Q. I saw an add for LJ200. What is this product and is LJ200 more potent than LJ100?
     A. We have not tested LJ200 so we don't know how effective it is. Hypothetically it would seem LJ200 is twice as potent as LJ100. LJ100 is a concentrated form of tongkat ali and is quite potent, perhaps too potent. We don't see any need to concentrate tongkat ali any further. Therefore, for the time being, LJ200 is not an extract that we find necessary since the tongkat ali plain powder and LJ100 are quite sufficient on their own. Also, just because LJ100 says that it is 100 times an extract does not mean it is exacttly 100 times as potent as regular tongkat aii powder. If you take 400 mg of tongkat ali powder, you will realize how potent it is, actually most prefer taking less that 400 mg of the powder. Many products have 80 mg of LJ100 in them, and we feel that this is too potent and can lead to unpleasant side effects. It is naive to claim that just because an LJ100 product has 80 mg or 25 mg of LJ100 that this makes it equivalent to 8000 mg of tongkat ali powder or 2500 mg of tongkat ali powder, respectively. It just doesn't work that way. Keep in mind, too, that tongkat ali has side effects and taking too much regular powder, LJ100 or LJ200 can be counterproductive since these can cause insomnia. And when insomnia occurs, overall health is impaired.

Q. Most tongkat ali LH100 products advertised on line have 50 mg of LJ100 or 80 mg of LJ100. Why is the product you carry only 25 mg?
   A. We purposely chose to sell a lower dosage of LJ100 since we realized higher amounts can lead to insomnia and lead to unpleasant side effects. If you don't get a good night's sleep, you will be less inclined to be at your best health. Hence, of all the LJ100 products on the market, Dr. Sahelian and his research team decided 25 mg of LJ100 would be the safest product to carry.

Q. How soon would I notice the effects from LJ100?
   A. Some people may notice the effects within a few hours, while other may notice the effects the next day or after a few days. It depends how attuned you are to your body.

Q. Can LJ100 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 stopping its use.

Q. Can I take LJ100 with and SSRI such as Prozac or Zoloft?
   A. Since LJ100 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 LJ100.

Q. I bought a bottle of LJ100 25 mg. I read the dosage instructions which say 1 capsule every other day or 3 times a week. My question is, can I not take LJ00 as needed, like a drug.
   A. Herbs are not like drugs, they take a few days before working at their best. You can take one capsule LJ100 in the morning every other day or 3 days a week and discuss with your doctor how to use prescribed drugs. We suggest not taking Viagra the same day as LJ100. Viagra can be taken on a day when you are not taking LJ100 and it is better to use a smaller dose of Viagra than you normally do. LJ100 and many other herbs have a delayed effect into the second and third day after taking a capsule.

Q. How fast acting is LJ100 herb after consumption? Can a consumption of 2 ~ 3  LJ100capsules 15 minutes or 30 minutes before a sexual encounter do any good? Which is better – consuming pure tongkat ali powder capsule 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. It is preferable to take LJ100 in a lower dose and expect the benefits the second or third day. We prefer a combination product that has LJ100 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 LJ100 with other herbs. Some people prefer plain tongkat ali powder, others like LJ100, it's difficult to say which is better.

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 is not an extract, but it is a quite potent, non-concentrated powder. LJ100 is much more concentrated than the tongkat ali 200, 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 tongkat ali extract LJ100, others prefer the regular tongkat ali powder. It's difficult to predict which one people will better respond to unless they try each product separately.

Q. Before I buy Lj100 tongkat ali supplement, can they be taken with Cialis, Viagra or Levitra impotence drugs the same day? I want to try LJ100 tongkat ali extract but am concerned of side effects. 
   A. We prefer LJ100 or any tongkat ali supplement or other sexual enhacing herbs not be taken the same day as Viagra, Levitra, or other erectile dysfunction drugs. Often it takes a few days for aphrodisiac herbs to have their full benefits. Therefore, LJ100 tongkat ali can be taken for 2 or 3 days, and then Cialis, Viagra, or Levitra can be taken on the day of activity but the LJ100 tongkat ali can be skipped the day the impotence drugs are taken. Each person is different in their response and hence have approval by your doctor.

Can LJ100 product be taken in conjunction with blood pressure medications such as Lisinopril and Toprol?
     We have not seen any studies with such combinations. As a general rule it is best to use a portion of a capsule at first and to have medical approval. Some people may be able to tolerate the combination, whereas others may not. 
 
Can this product be taken in conjunction with cholesterol medications such as simvastatin or stating drugs for high cholesterol?
     Possibly in low dosages, but it depends on the overall health of the person, whether they have heart disease, hypertension, taking other medications and supplements, and their overall health status.

I  purchased the LJ 100 Tongkat Ali extract dietary supplement. My question is, doesn't this product get in the way of my own body's ability to produce testosterone and eventually decrease its natural production?
   This libido herb is normally taken in the long run one or two days a week as opposed to daily, and thus would not have a significant influence on natural testosterone production. It is also a good idea to take a full week off once every other month.

If you buy LJ100 product along with Passion Rx, we suggest not using them the same day. This is also true of other sexual enhancing and aphrodisiac herbs. Do not use them the same day unless you know how each one works for you by itself.
