Detailed introduction to Eurycoma Longifolia Jack Cofee 5in1:
Eurycoma longifolia jack, also known as tongkat ali in Malaysia, is a shrub-tree that grows in Malaysia, burma, indochina, Thailand, sumatra, borneo, and the phillipines. It is traditionally used primarily as an aphrodisiac and for improving general health. Other traditional uses include treatment of aches, persistent fever, malaria, dysentery, glandular swelling, bleeding (as a coagulant), edema, hypertension, syphilitic sores, and ulcers.
A large variety of constituents have been identified, including quassinoids, canthin-6-one alkaloids, beta-carbolines, tirucallane-type triterpenes, squalene derivatives, and biphenylneolignans. Usestongkat ali is primarily used as a male aphrodisiac. In Malaysia, it used to increase virility and sexual prowess and is claimed to improve strength and power during sexual activities.
The present evidence indicates that this is a likely property of this plant, but how great the effect is, dose-dependency, and whether or not it contributes significantly to the aphrodisiac qualities of tongkat ali can only be established with more research. Until then, tongkat ali should not be treated as a reliable way to increase testosterone levels. Many other possible benefits have been identified in experimental studies. An animal study found that tongkat ali had anxiety-reducing effects in the open field, elevated plus-maze, and antifighting tests. It also has antimalarial activity in vitro, an effect which is due to multiple constituents of the plant, and which multiple studies have replicated. In an animal study, tongkat ali had the ability to improve survival in infected animals, but the effective dose was near-toxic. It was commented that the history of human use as an antimalarial agent may be explained by differences between rodents and humans which causes the toxic effect to be reduced in the second group, but studies are needed to confirm this. Tongkat ali also has an anticancer effect against multiple cancer cell lines and is effective against multiple parasites in vitro.
