Men’s health: the herb Tongkat Ali

-





Tongkat Ali, scientifically known as Eurycoma longifolia, is a herbal supplement derived from the roots of a tree native to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. It is also commonly referred to as ‘Malaysian ginseng’ or ‘longjack’.


Tongkat Ali has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for various purposes, primarily as an aphrodisiac and to improve male sexual health. It is believed to have several potential benefits for men through scientific research. 


Here are some of the ways in which Tongkat Ali is believed to help men naturally:


  1. Enhancing libido and sexual performance: Tongkat Ali is often used to improve libido, boost sexual desire, and enhance overall sexual performance in men. It is thought to increase levels of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, which may have positive effects on sexual function.


  1. Improving fertility: Some studies suggest that Tongkat Ali may have a positive impact on male fertility. It may help increase sperm quality, motility, and concentration, which are important factors for fertility.


  1. Boosting energy and reducing fatigue (vitality): Tongkat Ali is often used as an energy-enhancing supplement. It is believed to improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and enhance stamina and endurance, which can be beneficial for physical performance and overall well-being.


  1. Supporting muscle growth: Tongkat Ali has been associated with potential benefits for athletes and bodybuilders. It is believed to have an anabolic effect, promoting muscle growth and helping with athletic performance.


  1. Promoting mood and reducing stress: Some studies suggest that Tongkat Ali may have mood-enhancing properties and can help reduce stress and anxiety. It is believed to have adaptogenic properties, meaning it may help the body cope with stressors more effectively.


In my practice I use Tongkat Ali from Standard Process/Mediherb because it has been clinically trialed and backed by scientific research. Visit our website at www.Drreidwellness.com or contact our office for more information.

There are so many oils out there to choose from but why does it matter which one your choose? Cooking oils can have significant implications for health, and choosing the right oil can play a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being. Here are a few examples of seed oils that are considered less healthy due to their composition and processing methods: Vegetable Oil : Vegetable oil is a generic term that often refers to a blend of different seed oils, such as soybean, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. These oils are commonly refined and processed, which can involve high heat and the use of chemical solvents. They are high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s, which can upset the delicate balance of essential fatty acids in the body when consumed in excess. Vegetable oils also tend to have a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which is linked to inflammation when not properly balanced. Soybean Oil: Soybean oil is widely used in processed foods and cooking due to its affordability an...

  Most people have heard about the benefits of turmeric at this point and probably about some of the popular combinations to increase bioavailability. Have you heard about the combination of Turmeric and fenugreek?? Turmeric and fenugreek, when combined, offer a synergistic effect that enhances the bioavailability of curcuminoids, which are the active compounds found in turmeric. This combination has several advantages over other combinations when it comes to maximizing the absorption of curcuminoids by the body. 1. Enhanced solubility: Curcuminoids, including curcumin, the primary curcuminoid in turmeric, have poor solubility in water. However, the addition of fenugreek significantly improves their solubility, allowing for better absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. 2. Delayed gastric emptying: Fenugreek contains dietary fibers and mucilage, which help in slowing down the emptying of the stomach. This delay allows more time for the curcuminoids to be absorbed in the small int...
