Tongkat ali and berberine Interactions?
Original post in this thread

I recently received NDs tongkat Ali and I’m enjoying it as a pre workout. I stopped taking berberine though as a precaution since I know berberine interacts with so many compounds and as far as I know affects many different things in the body.
Any experiences with both or some info about their interaction would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think berberine might attenuate TA's pro-emetic effects?
I take a 10% tablet in the AM and then a 2% capsule mid-day. Oddly I never get any nausea from the tablet, but I do occasionally get mild nausea from the capsule redose, and once (a few weeks in) I got much worse nausea that made me vomit. I typically fast in the AM and most of the PM, both doses get taken on an empty stomach; I concentrate my eating in a 6-hour window, so I would think my body should be somewhat more tolerant of the blood sugar drops from TA.

It could. I have done that combo a lot myself. I've never had issues with nausea or vomiting. I only recently had one, but that was after a night of drinking. So the slight hangover played a role. It was only slight nausea for a few minutes, too. I have never personally experienced the strong nausea or vomiting that some people are reporting.
