Cancer Research on Longjack/Tongkat Ali

Cancer Research on Longjack/Tongkat Ali: "Studies done by the department of Pharmacognosy, Tokyo College of Pharmacy & the Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo University, Japan, found anti-cancer properties by isolating antileukaemic activities of compounds from the plant. Early results from a study conducted by a Malaysian government-sponsored agency and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found that some chemical constituents of the 'Tongkat Ali' plant show potent anti-cancer and anti-HIV activity. According to Abdul Razak Mohd Ali, Forest Research Institute of Malaysia’s Director General, initial laboratory work has shown that the chemical constituents (of Tongkat Ali) could be more effective than existing anti-cancer drugs."

Bodybuilding And Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali: Scientific Proof for Bodybuilding And Sex Drive Enhancing Herb: "Body Building Benefits:
-Greater Testosterone Bioavailability-Unbinds BT and increases FT, without increase in aromatization into estrogen. Approx 80%-150% improvement in serum testosterone in athletes in 2 weeks
-Increases 4-Androstenedione - responsible for lean body mass, fat decrease, and muscle building
-Does not increase Dihydrotestosterone - responsible for hair loss and prostate swelling associated with Prostate Cancer.
-Average Testosterone Increase of 100% in less than 2 weeks-seen in healthy men under age 50.
-Increase in cGMP and cAMP by 60%
-Increase in ATP production by 80%

Herbal Sexual Supplement - Health Benefits in Tongkat Ali Drinks | Body Building Supplements Guide: "Tongkat Ali A Herbal Cure To Improve Fitness And Sexual Performance

January 6, 2009


In the modern world, stress has had a multifaceted and multivariant effect. A reduced performance as well as lower hormone levels are considered as a major cause of lack of fitness and sexual performance. Although the wonder pill Viagra has had a lot of promise in improving the sexual problems in males, still the drug has been least effective in sexual dysfunction and lack of performance in case of hormone induced sexual dysfunction. Users of herbal medicine and ancient healers are aware of the potential that few herbal drugs have in improving the sexual performance as well as the physical fitness in aging males. In this context tongkat ali which is botanically equated to Eurycoma longifolia Jack. is a very important herb.

Tongkat ali the potential desired

It has been validated from the scientific studies conducted around the world that Tongkat ali root is very rich in nutritious substances and phytosterols which are useful in boosting health. The plant is also found to be rich in powerful antioxidants. Apart from this, it has also been validated by the researchers that the nutrients present in tongkat ali, which is an acronym for a old man’s walking stick are very useful in muscle and body building process. The phytosterols present in togkat ali closely resemble the hormone testosterone, which is very useful in buidling lean mass.

Other health benefits of tongkat ali

Apart from being highly nutritious as a supplement, tongkat ali drink is also useful for its antiviral and antimalarial properties. The plant when administered on a regular basis is useful in fighting blood pressure and is also considered to have cardio protective properties. Researchers have also confirmed the anticancer potential of tongkat ali.

Present status and consumption

Tongkat ali has gained a lot of publicity as a health supplement and sexual stimulant. Still, a proper scientific evaluation as a large scale clinical trial is awaited to confirm its efficacy and safety. Therefore, before you decide on using it in your regular usage, you must always seek advice from a competent authority in this regard."

Tongkat ali / Effect on sex organs / Penis and testicle size after tongkat ali use

Tongkat ali / Effect on sex organs / Penis and testicle size after tongkat ali use: "I have tested Tongkat Ali from several other sources before using the one from Sumatra Pasak Bumi (www.tongkatali.org). I didn't have much immediate effect. But I sure feel an immediate effect with 1 gram of 1:50 extract from Sumatra Pasak Bumi. It's like a mixture of the effects of St. John's Wort extract and the synthetic testosterone Proviron. I feel some agitation in the head, a kind of hot-bloodedness, which I feel from Proviron, and the sublime agility caused by St. John's Wort.

I have never had a weak ejaculation after ingesting 1 gram of the Sumatra Pasak Bumi 1:50 extract. I assume that ejaculatory force diminishes for any man as he reaches an age of around 50 and beyond, and in that case I am no exception.

The marked ejaculatory support is a measurable pro-sexual effect of the Tongkat Ali extract I use.

I am a scientifically minded person. I like to observe, but even more I like to use measuring tapes, balances, chemical tests, and all the other tools of the laboratory trade.

Tongkat Ali has been shown to increase testosterone. It is alleged that it does so by stimulating the Leydig cells of the testicles to produce more testosterone. This is different from the action, for example, of Proviron, which acts like the body's own testosterone and therefore causes the Leydig cells to shut down their production of the hormone. For this reason, anabolic steroids cause testicular and penile shrinkage.

In a toxicological study with various laboratory animals the LD50 values of tongkat ali were established for mice, rats, rabbits, and dogs. LD50 means: the dose at which 50 percent of the laboratory animals die. The LD50 values are at more than a gram of extract per kg of body weight.

When the Tongkat Ali-poisoned animals where dissected, several internal organs, such as the liver and the kidneys, were clearly swollen. This is not surprising for any LD50 test, as the above-cited organs are directly involved in the metabolism of ingested substances. More interesting was, in my opinion, that the primary male sexual organs of poisoned laboratory animals also were markedly swollen. This is very unusual.

Testicular and penis size are clearly testosterone-dependent. Every bodybuilder who uses steroids, and thereby shuts down his body's own testosterone production, can easily observe how the inactivity of his Leydig cells cause testicular and penile shrinkage. And it's a spur in Leydig cell activity, which, during puberty, causes a boy's sexual organs to become the size of a man's. Furthermore, testosterone over-production endocrine disorders during adolescence cause oversized male genitalia.

The assumption that tongkat ali extract causes an increase in penile and testicular volume through Leydig cell stimulation is further supported by observations of trial participants who reported a sense of testicular and penile fullness after tongkat ali use."

Scientific Proof for Tonkat Ali

Scientific Proof for Tonkat Ali: "Eurycoma longifolia Jack (ELJ), which contains quassinoids such as eurycomalacton, eurycomanon, and eurycomanol, has been reported to have aphrodisiac properties and to increase testosterone levels in men. Previous studies have established that the testosterone supplementation increases fat free mass, muscle strength, and muscle mass, which are important for physical function and athletic performance. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the increase in testosterone levels, obtained by administration of ELJ, on body composition and muscle strength and size in man. Fourteen healthy men performed an intense strength training programme with initial load of 60% RM (2 sets of 10 repetitions with 1 minute rest between, for 10 stations) on alternate days for five weeks. Simultaneously, seven men were randomly selected to consume 100 mg/day ELJ water soluble extract, and seven men received placebo. The intensity of the exercise was increased by 10% RM/week. Body composition, arm circumference, one repetition maximum (1 RM), and surface electromyography (sEMG) activity were measured and recorded one day before and after the five weeks of supplementation and intervention. The lean body mass of the treatment group showed a significant increment, from 52.26 (7.18) kg to 54.39 (7.43) kg (p = 0.012), but no significant changes in fat free mass were observed in the placebo group. Percentage body fat was significantly decreased in the treatment and placebo group, from 31.30 (5.48)% to 28.44 (6.43)% (p = 0.01) and from 22.83 (2.43)% to 21.33 (2.35)% (p = 0.001) respectively. The 1RM test showed a significant increase from 73.71 (16.63) to 78.71 (17.0) kg (p = 0.006) in the treatment group and from 77.29 (8.9) to 79.43 (8.8) kg (p = 0.011) in the placebo group. The increase in strength in the treatment group was larger than in the placebo group (6.78% and 2.77% respectively). The mean frequency of sEMG on the biceps in the treatment and placebo groups decreased significantly, from 121.77 (40.0) to 90.47 (64.6) µV (p = 0.012) and from 127.95 (30.9) to 98.8 (50.1) µV (p = 0.036) respectively. The treatment produced 2.92% greater reduction in electrical activity of the muscle measured at the end of the experiment compared with placebo. The mean arm circumference of the treatment group increased significantly by 1.8 cm after the supplementation, from 30.87 (1.88) to 32.67 (1.96) cm (p = 0.011), but there was no significant increase in the placebo group. The results suggest that water soluble extract of Eurycoma longifolia Jack increased fat free mass, reduced body fat, and increased muscle strength and size, and thus may have an ergogenic effect. Further investigations are warranted."

  Do Steroids Cause Permanent Low Testosterone Levels?

  Do Steroids Cause Permanent Low Testosterone Levels?: "One major reason why steroid users usually cycle is so they can regain their natural testosterone levels. During steroid use, your testicles shut down their natural teststerone production. Your testicles shrink because they are no longer “active”. As the anabolic steroids leave your body, your body slowly revs back up it’s production again and your testicles grow back in size."

Psychology Today: Crying Over Spilled Semen

Psychology Today: Crying Over Spilled Semen: "The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful—and potentially addictive—mood-altering chemicals.

Study author Gordon G. Gallup, Ph.D., a psychologist at the State University of New York in Albany, also found that women who routinely had intercourse without condoms became increasingly depressed as more time elapsed since their last sexual encounter. There was no such correlation for women whose partners regularly used condoms.

Gallup's survey of 293 college women also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended. 'These women are more vulnerable to the rebound effect, which suggests that there is a chemical dependency,' says Gallup.

Semen contains hormones including testosterone, estrogen, prolactin, luteinizing hormone and prostaglandins, and some of these are absorbed through the walls of the vagina and are known to elevate mood.

Gallup controlled for variables including method of contraception, frequency of sexual intercourse, as well as the women's perception of their relationship. He concedes that women who regularly have sex without condoms might share personality traits that make them less susceptible to depression. But the behavior most often associated with non-condom users is sexual risk-taking, and studies have found no correlation between high-risk sexual behavior and lower rates of depression.

Gallup's study, which he deems 'the first serious attempt to investigate the effect of semen chemistry on women,' titillated the public and rankled some academics upon publication in Archives of Sexual Behavior. Gallup says he has since replicated the findings with a sample of 700 women and will examine whether 'semen withdrawal' places women at an increased risk for depression when they are premenstrual, menopausal or have just given birth, as many women abstain from sex during these periods."

Tongkat ali / Weight loss with tongkat ali / Tongkat ali and weight loss

Tongkat ali / Weight loss with tongkat ali / Tongkat ali and weight loss: "Tongkat ali, in sufficiently high dosage (about 2 gram of 1.50 extract per day), can act as weight loss agent, especially in women.

This is a direct consequence of tongkat ali's power to raise testosterone levels.

High testosterone suppresses prolactin (and vice versa). Furthermore, there is a direct correlation between prolactin and the neurotransmitter dopamine. If prolactin is elevated (as it happens in pituitary cancer), both dopamine and testosterone are depressed (which is why pituitary cancers are typically medicated with dopaminergics).

The testosterone-suppressing effect of prolactin is so strong that an almost total absence of libido is a major diagnostic symptom of pituitary cancer.

If testosterone levels are raised through tongkat ali, prolactin levels automatically drop. If prolactin levels are kept down, various effects of dopamine are pronounced, especially libido.

When stimulating neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine are in the driver's seat, appetite for food is suppressed and appetite for sex is pronounced. Most diet medications work by enhancing dopamine and norepinephrine, and therefore suppressing appetite for food. Amphetamine and cocaine are the classic medications in this department.

Tongkat ali in a sufficient dosage has a similar, though less dramatic effect. This is the case because its dopamine-enhancing power is exerted on the slow lane, via testosterone.

The advantage is that the typical side effects of direct dopaminergic and norepinephrinergic stimulation are avoided. On tongkat ali, one definitely feels much more balanced than on dopaminergic medications or amphetamine. Actually, one doesn't feel as if one has 'taken something'.

But it is not only via the testosterone - dopamine - control of appetite route that tongkat ali aids in weight loss. Proper testosterone tone also supports an anabolic metabolism. This means a tendency to burn fat and to build muscle instead.

And last not least, tongkat ali will effect subtle lifestyle changes that are in support of weight loss. Increased sexual activity and enhancement of exercise or athletic performance, as likely on regular usage of tongkat ali"

The Pains of Masturbation

The Pains of Masturbation: "The act of masturbating and the subsequent expenditure of semen can be very draining on the body. It takes several neuro-chemicals and hormones to power an erection and to hold back the urge of ejaculation. It takes even more to produce and deliver ejaculate upon orgasm.

By masturbating constantly, on top of the sex you are already having with your wife, your body doesn’t have enough resources to run your entire body.

As a result, there are insufficient neurotransmitters for your parasympathetic nerves to delay orgasm. Your five minutes will only get shorter at the rate you’re going. Masturbation also causes your sympathetic nerves (the ones that make you orgasm) to react faster. Like a boxer who spars to increase his reflexes, you are training your penis what feels good and how to climax faster to that stimulation.

The pain in your pubic area and legs is caused from the strain of tissues from inadequate nutrients and overuse from sexual activities.

The pain in your lower back is a direct result of your sexual parasympathetic nerves being too weak (which is concentrated in the lower back). Your feeling of exhaustion and lack of sleep is caused by low levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter. Serotonin is converted into the melatonin that allows you to sleep.

Your sore eyes and lack of concentration are again all very common symptoms of over masturbation.

The obvious solution to your dilemma is to reduce or even stop masturbation. At least, stop for a little while. Let your body rest and replenish itself. Although, it seems you’ve carried on this practice far too long and your body may not be able to heal itself on its own.

After you’ve stopped masturbation (and sex, if you truly want to be healed) for a few weeks, come back to it with a lower frequency. A healthy habit is to masturbate and have sex a total of three to four times a week. If you ejaculate more than once during the sessions with your wife, then you should consider reducing it to two to three times a week.

You’ll need to regulate your diet while adding dietary supplements to bring back the nutrients you lose during sex.

Normal multi-vitamins you pick up at the store will help, but an herbal blend specifically created to target your problems would be better. Find products that contain American ginseng and maca to help rejuvenate your entire body.

Horny goat weed and yohimbe will help increase flood flow and nutrient absorption for a harder erection and better ejaculation control.

Damiana and saw palmetto will heal your prostate (responsible for producing and releasing semen), which is most likely overworked with your excessive masturbation. These herbs contain more nutrients than vitamins to not only bring your body back to a healthy state, but they will also help you enhance your sexual abilities and endurance."

Tongkat Ali - Nature's Testosterone Booster

Tongkat Ali - Nature's Testosterone Booster: "Difference Between an Extract Strength of 1:50 and 1:100

The ratios referred to the extract strength.

1:50 means 50 grams of root is used to produced 1 gram of extract.

1:100 means 100 grams of root is used to produced 1 gram of extract.
This does not mean that an extract strength of 1:100 is two times more potent than 1:50. It does however mean the 1:100 extract has two times more active ingredients than 1:50. Our customers get great results from both 1:100 and 1:50 extract strength."

Does Ejaculation Affects Testosterone levels.

Does sex/masturbation/ejaculation affects your protein reserves or your testosterone levels ?

The simplest answer is if you are already in deficiency of protein or low T then ejaculation can make you a considerable difference.

If you are healthy and have no deficiency even then it can affect you for one-to-three days or until you eat your next beef-steak. Any way most healthy people wont feel any difference.

If you have mal-nutrition or protein deficiency in your childhood then you should treat that first along with your masturbation problems.

Usually people in developing countries (like China, India & all third-world countries) suffer from lack of mal-nutritions from their childhood. For them even they do not ejaculate they suffer from lack of protein. Even in some of the developed countries it depends on individuals lifestyle & usually for pornstars everything seems ok but that doesnt work for everybody.
