From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy testosterone levels and mood.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Sexual desire, Muscle strength, Athletic performance, Male vitality, Hormonal balance.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual desire (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength, Age-related testosterone deficiency.

The data supports that Tongkat Ali is possibly effective for sexual desire. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eurycoma Longifolia

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Tongkat Ali is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety and the consistency of products on the market are uncertain — quality can vary. The supplement may increase testosterone levels, and if that goes beyond your normal range, there's a theoretical risk of testosterone-related side effects like acne, insulin resistance, and liver stress.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, and because of possible hormonal effects, you should avoid it. While breastfeeding, there's no reliable safety information on file, so it's best to avoid this product too.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or thinking about becoming pregnant.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Eurycoma Longifolia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your exact medications before taking this product. The most important one to flag is propranolol (Inderal), a blood-pressure and heart medication, which Tongkat Ali can weaken.

You should also double-check any drugs your liver processes through CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 pathways — the ingredient may raise their levels. If you're on testosterone replacement, let your pharmacist know.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tongkat Ali may be worth trying if you're interested in sexual desire support and don't take propranolol or medications processed through your liver's CYP enzymes. If you take any prescription drugs — especially heart or blood-pressure medications — check them against the interaction tool on this page before starting.

And if you're pregnant, nursing, or on testosterone therapy, talk to your pharmacist first.

Tongkat Ali5 drug types · 248 drugs

Propranolol (Inderal)

Eurycoma longifolia can reduce the levels and clinical effects of propranolol.
A small clinical study in healthy persons shows that taking a single dose of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract 200 mg, in combination with a single dose of propranolol 80 mg, reduces the propranolol area under the curve (AUC) by 29%, reduces the peak concentration by 42%, and increases time to peak concentration by 86% when compared with control. Since the elimination half-life of propranolol did not change, it seems that Eurycoma longifolia alters the kinetics of propranolol by decreasing its absorption in the gut, and not by altering its metabolism. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2A6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2A6 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Testosterone

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia may further increase levels of testosterone.
A clinical study in aging males with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL shows that taking a specific water extract of Eurycoma longifolia roots (Physta; Biotropics Malaysia) 100-200 mg daily with breakfast for 12 weeks increases total testosterone levels by 8% to 11% when compared with placebo. It is unclear whether this increase would occur in individuals with normal testosterone levels.

LJ 100 Tongkat Ali 100 mg by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does LJ 100 Tongkat Ali 100 mg by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, LJ 100 Tongkat Ali 100 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
LJ 100 Tongkat Ali 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does Tongkat Ali actually improve sexual desire?
The evidence says it's possibly effective for that purpose. It's one of the better-studied uses of this supplement, though results aren't guaranteed for everyone.
Will this help me with athletic performance or muscle?
The data we have suggests Tongkat Ali is possibly ineffective for athletic performance. If that's your main goal, this may not be the right supplement.
What are the side effects of Tongkat Ali?
It's generally well tolerated in the short term. The main concern is that it may raise testosterone levels — and if they go too high, you could see acne, insulin resistance, or liver stress. Long-term safety isn't well established.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, and the possible hormonal effects are a concern. While breastfeeding, there's no reliable safety information either. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.
What's in each capsule besides the Tongkat Ali?
Each capsule is made of hypromellose and contains rice flour as a filler. Those are the only other ingredients.
