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!

I dont think is the blood sugar, i think is the biterness of TKA, i have GERD, and everytime i've used a good quality extract i had problems with my stomach / esophagus, with more % eurycomanone, more problems, yesterday i had taken your 2% and i feel my esophagus inflamed again, im going to buy the 10% to see, because there is less product in the tablets.
Is a really bitter herb, and this can be bad for people with gastro problems. Its a shame tou dont make enteric coated tablets cause i think that this would fix this problem.

That could be part of it for some people, for sure. It's about the most bitter thing out there. So I could see it being an issue with some people. One the people that work for ND has GERD, and he also gets a bit of nausea with the tongkat.
We might consider an enteric coated tablet at some point. We are probably going to be buying the equipment to coat tablets ourselves, since the company we used in California for coating went out of business because of COVID-19. So bringing it in-house will allow us to do smaller batches of things. We could absolutely do a smaller run of enteric coating for the people that would prefer that.
