pgt, I went ahead and ordered the Trial Set.

1:50 tongkat ali extract
20 gr extract 1:200
40 gr extract 1:50
200 gr yellow chipped root

50 gr root powder

The cost is $195.00

Tell me which you get on best with. And ask Ida at TongakatAli Company for the dosage/cycling details - she sent me a very useful email when I enquired.

Gents,

Are there any customs or other shipping snafus into the U.S. if you order from either the Indonesia or U.K. sites?

Definitely curious about this stuff ever since I read a piece about in Outside Magazine.

Tally

I’ve had two orders successfully arrive. It’s tree bark. Not a controlled substance or something requiring a prescription.

Speaking of tree bark…

My package arrived today. Customer service is excellent.

But WTF am I supposed to do with a bag of tree shavings?

From the tongkatali website:
The active ingredients of tongkat ali are soluble in water. Traditionally, in Malaysia it is brewed as a kind of very bitter coffee. The chipped root is best used in this way. To extract the active ingredients, the chipped root or root powder should be cooked about 30 minutes.

Okay, great. So how much do I use for a single doseage?

If you read my earlier posts, you’ll see that I use a 1/4 teaspoon as a dose.

But what has it done for your loads/volume?

Tongkat Ali did not do anything for me. I took the raw powder for 3 months and pills for another two months.

Formula 1, Suspect you are in the minority

My dosage for the first month was 1600mg/1:50/4 days per week.
No significant effects to report.

I also started L-Arginine one month ago and noticed nothing significant. Although, I have had a few very godd days with a lot of energy. But that’s how I am naturally. My energy comes and goes cyclically. My diet and sleep patterns hardly ever vary, yet I have my good days and bad days in terms of energy and strength.

EDIT: I am experiencing a slightly more “pumped” and “veinous” look. But that could be from the Creatine I take after my training.
No change in horniness.

May be but people need to know that it is not guaranteed to work on everybody. I do know of several other guys that took it and experienced nothing.

I would not deny that. I am a bit of a fan of Tongkat but other supplements - Saw Palmetto for example - have no effect on me at all.

Ram and Formula, where did you get your tongkat?

I’m still considering manking an investment and was wondering if the particular product/dosage you bought might of had something to do with the negligible effects.

Tally, I bought mine from the same place as BigFatLuvRocket (BFLR) and pgt7787: tongkatli.org

My new plan is to re-start taking the tongkat, this time I will increase the daily dosage to 2g/day.

The powder I was taking was from a place called SAS Labs. The pills were from Source Naturals.
