Scientific Consensus
Tongkat Ali is a herbal supplement taken commonly for its perceived effect in boosting libido, energy, and mood. Currently, there is limited research to supports the benefit of enhancing athletic performance. Negative effects of larger-than-recommended servings may include insomnia, headaches, irritability, racing heart, heart palpitations, and restlessness.
Special Warning: There is insufficient research to support the use of Tongkat Ali supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The use of Tongkat Ali should, therefore, be avoided if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
