i’ve been taking this for a few days, and i definitely notice that it works really well for a little while. i’m calmer, much more confident, my libido goes up. problem is, it doesn’t last long for me at all. i took a tab at 11 this morning i was feeling it shortly after but by by 2 it was fading and by 2:30 it was done. the last few days were about the same. i’ve never known tongkat to be like this, isn’t it supposed to last all day? how long does it last for you guys?

there’s no doubt that this stuff is deserved of being talked about. over the past 10 years i’ve taken all the usual suspects that are supposed to be good for testosterone(maca, hgw, zinc, tribulis, cordyceps, etc etc etc). this tongkat may be the one that actually truly does something positive.

Glad you are liking the effects! My effects usually last 7-8 hours. 3 hours is pretty short. I wonder if you are a fast metabolizer or something. Do you often find things don't last as long as other people?
I do want to eventually get into extended release formulas. We were just talking about it for polygala, but perhaps it would make sense for tongkat as well. We just have to get the formulation right. We just bought a really nice piece of lab equipment to empirically analyze dissolution and mimic GI environments for absorption studies. So that should be here any day. It's a super cool piece of equipment that will allow us to really analyze in the lab how our tablets/capsules/softgels are dissolving and absorbing in various parts of the GI tract. Once we have that in and running, we can start paying around with extended release formulations. I didn't want to do it till we could empirically prove they were working in the lab. So this will allow us to finally do that. We went with a more expensive one, but it doesn't use a water bath like most do. I tend to always go for the nicer equipment, and my lab director doesn't complain about that. LOL.

It's pretty cool!
