Tongkat Ali supplement questions*
Q. Which is better to take, LJ100 or tongkat ali root powder?
   A. Each person has a unique preference and it is not possible to predict an individual's preference without trying each one separately. 

Q. Can tongkat ali be taken with other herbs or with Passion Rx?
   A. Not the same day. We prefer you take them on alternate days. Just realize that the effects can last several days after using tongkat ali. You could risk excessive stimulation, increased body temperature and rapid heart beat if you taken tongkat ali with other herbs that have a stimulating nature.

Q. How soon would I notice the effects from tongkat ali?
   A. Some people may notice the effects by the first or second day or after a few days. It depends how attuned you are to your body.

Q. Can I take tongkat ali with an SSRI such as Prozac or Zoloft?
   A. Since this herb is potent, it is best not to take it the same day as an SSRI or other medicines that influence brain neurochemistry. We don't suggest people with medical conditions or heart problems take tongkat ali.

Q. Can I not take tongkat ali as needed, like a drug an hour before activity.
   A. Herbs are not like drugs, they take a few days before working at their best. We suggest not taking Viagra the same day as tongkat ali. Viagra can be taken on a day when you are not taking tongkat ali and it is better to use a smaller dose of Viagra than you normally do. Tongkat ali and many other herbs have a delayed effect into the second and third day after taking a capsule.

Q. Q. How fast acting is the tongkat ali herb after consumption? Can a consumption of 2 or 3 capsules 30 minutes before a sexual encounter do any good? Which is better – consuming pure tongkat ali powder capsule with or LJ100 Tongkat Ali or a mixed product with other herbs?
   A. Tongkat ali can work within a few hours if a high dose is taken but then the side effects are quite unpleasant. I is preferable to take tongkat ali in a lower dose and expect the benefits the second or third day. We prefer a combination product that has tongkat ali with several other herbs in order to take advantage of tongkat ali benefits while minimizing its side effects, and also getting the benefits from other herbs. Passion Rx is a great combination of tongkat ali with other herbs. Some people prefer plain tongkat ali powder, others like LJ100, it's difficult to say which is better.

Q. I understand that tongat ali actually works with the male body to cause the body to produce more testosterone naturally. Is this true? Taken as you suggest on your web page, will it have this effect on older men in good health? It seems that natural production from your own body would be superior to the testosterone injections or gel being offered to be by my Doctor.
   A. Not enough human studies have been done to determine exactly how tongkat ali works in the body to improve sexuality. It could be through testosterone production or release, or it could be through other mechanisms. Tongkat ali is very potent and older people would do best at first taking less than the recommended dosage. Tongkt ali has side effects including increased body temperature and heart rate.

Q. I am concerned about products containing Tongkat Ali might contain high levels of lead since some products from Malaysia have been detected with high concentrations of lead. How can I feel more secure about the quality of the Tongkat Ali that you are using?
   A. A few paragraphs above you will see a link to the certificate of analysis which shows there is no lead or other heavy metals in this tongkat ali product.

Q. What is the ratio on the tongkat ali 200 mg compared to the LJ100? I understand the LJ100 is a 100  to 1 exract at 25mg.
   A. The tongkat ali 200 mg is not an extract, but it is a quite potent, non-concentrated powder, LJ100 is much more concentrated than the tongkat ali 200 mg, but not necessarily 100 times stronger and the chemical composition of LJ100 has similarities but also some differences to the regular tongkat ali powder. Some people prefer LJ100, others prefer the regular tongkat ali powder. It's difficult to predict which one a person will like unless they try them..

Q. Is it OK to take Tribulus Terresrtis and Tongkat Ali at the same time but on alternate days?  I understand it is not advisable to take them on the same day. I am looking to boost my testosterone levels. Will Passion Rx do the same as if I take Tribulus-T and Tongkat ali, just as good or better? Answer what you can. I don’t want you to violate any FDA regulations.
   A. Firstly, one has to determine the purpose of raising testosterone levels. It may not always be beneficial to raise testosterone levels. There may be other ways to improve symptoms of a condition without relying on testosterone manipulation. Secondly, not enough long term human research has been done to know whether tongkat ali or tribulus terrestris raise testosterone levels when taken as supplements at the dosages normally consumed for sexual enhancement. We have not had any blood work done on enough people to test testosterone levels when Passion Rx is used. Normally Passion Rx is taken only 2 or 3 days a week, anyway. Tribulus and Tongkat ali should not be taken daily on a long term basis.

Q. I want to buy tongkat ali supplements but not sure whether to buy the powder or the extract.
   A. It is not possible to know which form of tongkat ali will work for you without trying both the powder and the extract separately for at least a week. Take a break for at least five days before switching to the other form.

Q. Can you explain about Tongkat Ali extract imported from Malaysia? is it a protected plant in that country? Also, one website says Malaysian Tongkat Ali extract is loaded with heavy metals like lead. Is this true?
   A. There is a great deal of misleading information on the internet regarding this herb. We asked an expert on this topic who is involved in researching and purchasing this herb. She said: Tongkat Ali is not a protected plant in Malaysia. We work with the Malaysian government to help promote Malaysia herbal botanical to the world, and Tongkat Ali is definitely the government's top priority. It grows wild in the rainforest that is uncontaminated from any pollution, pesticides, or even heavy metal. We do not get any Tongkat Ali that grows in the plantation that may be contaminated by other uses. Lead content is under 0.6ppm that is in compliance with CA prop 65.
