Anyone try tongkat ali?

A study I read earlier on pubmed showed a pretty decent reduction in stress/cortisol and a nice increase in testosterone.

I tried a single dose of the Nootropics Depot 2% brand earlier and like it so far. Immediate reduction in stress, calmer, etc. Certainly feels like it lowers cortisol.

I wonder what the long term implications of using it are.

My experience is that its noticeable for a week, maybe 2. Then it stops working. Many herbal products are unfortunately like this.

I've also heard that it may contain high amounts of lead. Might be worth your time to look into.

Guess it’s about like all of the other adaptogens then. Thanks.

currently taking 600mg 10:1 extract
anticortisol effects are notable 30min after taking it and mild dopamine boost lasts through out the day.
raw root powder was more stimulating than sedative.

Any source in Europe for this herb?
