Tongkat Ali Dosage
In this section, you will find our simplified guide to Tongkat Ali dosage. We have formulated this guide from our first-hand experience using Tongkat Ali extract over many years.
Tongkat Ali Dosage Overview
Firstly, we have separated Tongkat Ali usage into three cycles: Increasing, Maintenance, and Lowering. Using Tongkat Ali extract in this way will help you manage your testosterone levels and get the most from your Tongkat Ali purchase.
Increasing Cycle
To increase your testosterone level with TKA 1:200 Tongkat Ali extract, we advise taking the full recommended dosage of three capsules per day as follows:
- One 400mg capsule first thing in the morning
- A second 400mg capsule in the middle of your day
- And a third 400mg capsule last thing at night
Tongkat Ali should be taken in this dosage until you feel your testosterone has reached the desired level.
Bodybuilding Usage
If you are using Tongkat Ali for bodybuilding, wait until you can feel the testosterone boost positively affecting your workouts. Then, move to one of the Maintenance Cycles listed below.
Low Testosterone Usage
When using Tongkat ali for low testosterone, it is best to start with the increasing cycle until you feel your symptoms subsiding, keep using the increasing cycle for another four days and then move to one of the Maintenance Cycles listed below.
Maintenance Cycle
We have illustrated two methods of maintaining a high testosterone level with Tongkat Ali extract. You will have to experiment and find which works best for you.
Method 1: Take one capsule first thing in the morning and a second capsule at night. Take your Tongkat Ali like this for five days, with two days off.
Method 2: Use one capsule per day, taken last thing at night, with one day off every four days.
The Maintenance Cycles shown above can be used indefinitely. Still, we recommend having a complete two-week rest from Tongkat Ali at least every fourteen weeks.
Lowering Cycle
Suppose you wish to reduce your dosage or stop using Tongkat Ali altogether. In that case, it is best to slowly lower the number of capsules you take rather than just cutting out your Tongkat Ali usage.
If you have been taking the three capsules per day as per the Increasing Cycle, drop to the Maintenance Cycle Method 1 for five days, followed by Maintenance Cycle Method 2 for three days, and then move to the lowering cycle illustrated below.
From taking one capsule daily as per the Maintenance Cycle Method 2, lower down to one capsule taken on alternating days for five days running, take a break of three days and then take one capsule midday on alternate days for another three days.
Tongkat Ali Dosage Long-term
We are often asked, "How long can I stay on Tongkat Ali extract?" this depends on what you are using your Tongkat Ali for and how you use it.
Suppose you suffered from low testosterone and improved this using Tongkat Ali extract. In that case, you can use Tongkat Ali indefinitely using the Maintenance Cycles illustrated above.
When using the Maintenance Cycle correctly, your body should produce a healthy testosterone level naturally, and side effects should be non-existent.
Suppose you are using Tongkat Ali extract at higher doses for bodybuilding. In that case, you will need to rest at least four weeks every fourteen weeks of usage.
