Tongkat ali made me irritable, Shoden did the opposite, should I combine them?

Original post in this thread

Tongkat ali is supposed to have adaptogenic qualities, but it made me irritable, although very focused on tasks.

Shoden also seems to help me focus.

Thoughts on combining them?

Does the Tongkat ali make you irritable on its own?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

It can make me aggressively edgy. It's that kind of confident masculine energy that can be useful in certain situations, but counterproductive in others. If you are going to the gym to lift weights, that aggression can help you push yourself. If you are sitting down for a nice calm dinner with the family, it can make you overly combative. Does that make sense?

No dosing games?

It's a massive frustration of mine with other brands. Sellers will unnecessarily spread doses over multiple capsules to increase capsule counts, to seem like a better value. This is to trick consumers into thinking they

Hmm, I am proud of a lot of them. I would say tongkat ali or NMN for effects and how much I personally like them. I would say Shoden for the scientific work we put in to it. I am honestly still very proud of Immune Defen
