HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fadogia Agrestis with Tongkat Ali by aSquared Nutrition

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.

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

This product has 2 active ingredients: Tongkat Ali Root Extract and Fadogia Agrestis Stem Extract. Tongkat Ali has been traditionally used to support sexual desire and may increase testosterone levels in aging males; the evidence for that use is rated possibly effective.

Fadogia agrestis is included for athletic performance and sexual function, though reliable evidence for either is not yet established. The capsule itself is made from methylcellulose, an inactive ingredient.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sexual desire — rated "Possibly Effective" (Eurycoma Longifolia) (Natural Medicines).

Tongkat Ali is rated possibly effective for sexual desire. The evidence for athletic performance is rated possibly ineffective, and there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate it for back pain, osteoporosis, or diabetes.

Fadogia agrestis lacks established evidence — we don't have solid data on whether it works for athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, or the other uses it's marketed for.

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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 quality of different products are uncertain. A concern is that if it raises testosterone levels too high, you could see acne, insulin resistance, liver damage, and other testosterone-related side effects.

Fadogia agrestis has very limited human safety data, and animal studies hint at possible harm to the testicles, liver, and kidneys — this is a real caution. During pregnancy, the safety data for Tongkat Ali advises against it; for Fadogia agrestis, no safety data exist so it should be avoided.

During breastfeeding, neither ingredient has reliable safety information, so both should be avoided. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Eurycoma Longifolia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

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.

Does Fadogia Agrestis with Tongkat Ali by aSquared Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fadogia Agrestis with 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?
Fadogia Agrestis with 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 Tongkat Ali actually improve sexual desire?
The evidence is rated possibly effective for sexual desire, meaning some research supports it but the data aren't definitive. Results vary, and quality and dose matter.
Can this product raise my testosterone too much?
Yes — Tongkat Ali can increase testosterone levels. If it raises yours beyond the normal range, you risk acne, insulin resistance, liver damage, and other testosterone-related side effects. If you're concerned about your levels, talk to your doctor.
What's the deal with Fadogia agrestis safety?
Human safety data are scarce, and animal studies suggest possible damage to the testicles, liver, and kidneys. That's why we don't know enough yet to say it's safe long-term.
Is this safe while I'm breastfeeding?
No — neither ingredient has reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're nursing.
Will this work for athletic performance?
Tongkat Ali is rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance, and Fadogia agrestis doesn't have enough evidence to rate. This isn't the product to choose if that's your main goal.
Can I take this with propranolol?
Not without checking first — Tongkat Ali reduces propranolol levels by about 29%, which could make the medication less effective at controlling your heart rate or blood pressure. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to know before you start.
