Curious if any of you have tried, or know of, compounds that are similar to cistanche and tongkat that women can take for improved strength, endurance, fat-loss, etc.

This is what the combo of tongkat, cistanche, apigenin, and ashwagandha will do
What time of day does one take this? I find TA makes me sleepy, apigenin makes me sleepy, but cistanche and ash give me energy. Sometimes ash makes me sleepy though.

Depends on the extract. We find that most people who report sleepiness from tongkat are taking the 2%. I don't notice that effect from the 10%. Usually I will tell people to take the 10% in the morning with coffee and the 2% in the evening before bed. Everyone is different, though. I don't see a reason why you couldn't just split the doses up in AM and PM for what works for you.
