IS TONGKAT ALI LEGAL OR IS IT BANNED IN THE UK?
NO!
While you may experience some trouble with getting platforms, such as Amazon, selling supplements, Tongkat is not banned across the UK, and is legal to take as a supplement.
There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason, other than the fact that Tongkat Ali is considered to be a ‘Novel Food’ which is a process of standardisation and may affect its availability online. The UK and EU novel food processes are different.
If you’re wondering whether the supplements are allowable for professional competition, it is best to contact your sport’s governing body. It seems that in most competitive sport bodies consider Tongkat Ali as currently allowable as a supplement, however, the rules and regulations may change very quickly so it is best to keep up to date with the most recent information.
BENEFITS OF TONGKAT ALI
Tongkat Ali has been the subject of several episodes of the Huberman Podcast (this one is the most in-depth). There are plenty of reported benefits of Tongkat Ali, but it is mostly associated with increased levels of testosterone and improved mood; two benefits backed up by the most data.
Firstly, let’s deal with Tongkat’s ability to increase testosterone.
Tongkat is not a Testosterone ‘booster’ in the strictest sense of the word. It appears not to “stimulate” testosterone synthesis, but it does so by increasing the release rate of “free” testosterone from its binding hormone ( sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG).
It’s proven to support healthy levels of testosterone/hormone in both males and females too, which is quite exciting.
A recent study found that one of Tongkat Ali’s major benefits is reducing stress and improving mood within a test group of 63 people (men and women). It was identified that there was an improvement in salivary cortisol (a stress hormone) which directly negatively impacts Testosterone. Chronic stress therefore slowly reduces Testosterone levels to unhealthy low levels.
The study linked in the last passage showed an increase in overall Testosterone by up to 37%.
The benefits of healthy testosterone levels are well established: helping to increase muscle growth and tone, improving your energy levels and endurance, and the added benefit of reducing stress and anxiety. It may also boost cognitive function. The root has been found to help regulate healthy levels of testosterone in both males and females.
