Tongkat ali, an herbal remedy deeply embedded in traditional Southeast Asian medicine for centuries, has been employed to address a diverse range of conditions. Its applications include treating fevers, alleviating erectile dysfunction, and combating bacterial infections. While there are indications from studies that tongkat ali might enhance male fertility, reduce stress, and enhance body composition, research in these domains remains somewhat constrained. Notably, in 2021, the European Food Safety Authority issued a warning highlighting the potential of tongkat ali to cause DNA damage.
