut down or limit production.  Tongkat Ali extract intervenes by stimulating and encouraging the hypothalamus and pituitary glands to keep on producing testosterone.

ZT Laboratories released two reports in early 2005 attesting to the extract’s positive effect on male testosterone levels.  The tests included married males aged 30-72.  Levels typically increased between 30 and 50%.  With one 72-year old male, the testosterone level increased by more than 200%.

Unlike other diluted versions of Tongkat Ali or other herbal treatments for sexual dysfunction, Tongkat Ali extract is a stand-alone remedy.  Users do not have to combine the extract with any other products to achieve their goals.

Tongkat Ali is not a steroid.  The product is safe and easy to use.  The taste is slightly bitter so users often mix it with a beverage of choice.  Other than increased sex drive and improved sexual function, the most common side effect is insomnia.

Women have also begun to view Tongkat Ali positively.  Women using Tongkat Ali extract may experience tightening of the vaginal walls and increased moisture.

For women, a dose of 50 mg one hour prior to sexual activity has been most effective.  For men, Tongkat Ali is most effective when taken daily.  For each user, the dosage is unique.  Through a simple process of experimentation, users find their comfort level.  Contributing factors to determining proper dosage are weight, age, metabolism and overall health.

When used continuously in proper doses, Tongkat Ali will result in a more sustained erection and quicker recovery after ejaculation.  Endurance is also dramatically approved.  There is an abundance of support in both the east and the west for the natural and safe extract, which is now distributed globally.
