Study Shows Tongkat Ali Reduces Cortisol 16 Percent While Raising Testosterone 37 Percent
What was said
"They found that this same compound dropped cortisol 16%. They saw that overall tension dropped 11%, anger dropped 12%, and testosterone went up 37%. Imagine having more testosterone but being calmer."
A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that 200 milligrams of Tongkat Ali daily for four weeks produced a 16% cortisol reduction and 37% increase in free testosterone among 63 moderately stressed adults. The research suggests the testosterone boost results from removing cortisol's three-level suppression of testosterone production at the hypothalamic, pituitary, and Leydig cell levels. The disproportionate testosterone increase indicates Tongkat Ali also reduces SHBG and inhibits aromatase conversion to estrogen.
