HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elevated Tongkat Ali by Raw Forest Foods

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Elevated Tongkat Ali is a powder containing 2 ingredients, both of which are tongkat ali root extract (Eurycoma longifolia). There are no inactive ingredients in this product.

The root extract is the active compound traditionally used to support sexual function and general wellness.

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: Advanced pro-androgenic endocrine support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male Infertility, Muscle strength, Sexual desire — and 3 related terms.
  • 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 Erectile dysfunction (ED), Muscle strength, Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male Infertility.

The evidence for tongkat ali supports one main use: sexual desire is possibly effective. For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward it being possibly ineffective.

For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works or not.

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 data and product quality consistency aren't well established. The extract can raise testosterone levels, which brings a risk of testosterone-related side effects — acne, insulin resistance, liver stress, and others — if your levels climb above the normal range.

You should avoid this product during pregnancy due to insufficient safety data and possible hormonal effects, and avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since there's no reliable safety information for that time.

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 propranolol (Inderal) or any other heart and blood pressure medications before starting — tongkat ali may reduce their levels. Also verify any drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 enzymes, and let your pharmacist know if you're on testosterone therapy or supplements.

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.

If you're interested in tongkat ali for sexual desire and don't take propranolol or medications your liver processes via CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6, this powder may be worth a try short-term. Anyone on heart or blood pressure medications, or taking testosterone therapy, should check with their pharmacist first.

Tongkat Ali Root Extract5 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.

Elevated Tongkat Ali by Raw Forest Foods: Common Questions

Does Elevated Tongkat Ali by Raw Forest Foods interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elevated Tongkat Ali 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?
Elevated Tongkat Ali contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this help with sexual function?
Possibly — the evidence rates sexual desire as possibly effective with tongkat ali. Results aren't guaranteed, and individual responses vary.
Can I take this if I'm trying to gain muscle or improve athletic performance?
The evidence rates athletic performance as possibly ineffective, so tongkat ali doesn't appear to help there. It may raise testosterone, but that alone won't build muscle without proper training.
What happens if tongkat ali raises my testosterone too high?
If your testosterone climbs above the normal range, you may experience acne, insulin resistance (trouble with blood sugar), liver stress, and other testosterone-related side effects. That's why monitoring matters if you use this long-term.
Is it safe to use this long-term?
Short-term studies show it's generally well tolerated, but we don't have solid long-term safety data or quality guarantees across products. Talk to your pharmacist about how long to use it.
Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
No — there isn't enough safety data during pregnancy and possible hormonal effects are a concern, so avoid it. While breastfeeding, there's no reliable safety information either, so it's best to skip it then too.
