HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Longjack Tongkat Ali by Bronson

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: Tongkat Ali Root Extract (also called Eurycoma Longifolia). The capsule also includes inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—which are standard binders and fillers that help hold the supplement together.

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: Energy and stamina for adult males.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Male Infertility, Sexual desire, Age-related testosterone deficiency, Erectile dysfunction (ED) — and 4 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 we hold shows that Tongkat Ali is possibly effective for sexual desire. For athletic performance, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

The safety and effectiveness information for back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes is insufficient—we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it 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.

Tongkat Ali is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety isn't established and product quality can vary. Because this supplement can raise testosterone levels, there's a risk of testosterone-related side effects like acne, insulin resistance, and liver stress if levels climb too high.

The ingredient should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—not enough safety data exists for either.

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.

Double-check this product if you take propranolol (Inderal) for blood pressure or heart rhythm—it can significantly reduce how well the drug works. Also verify any medications that are metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6, or if you take testosterone replacement 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 metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 enzymes, this supplement may be worth trying short-term. Check your medications with the tool on this page first, and talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you have liver concerns or take testosterone products.

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.

Longjack Tongkat Ali by Bronson: Common Questions

Does Longjack Tongkat Ali by Bronson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Longjack 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?
Longjack Tongkat Ali 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 work for sexual desire?
The evidence we have rates it as possibly effective for sexual desire, which means there's some support but it's not definitive. Results vary from person to person.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough information to know it's safe, and the supplement's hormone effects raise extra concern.
What are the side effects if testosterone levels go too high?
If Tongkat Ali pushes your testosterone beyond the normal range, you might experience acne, insulin resistance, liver stress, and other testosterone-related side effects. That's why it's important to talk with your doctor if you're already on testosterone therapy.
Is this supplement safe to take long-term?
Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, and product quality can vary between brands. The research so far focuses on short-term use, so talk to your pharmacist about how long you're planning to take it.
What is Tongkat Ali used for?
It's marketed mainly for sexual desire and athletic performance. The evidence supports sexual desire as possibly effective, but suggests it's possibly ineffective for athletic performance.
