Bloodwork (on Tongkat Ali)

Hi everyone,

Been a longtime buyer from ND, always appreciated the high quality, but never made a post on the subreddit.

So I'm in my 20s, got my testosterone tested earlier this year before the pandemic and scored a disappointing 388. Doctor refused to do any more hormone testing to see if anything was wrong because I was in range.

So then I started optimizing my own health. Supplemented vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Stopped eating out and buying frozen meals. Cut out drinking bottled water, which may leech plastics. Getting plenty of sunlight. Ate lots of healthy fats.

And I started taking ND's 10% Tongkat Ali. Been taking it for the last month and a half. Took another testosterone blood test at a men's clinic last week and scored 972.

Now of course, I can't say it was 100% due to Tongkat. I made a lot of lifestyle changes as you can see since my last test. But what I will say is my new doctor was really surprised how big of a jump I made in half a year. And this isn't even the highest I could go, since I usually don't have great sleep and recently I haven't been getting as much exercise as I should. Now my next goal is…

Could you please bring a phenomenal chistance and butea superba product onto the market?

Many thanks.

Cistanche is one we are already investigating. I will have to look into more. I researched it before and found this study, which concerned me.

Sigma - New supplement containing Tongkat Ali made in collaboration with A.Huberman.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton

Yeah, this trade war is going to fuck a lot of things up. It's literally the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in human history, and I am not joking when I say that. Other things have been done that were dumb, but nothi

Well I can't tell you the specifics yet! We just might have discovered that there are other classes of compounds in there that don't come over in high amounts when you concentrate the main actives, so doing two different

Replying to anexanhume · Lots of disappointment for those expecting the Tongkat stack.

It's coming, but we want it to be perfect first. There's a lot of BS in the science on Tongkat that we are working through.
