Tongkat Ali drowsiness/brain fog
Original post in this thread

So, I’ve tried both the 2% and 10% with similar results. Both result in drowsiness and hefty brain fog that lasts pretty much the entire day. I cannot take it in the evening either because it gives me insomnia and when I do fall asleep it’s not really good sleep and I wake up sleep deprived.
Does anyone know what causes this and/or have solution to counteract it?
UPDATE: I bought some iodine pills (225 mcg 150%) and have been taking them an hour before my regular 2% Tongkat. I don't experience brain fog or drowsiness anymore! Thanks for the great suggestion Nicholasjh

Did you end up learning anything about a potential link between tongkat and iodine?

Doesn't seem to do much for me, but I have only taken a few times now. I still need to do more testing. It was not a night and day difference for me like some others, though.
