The root has 99.5% cellulose. - Should you read it in English or any other language - Tongkat Ali for sale - and not mentioning the product concentration (ratio). It's probably of a low ratio: 2:1; 5:1; 10:1 or max 20:1 and therefore will not produce any effect. - The right and serious ad should read: Tongkat Ali extract for sale 50:1 - which is the minimum recommended ratio; or 100:1. Should you read Tongkat Ali extract 200:1 it is of a high concentration. Anything higher would be suspicious and only possible if a plant is genetically changed.

HOW DOES IT WORK: - There are still many ongoing studies about the Tongkat Ali, but it has already been found many chemical components (there are also some pending patents for some isolated substances). Still some of these components are not totally clear for the scientists. We have tried to mention those which are unanimous: - Stimulates the hypothalamus and the pituitary increasing the LH, which then increases the activity of Leydig cells and therefore the endogenous secretion. - Blocks the negative feedback; natural mechanism which occurs when testosterone reaches a high level and the hypothalamus and the pituitary reduce the flow of LH, which then results in a continuous and increasing production of testosterone. - Increases the ATP, improving performance and reducing fatigue after intense and long exercises. - Reduces the levels of SHBG increasing the free testosterone. - Avoids the action of 5-alfa-redutase enzyme. - Increase the IGF-1 - youth hormone - Increase HDL - "good" cholesterol - Increase the number and mobility of spermatozoids; - Stimulates the formation of red globules. These results will appear gradually after the third or fourth week of non-stop use. SIDE EFFECTS: - Even though the extract presents a low level of toxicity, it may provoke side effects as: headache, warm flushing, sweating, irritation, facial blushing. The great majority of these effects will stop after some weeks of use; in case it does not happen, reduce the dosage and if these side effects continue, stop taking it immediately. Observation: - Those who don't have the habit of drinking water and / or practice exercises may face dehydration by taking the TA extract. The reason is due to increased transpiration. Other symptoms may be: dark urine, fatigue, dry mouth, headache and dizziness. These symptoms should be observed and drinking water is a must (12 glasses of 80 oz per day for men and 9 glasses for women). NOT RECOMMENDED: - The TA extract is NOT recommended during pregnancy, breast feeding; for those who are 18 years of age and under; with cardiac problems, kidney or liver malfunctions or any other serious illness. DOSAGE: - The recommended initial dosage is 1 (one) capsule along with 80 oz of water twice a day - empty stomach. 1 (one) capsule in the morning, before breakfast and 1 hour before dinner. Absorption is increased when taken with plenty of water. This dosage is ideal for those who do not have any physical activity and just wants to enjoy the metabolism improvement and libido. For those who take regular exercises: Start with 1 (one) capsule twice a day and after one week double the dosage. Two capsules twice a day or 1 (one) capsule four times a day - just if no side effects are presented. Professional Athletes and bodybuilders: When in process of training, competition: 2 capsules three times a day or 1 capsule six times a day - respecting the time for adapting. Do not exceed the max number of 6 (six) capsules per day. IMPORTANT: - The TA extract sold by TongkatBrasil does not contain any illegal substance as per the World Anti-doping Agency. CYCLE: - It is fundamental to obtain the best of TA extract. Our body gets used to the stimulus given by the extract; that's why it is necessary to suspend the regular use, which will allow take the best of its potential for months or years. The most common cycle used is 5/2 - being - 5 days taking the extract and 2 days not taking the extract. This is the ideal cycle for those who want a slow and gradual increase in testosterone, enjoying the benefits of increased libido, fat loss and more energy for a longer period of time. After 3 (three) months it is recommended to suspend taking the capsules for 2 or 3 weeks. For bodybuilders we suggest a different cycle: Take the TA extract daily for 6 to 8 weeks and then suspend it for a minimum period of 4 weeks. This cycle is recommended for a fast increase of body and muscular mass and loss of body fat. HOW ABOUT THE WOMEN ? - Women in general may enjoy the benefits too; mainly the increase in testosterone and its positive consequences. Testosterone is fundamental to women's health but in smaller quantities. For this reason, it is recommended that women should take ½ the dosage of a men. One (1) capsule per day or if involved in physical activities, 1 capsule twice a day. Maximum limit for women. High dosages may cause menstrual problems besides those side effects already mentioned.
