A few Tongkat Ali questions
Original post in this thread

1. How often should you dose it? (how long do effects last)
2. Any need for cycling or is it good for daily use?
3. Any side effects? It may have been the thing that made me very nauseous this morning
4. Good to take at night or will it disrupt sleep?
5. Does it have acute effects or does it take time (days, weeks, etc), if so, how long?
6. Are there any studies about effects in women? Is it safe/useful for women?
7. What's everyone's preferred dose and what effects do you see?
Many thanks to ND for offering this awesome supplement. My experience has been very positive so far but I'll hold off on too many early judgements. Thanks for any insights!

Yeah, that's another reason I was excited to see y'all stock it, I should have called that out.
FWIW I've been taking the 10% on an empty stomach in the morning lately, with a 2% around lunch and the nausea has essentially disappeared. This morning was the first time in maybe 3 days that I noticed nausea again during my workout but it wasn't nearly as bad as before.

That's good to know! I think it has to do with blood sugar. Tongkat can regulate people's blood sugar, and I think some people have an issue with that on an empty stomach in the morning. If people are naturally sensitive to blood sugar drops, it might exacerbate it. I fast all the time, and am used to blood sugar drops. So maybe that is why I don't have that effect. That's my main theory at the moment for the nausea.
