Key Insights

Why is Tongkat Ali popular in the health optimization space?

Tongkat Ali, also known as Uricoma Longifolia, is popular for its aphrodisiac and pro-fertility effects, as well as its anti-pirotic, anti-malarial, antibiotic, and anti-diabetic properties. It is believed to stimulate testosterone levels, improve sexual desire and ability, and enhance athletic performance, muscle strength, and size.

What is Lespedeza cuneata and why is it gaining attention?

Lespedeza cuneata is a perennial herb with shrub properties that grows in lowland grasslands and fields. It is gaining attention for its potential to nourish the liver and lungs, alleviate symptoms of male menopause, and improve testosterone levels, muscle mass, and sperm count without significant side effects.

How does Lespedeza cuneata affect testosterone levels?

Lespedeza cuneata increases free testosterone by decreasing SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), which binds to testosterone. It also decreases 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT, and increases the levels of nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, CGMP, testosterone, and 17 beta hydroxy steroid dehydrogenases.

What are the potential benefits of Lespedeza cuneata beyond testosterone optimization?

Lespedeza cuneata has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, accelerate wound healing, and reduce scar areas. It can also be used as a cosmeceutical in the cosmetic industry and has anti-carry properties for oral health.

What is the recommended dosage for Lespedeza cuneata in humans?

The recommended dosage for Lespedeza cuneata in humans is around 1200 to 2400 milligrams per day for a 60-kilogram person, based on rat studies. Experimentally, 1250 milligrams of the extract powder, split into two daily doses, was taken orally for eight weeks.
