HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Longjack Tongkat Ali Extract 900 mg by NusaPure

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 Tongkat Ali extract, 900 mg per capsule. It's the dried, concentrated form of Eurycoma longifolia root, a plant used traditionally in Southeast Asia.

The capsules also contain inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice powder — which are standard fillers and binders that help hold the capsule 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

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 here is limited. The extract is rated possibly effective for sexual desire based on available research.

For athletic performance, the data suggests it's probably not effective. For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know either way.

If you're thinking about taking this for any of those last three, that's a conversation to have with your doctor.

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 appears generally well tolerated in studies, but we don't know much about what happens if you take it for months or years, and product quality can vary between brands. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — the extract may affect hormone levels, and there isn't enough information to know it's safe for your baby.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Eurycoma Longifolia

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.

Check your medications against this product before taking it, especially if you use propranolol (Inderal) for blood pressure or heart rhythm — the extract can make it less effective. Also flag any drugs broken down by CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 liver enzymes, and testosterone replacement therapy.

Your pharmacist can tell you if your prescriptions 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.

This is a single-ingredient supplement that may help with sexual desire, but it interacts with blood pressure medications and several other drug types through your liver. If you take any prescriptions — especially propranolol or hormone therapy — check them against the interaction tool on this page or talk with your pharmacist before starting.

Long-term safety is uncertain, so this is best used short-term and under guidance.

Longjack Tongkat Ali 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 Extract 900 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Longjack Tongkat Ali Extract 900 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Longjack Tongkat Ali Extract 900 mg 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 Extract 900 mg 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.
Will this actually help with sexual desire?
The evidence says possibly — some studies support it, but the data isn't rock-solid. It's worth trying if you're interested, but results vary from person to person. Talk with your doctor if you're not seeing a change after a few weeks.
Is it safe to take long-term?
We know short-term use is generally well tolerated, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. If you're thinking of taking it regularly for months, check in with your pharmacist about what that looks like for you.
Can I take this if I'm trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during pregnancy because the extract may affect hormone levels, and there isn't enough information to know it's safe during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or midwife about timing and alternatives if you're planning a pregnancy.
What's the difference between this and other Tongkat Ali products?
This product contains one ingredient — the Tongkat Ali extract at 900 mg. Other brands may have different doses, different extract types (water-based vs. powder), or added ingredients. The dose and extraction method can affect how well it works and how it interacts with your medications.
Could this raise my testosterone too much?
Research shows this extract can increase testosterone levels in men with low testosterone. If you have normal or high levels, or if you take hormone therapy, the extra boost could potentially push you beyond the normal range and cause side effects like acne or liver stress. Your doctor can check your baseline testosterone if you're concerned.
