Could Tongkat Ali 10% have killed my morning wood?

I’ve been taking a bunch of supplements, recently went up from 2% Tongkat to 10% less than a week ago. Just one pill in AM. Now for two days straight I feel no morning wood and am also slightly anxious.
Other than TA, I take KSM-66 (ND), Fadogia, Tribulus (ND), Vitamin D3, Fish Oil, Boron 9mg in AM.
In PM I take zinc 50mg and magnesium 200mg 30 min before sleep. I’m also on 100mg Buproprion (Wellbutrin) every day.
I used to feel so good and have a boner every morning but now it’s gone. Any advice which of my supplements could’ve cause it and how to fix it? Cycle it off?

How quickly can estrogen happen? It was 35 pg/mL on 8/5/23, total T 695 ng/dL, free T 150 pg/mL and SHBG was 22 nmol/L.
I just started taking Fadogia, boron and magnesium 2.5 weeks before the bloodwork. I’ve been TA, KSM-66, Tribulus, Zinc for a few months too.Since that time only thing thats changed is I went from 2% TA to 10% TA. All other dosages didn’t change. But of course it could be buildup of other supplements too

Then your estrogen is fine. It's likely cortisol. Some people can't take ashwagandha because it drops cortisol too much. Tongkat will, too. Together it might be too much for you.
