HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tongkat Ali Longjack 200 mg by Nugenix

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: Tongkat Ali Root Extract at 200 mg per capsule. Tongkat Ali is a plant root extract traditionally used to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — which are fillers and binders that give the capsule its 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
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: support for male vitality and wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male Infertility, Muscle strength, Sexual desire — and 2 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 Tongkat Ali's effectiveness is mixed depending on what you're using it for. Sexual desire is rated possibly effective based on available research.

Athletic performance, however, is rated possibly ineffective. For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works or not.

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 and the quality of different products on the market remain uncertain. The supplement may raise testosterone levels, and if levels go beyond the normal range, there's a risk of testosterone-related side effects including acne, insulin resistance, and liver problems.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data and possible hormonal effects mean you should avoid it. While breastfeeding, reliable safety information is lacking, so it's best to avoid this supplement too.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

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 before starting if you take propranolol (Inderal) — this supplement can meaningfully reduce its levels and effectiveness. Also double-check any medications your liver processes using CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 enzymes, or any testosterone-containing medications, since this ingredient may theoretically increase their levels, though effects in people aren't yet confirmed.

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.

Tongkat Ali may be worth considering if you're interested in sexual desire support and don't take propranolol or other medications affected by liver enzymes. If you're on any regular prescription medications — especially heart or blood pressure drugs — check with us first.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should skip it.

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.

Tongkat Ali Longjack 200 mg by Nugenix: Common Questions

Does Tongkat Ali Longjack 200 mg by Nugenix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tongkat Ali Longjack 200 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?
Tongkat Ali Longjack 200 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.
Does Tongkat Ali actually work for sexual performance?
Sexual desire is rated possibly effective based on the research we hold. That means there's evidence it may help, but it's not ironclad — your results may vary, and it's worth a trial to see if it works for you.
Can this help with athletic performance?
No — athletic performance is rated possibly ineffective based on available evidence, so this supplement isn't a reliable choice if that's your goal.
What are the side effects if I take it long-term?
Long-term safety isn't well established in studies. The main concern is that if your testosterone goes beyond the normal range, you could develop acne, insulin resistance, liver problems, or other testosterone-related side effects. Short-term use appears generally tolerated.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — avoid it during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data and it may affect hormones. While breastfeeding, there's no reliable safety information, so it's best to skip it too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about your specific situation.
What is Tongkat Ali Root Extract?
It's a concentrated extract from the root of the Tongkat Ali plant, a traditional supplement used to support sexual function and potentially testosterone levels.
Are there any fillers in this capsule?
Yes — the capsule contains rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica as inactive ingredients to form and stabilize the supplement.
