Availability of Tongkat Ali and LJ100
Tongkat Ali is sold as a powder and in capsules, and it is often combined with other
herbs in libido products. There are a number of tongkat ali extracts available in various potencies, and since
each raw material supplier and manufacturer has a different way of preparing and extracting the raw tongkat ali root
material, and since there are no
established standards, it is difficult to give
dosage recommendations that would be consistently effective. In addition to tongkat ali being available as a raw powder, it is sold as a 4:1, 5:1, 20:1 and a
100:1 concentration. An excellent and quite reliable source of the 100:1 extract
is LJ100. At the higher
Tongkat-Ali concentrations, such as LJ100, it becomes difficult to dose
appropriately since the margin of error in terms of effectiveness versus side
effects becomes quite challenging.

LJ100 side effects
There are side effects to LJ100 when used in high doses. LJ100 side
effects include increased body temperature, restlessness, irritability, and
insomnia. When you buy a LJ100 supplement, keep this in mind and initially start
with a dose no more than 25 mg. LJ100 should not be taken on the same day as

LJ100 Questions
Q. I took 50 mg of LJ100 from another company and it made me very
irritable.
A. High doses of LJ100 can cause this side effect, and
that is why we prefer people take smaller amounts.
Q. Just after taking 150 mg/day of Herbal Powers LJ100
capsuls my platelet count jumped up to 681. Some claims are that Tongkat
Ali increases red blood increase in bone marrow, so maybe it caused my
high platelet count.
A. It's difficult to make this connection bases on one
blood study, but you may with to take a break from LJ100, test to see what
your platelet level is, and then retake the LJ100 followed by retesting to
see if it reoccurs. 150 mg of LJ100 is an extremely high dose.
Q. I just purchased the Tongkat Ali LJ100 product
labeled as "Club Natural" LJ100 capsules. I just started taking these
LJ100 capsules and find the effects are better than a product I purchased
from Sumatra Pasak Bumi from Indonesia. I have just been made aware of
research from Malaysia that has shown Mercury and Lead in Tongkat Ali.
Being a physician and having worked with patients toxic in environmental
chemicals and metals, I am alarmed!! What research or analysis has been
done on LJ100 product to assure that it is safe?
A. If you visit the web page above for LJ100, there is
a link that shows the certificate of analysis. LJ100 is a proprietary
blend made by Herbal Powers and this is the version everyone uses when
they mention LJ100 on the label of their LJ100 product.
Q. I saw an add for LJ200. What is this product, is
LJ200 more potent than LJ100?
A. We have not tested LJ200 so we don't know if it is
effective. Also, LJ100 is a concentrated form of tongkat ali and it is
quite potent, perhaps too potent. We don't see any need to concentrate
tongkat ali any further. Therefore, for the time being, LJ200 is not an
extract that we find necessary since the tongkat ali plain powder and
LJ100 are quite sufficient on their own. Also, just because LJ100 says
that it is 100 times an extract does not mean it is 100 times as potent as
regular tongkat aii powder. If you take 400 mg of tongkat ali, you will
realize how potent it is, actually most prefer taking less that 400 mg of
the powder. Many products have 80 mg of LJ100 in them, and we feel that is
too potent can can lead to unpleasant side effects. It is naive to claim
that just because an LJ100 product has 80 mg or 25 mg of LJ100 that it is
equivalent to 8000 mg of tongkat ali powder or 2500 mg of tongkat ali
powder, respectively. It just doesn't work that way. Keep in mind, too,
that tongkat ali has side effects and taking too much LJ100 or LJ200 can
be counterproductive since these can cause insomnia. And when insomnia
occurs, sex drive goes down.
Q. There is a website that claims that LJ200x has 185
mg of a concentrated extract equivalent to 37000 mg of regular tongkat ali
powder. Is this true?
A. If it were, and you took 37,500 mg of tongkat ali, I
doubt you would be alive, or functioning properly. We find even 400 mg of
tongkat ali powder to be quite a hefty dose. Anyone who makes this
comparison apparently does not fully understand the tongkat ali herb and
how the extracts are made. LJ200x is certainly not 200 times as potent as
tongkat ali powder. We question the reliability of the information by
whoever makes such statements.
Often, tongkat ali works better in low doses than it
does in high doses since side effects are common. Therefore, if you do buy
LJ200x, begin with a portion of a capsule. Better yet, just try LJ100,
there is much more research done with LJ100 than a lesser known and
untested extract marketed as LJ200x.
Q. I just today purchased LJ100 and was given advice to
stak it with Tribulus Fuel which is a testosterone booster. I was
wondering how I should stak them together. My goal is to put on muscle
mass .
A. We are not familiar with tribulus fuel. LJ100 is
quite potent and we suggest using it by itself, taking too many herbs the
same day can cause insomnia and irritability. Lack of good sleep
interferes with good hormone balance, interferes with growth hormone
release and would be counterproductive. For muscle mass we suggest
creatine.
Q. I bought a bottle
of LJ100 25 mg. I read the dosage like 1 capsule every other day or 3
times a week. My question is, can I not take LJ00 as needed, like viagra.
A. Herbs are not like Viagra, they take a few days before working their
best. You can take one capsule LJ100 in the morning every other day or
3 days a week and discuss with your doctor how to use Viagra. We suggest
not taking Viagra the same day as LJ100. Viagra can be taken on a day when
you are not taking LJ100 and it is better to use a smaller dose of Viagra
than you normally do. LJ100 and many other sexual herbs have a delayed
effect into the second and third day after taking a capsule.
Q. I recently purchased tongkat ali Extract 1:200 200
caps @ 600 mg of Tongkat Ali from Indonesia and I'm not sure if it is
working or not. Base on your website taking that amount of this extract I
would think I would know. Not sure whether to purchase from them again.
What is your opinion?
A. We have no idea what this product would contain. If
it is true 200:1 tongkat ali extract, it should have an effect.
Q. I just received my first bottle of LJ100 25Mg made
by Club Natural and the instructions say 2 to 4 capsules per day yet your
website says to take much less. I took 2 capsules before I saw your
website. for the future what should be my regimen?
A. There are different viewpoints on how to take LJ100,
we prefer starting slow with one capsule every other day and have a
gradual enhancement rather than shocking the system too quickly with a
potent herb. However, there are individuals who need a high dose to feel
an effect, for these rare individuals, 2 capsules of LJ100 may be more
appropriate.
Q. Does LJ100 increase genital sensation?
A. Many sexual herbs can increase genital sensation,
including LJ100.
Q. I am a health food store owner
and received marketing material that LJ100 has anti-aging-enhance IGF-1,
enhances sports performance, improves sexual function, increases energy,
and helps with weight loss. Are any of these true?
A. LJ100 does enhance sexual function, does increase energy )but we
don't know if this is sustained over time), I am not sure about the weight
los part, but I do not believe it has anti-aging potential and do not
think it enhances sports performance since it increases body temperature
which may be counterproductive.
Q. Can you please tell me the
correct dosage of tongkat ali lj100.The bottles in my first order
suggested 2 to 4 capsules daily with water and a meal, My recent order
says one capsule daily in the morning on an empty stomach, can you please
clarify this for me.
A. There is no standard LJ100 dosage that works for everyone, hence
we suggest starting with a low amount and then seeing how this affects you
before taking a larger dose.
Q. Thank you for such a great and
informative site! Is there a difference between the Physician Formulas
LJ100 and Club Natural LJ100? I am just confused if LJ100 is a trademark
name and if it's the same wherever you get it, or if all LJ100 are
different formulas. Since Club Natural cross promotes Physicians Formulas,
I thought maybe they were the same. I am very new to TongKat Ali, and have
done alot of research the past couple weeks. About a week ago I started on
Tongkat Ali 1:50 extract that I got through a reseller of Sumatra Pasak
Bumi at http://www.tongkatali.org/. I'm very confused about the results. I
read many statements that state many people get a warm sensation when they
first started taking it. I didn't feel a thing, and that was with 800mgs
of 1:50 extract. I also read at Dr. Sahelian's site on LJ100 that LJ100 is
very potent and you keep it in low 25mg capsules because of powerful
effects. But, I am taking 2-3 400mg capsules of the Sumatra Pasak
Bumi TKA which has a 1:50 extract. That should be many, many times more
potent than 25 to 50mg of LJ100 and yet I have felt pretty much nothing.
So I'm afraid that I would have to take even more LJ100 (even though it's
a higher extract) because of it's low mg. Since I read that LJ100 is
potent and many feel the effects at low doses, maybe it works better than
what I have. I'm also desparate! I'm only 31 years old, married, and have
had very bad problems with poor libido, sex drive, interest, which also
leads to poor performance :( I do take Viagra when I can get samples from
my doctor, because it's too expensive. And it does nothing for my sex
drive. I'm really hoping this will work for me, because I don't know what
else to do. I've tried many things, including Enzyte, which did nothing. I
would like to try Passion Rx and may try ordering this. Would this work
better than LJ100 alone? I don't know which Passion Rx to try, with or
without Yohimbe. I have never taken Yohimbe and was a little afraid of the
side effects since I have read many negative things about it. However, I
have also heard it works better than most anything else, compared to
Viagra. So I'm not even sure what version of the Passion Rx would be right
for me. Maybe I should try both. Does Passion Rx need to be taken in
cycles since it has Tongkat Ali LJ100 in it? I heard Tongkat ali won't
even help with your testosterone levels after a while and thats why you
have to stop and start it off and on, to trick your body. So I figured you
would have to do the same with Passion Rx.
A. The LJ100 from Physician Formulas and Club Natural are exactly
the same raw material from the exact same source. LJ100 is a trademarked
tongkat ali extract by Herbal Powers. Many people find 25 mg every other
day or 2 days on 2 days off to work well, others find they need two
capsules to notice it. As to Passion Rx, it is difficult to predict which
form, with or without yohimbe, will work better since each person is
different. Taking days off from the use of the sexual herbal products does
make them work better. Using smaller amounts gives a more gradual response
with fewer side effects and this is often preferable. However some people
like to take a higher amount to notice more sexual benefits but the side
effects of LJ100 such as increased body temperature, irritability, and
insomnia can interfere with optimal sexual love making.
