HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Long Jack 250 mg Unflavored by Nutricost

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product is pure Long Jack — one active ingredient, Eurycoma longifolia root extract, at 250 mg per serving. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Long Jack has been studied for sexual desire and general vitality in men, and it appears to work partly by influencing testosterone levels in the body.

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: male vitality and performance 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 Long Jack is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for sexual desire based on available research.

For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's probably not effective. For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works or doesn't.

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.

Short-term use in studies has generally been well tolerated, but we don't have solid data on long-term safety or quality control from product to product. The bigger concern is hormonal: this supplement can raise testosterone levels, and if yours go too high, you could develop acne, insulin resistance, liver strain, or other testosterone-related side effects.

Because of possible hormonal effects, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether to use it.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Eurycoma Longifolia.

Check your exact medications before taking this product. Most important: propranolol (Inderal) and other heart or blood pressure drugs.

Also flag any drug that mentions CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 in its prescribing information. If you're on testosterone therapy, mention this supplement too.

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.

Long Jack may appeal to men interested in sexual desire, but it's not a casual add-on. It interacts with heart medications (especially propranolol) and affects how your liver processes many other drugs.

If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medication, check it here first. Chat with your pharmacist before starting.

Long Jack 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.

Long Jack 250 mg Unflavored by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Long Jack 250 mg Unflavored by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Long Jack 250 mg Unflavored 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?
Long Jack 250 mg Unflavored 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 Long Jack actually work for sexual desire?
The evidence says possibly effective — there's real research behind it, but it's not a slam-dunk. Results vary person to person, and it's not instant. It works partly by raising testosterone levels in men who are low.
Can I take this if I'm on propranolol for my heart?
No. This supplement lowers propranolol levels by about 29%, which means your blood pressure control could weaken. Talk to your doctor before considering any switch or addition.
What are the side effects?
If Long Jack raises your testosterone too high, you may get acne, insulin resistance (blood sugar trouble), or liver strain. Short-term studies show it's generally well tolerated, but long-term safety isn't nailed down yet.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Not in pregnancy — the hormonal effects make it unsafe. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Long Jack slows down several liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2A6) that break down many common drugs. When your liver clears these drugs more slowly, their levels can build up and cause problems.
