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!

First time I took it on an empty stomach with NMN and I puked my guts out violently within 10-15 minutes.
Also made a post about this here but for some reason it wasn’t posted. Hopefully not because of gate keeping or anything.

So it could be a blood sugar thing. Perhaps taking tongkat ali on an empty stomach is lowering blood sugar too much for some people, which is causing nausea. It would explain why eating beforehand prevents it. Tongkat does have a blood sugar regulation mechanism, and perhaps some people are more sensitive to it. I fast all the time, my body is used to regulating blood sugar pretty well.
