Anyone here who solved the fatigue with Tongkat Ali?

There have been multiple reports here, for whom TA causes fatigue and sleepiness. I've seen suggestions for stacking DHEA and Iodine but had no success with that myself.

Anyone got a success story to share after running into the fatigue issue?

Are you suggesting that PanaMAX actutely increases cortisol?

Why am I an aggressive dude when I take Tongkat Ali?

When you increase testosterone in the subcortical areas of the brain, while not increasing cortisol and serotonin, you can get aggressive. Tongkat ali both increases testosterone and lowers cortisol. Since you are natura

Are 2% tongkat and 10% the same, besides the dose?

They use the same raw material as a starting place, and both use the same solvents in the extraction. However, whenever you alter the extraction to concentrate more of one thing, you inevitably will alter the effects som
