HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Longjack Extract by BulkSupplements.com

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 contains one active ingredient: Longjack Root Extract, a concentrated form of Eurycoma longifolia, a plant from Southeast Asia. There are no inactive ingredients listed in this formulation — it's just the extract itself in powder form.

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 Eurycoma Longifolia's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Eurycoma Longifolia 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 ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sexual desire — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Longjack is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for sexual desire based on available studies.

For athletic performance, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective. The safety and effectiveness data for back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes are too limited to rate — we simply don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works for those uses.

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.

Longjack is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but we don't have solid information on long-term safety or product quality consistency. There's a caution about testosterone: some research suggests it may increase testosterone levels, and if levels go beyond the normal range, there's potential for side effects like acne, insulin resistance, and liver concerns.

You should avoid this product during pregnancy due to insufficient safety data and possible hormonal effects. While breastfeeding, there's not enough reliable safety information, so it's best to skip it.

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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take propranolol (Inderal) or any blood pressure medication — Longjack can reduce its effectiveness. Also flag any medications that rely on your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 enzyme systems, or if you're on testosterone therapy.

Your pharmacist can confirm whether any of your current drugs fall into these categories.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Longjack may be worth considering if you're exploring options for sexual desire, but it's not a proven option for athletic performance or several other uses. The main concern is its interaction with propranolol and the theoretical effects on medications your liver processes.

If you take heart or blood pressure medications, hormonal drugs, or other prescriptions, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction profile here is worth a conversation.

Longjack 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.

Longjack Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Longjack Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Longjack Extract 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?
Longjack Extract 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 Longjack actually work for improving sexual desire?
The evidence says it's possibly effective — meaning there's some research support, but it's not definitive. Results vary, and more studies would help us understand it better. It's worth trying if you're curious, but talk with your doctor first if you have any underlying health concerns.
Can I take Longjack while I'm on propranolol for my heart?
No — at least not without talking to your doctor first. Studies show Longjack reduces propranolol levels by about 29%, which could make your heart medication less effective. Your doctor needs to know you're considering this before you start it.
What are the side effects if testosterone levels get too high?
If Longjack pushes your testosterone above the normal range, you could develop acne, insulin resistance, liver problems, and other testosterone-related effects. This is why it matters to know your baseline testosterone before taking it, especially if you're already on testosterone therapy.
Is Longjack safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No to both. There's not enough safety data during pregnancy, and the possible hormonal effects make it risky, so avoid it. While breastfeeding, there's also not enough reliable information — it's best to wait until you're done.
How long can I safely take Longjack?
The safety data we have comes from short-term studies, so we don't know much about long-term safety or whether product quality stays consistent over time. Talk with your doctor about how long you plan to use it.
Does this powder have any fillers or added ingredients?
No — this product is just the Longjack Root Extract powder with no inactive ingredients listed. It's a straightforward single-ingredient formula.
