What Tongkat Ali is
Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a Southeast Asian root long used as a men's tonic for energy and vitality.
The 2022 meta-analysis
Pooling five randomized controlled trials, researchers found Tongkat Ali significantly increased total testosterone (PubMed). The authors still called for more research.
Who benefits most
