Tongkat Ali - LJ100^® a Multi-Faceted Herb

has been shown through human clinical trails to be an effective herb for variety of changes and imbalances in the body, including sexual enhancement, Syndrome X, Anti-Aging, Andropause, fat loss, sports nutrition, and more. In the higher doses, it's the ideal supplement for body builders. It's action on the body is proven;and there are clear changes in testosterone, DHEA, cGMP, cAMP, ATP, and SHBG

Tongkat Ali - Mechanism of Action for LJ100^®

LJ100^® works by activating the CYP17 (17 a-hyroxylase/17,20 lyase) enzyme to enhance the matabolism of pregnenolone and 17-OH pregnenolone to yield more dehyroepiandrosterone (DHEA) as well as the metabolism of progesterone and 17-OH progesterone to 4-androstenedione. This is important as DHEA is ultimately converted to testosterone.

Benefits of Testosterone

Testosterone, or male sex hormone, plays a key role in developing and maintaining masculine sexual organ, and promotes secondary sexual characteristics, including the appearance of facial hair, sexual desire, and sexual behavior. Testosterone stimulates metabolism, which promote fat burning, and accelerates muscle growth. Besides sexual health, testosterone is also responsible for numerous biological actions including protein synthesis, oxygen uptake, cholesterol regulation and immune surveillance. It also affects many metabolic activities such as production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, inhibits cells called osteoclasts that enhance bone breakdown, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, liver function and prostate gland growth.

LJ100^® Improve Sport Performance

Testosterone stimulates the expression of IGF-I and down regulates IGF binding protein-4 in the muscle. LJ100^® may mediated through an androgen-receptor-mediated mechanism, improving sport performance by increasing fat free mass, increase arm circumferences and muscle mass, increase muscle strength, and decrese in fat mass. Several studies suggested that testosterone produces muscle hypertrophy in increasing fractional muscle protein synthesis. The increase in muscle mass may be due to the increase in diameter of the muscle fibre. LJ100^® increase maximal voluntary strength in a dose-dependent manner and thus may improve performance in power-lifting events.

If You're Serious About Testosterone Boosting....
LJ100^® is the BODY BUILDER'S CHOICE for boosting your testosterone. It is powerful, it is proven!

LJ100^®is revolutionizing the Sports Nutrition Industry with its fast-acting, pro-hormone effects. With as little as 200 mg per day, serum testosterone levels will increase 70% to 120% within 2 to 3 weeks.

LJ100^® works by signaling the hypothalamus and pituitary glands to naturally increase your own testosterone levels without causing penile or testicular shrinkage. This pro-hormone stimulator transforms bound testosterone (BT) into free testosterone (FT) and thereby decreases body fat, builds and tones muscles, boosts energy levels, and increases sexual wellness.LJ100^® is shown to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic unit of energy in the body. By boosting ATP, overall energy and vitality are increased. LJ100^®provides the energy without the anxiety, jittery nerves or insomnia that accompany caffeine and ephed.

Body Building Benefits:

Greater Testosterone Bioavailability—Unbinds BT and increases FT, without increase in aromatization into estrogen. Approx 80%-150% improvement in serum testosterone in athletes in 2 weeksIncreases 4-Androstenedione - responsible for lean body mass, fat decrease, and muscle building
Does not increase Dihydrotestosterone - responsible for hair loss and prostate swelling associated with Prostate Cancer.
Average Testosterone Increase of 100% in less than 2 weeks—seen in healthy men under age 50.
Increase in cGMP and cAMP by 60%
Increase in ATP production by 80%
DHEA will rise by about 45%
SHBG suppression reduces fat formation
Effective even for those with hormonal damage—Studies show positive results in individuals with hypogonadism

This translates to:

More testosterone for Muscle Build
Improved Work-Out, Endurance, Strength & Energy
Improved Recovery After Work Out
Significantly reduce decreased Body Fat

Sexual Benefits:

Increased mental and physical sensitivity to sexual stimulus due to increase in Phermone An a
Increase free testosterone level in 76% of individuals
Average DHEA Increase 47% in 3 week
Decrease in Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
No excessively long erections and side effects as with Yohimbe and prescription drugs.

Low Bio-available Testosterone can lead to low sex drive, emotional, psychological and behavioral changes. In a human clinical study involving 14 volunteers (7 on 100mg of LJ100^® and 7 on placebo daily for 3 weeks), majority of volunteers scored better in the Sexual Health Inventory Questionnaire, shown decrease in sex hormone binding globulin, show increase in DHEA and free testosterone level. LJ100^®is not only capable in increasing the testosterone production but at the same time it also influences the synthesis of pheromone An a which plays an important role in communication, psychological and sexual behavior both in human and animals.

LJ100^® and Andropause

Andropause is associated with low (bioavailable) testosterone levels. Andropause, also called male menopause, occurs in men are between the ages of 40 and 55. Starting at about age 30, testosterone levels drop by about 10 percent every decade. At the same time, Sex Binding Hormone Globulin, or SHBG, is increasing. SHBG traps much of the testosterone that is still circulating and makes it unavailable to exert its effects in the body's tissues. What's left over does the beneficial work and is known as "bioavailable" testosterone. Human clinical study has shown that LJ100^® (40% Glyco Saponins, 22% Bioactive Eurypeptides) has been shown as safe and effective for treating PADAM (Partial Androgen Deficiency Among Ahging Men), by decreasing SHBG level and increase free bioavailable testosterone.

Anti-aging Properties

Our recent human clinical trials has shown LJ100^® to have secretagogue effect on Growth Hormone and modulates the release of IGF-1. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) enters the liver and is converted into IGF-1. Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a natural anabolic growth factor, regulates cellular growth and development and premature reduction causes cellular apoptosis or cell death. IGF-1 stimulates muscle growth, helps burn fat, promotes healthy blood sugar level, improves the production of white blood cells, and decreases LDL Cholesterol.

LJ100^® Increase Energy

LJ100^®is shown to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic unit of energy in the body. By boosting ATP, overall energy and vitality are increased. LJ100^® provides the energy without the anxiety, jittery nerves or insomnia that accompany caffeine and ephedra.

LJ100^® Modulate Tyroxine and Increase Body Basal Metabolism Rate

LJ100^® modulate the release of Tyroxine, thereby increasing Body Basal Metabolism Rate if a person has lower than normal Tyroxine level. Thyroxin plays a vital role in regulating the body’s overall metabolism. However, 99.95% of the secreted Tyroxine being protein bound, principally to thyroxinebinding globulin (TBG). A person with hypothyroidism ( inadequate thyroxin), burns fewer calories, which makes it difficult for them to expend more calories than they consume.

LJ100^® Modulate Cortisol Level

Cotisol is a steroid hormone that regulates blood pressure, cardiovascular function, the body's use of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. High cortisol enhance the immune response during illnesses and defense the body during health crisis. However, high Cotisol over long period of time may cause obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. On the other hand, inadequate cortisol may cause Adison Disease, a condition occurs in persons of all ages and affects approximately one in 100,000 people per year. Symptoms include fatigue, low blood pressure, weight loss, weakness, loss of appetite, moodiness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. LJ100^® has influence over the adrenal gland and modulate the release of cortisol when the body is ravaged with illnesses.

LJ100^® Improved Blood Glucose Level

Low insulin indicates juvenile diabetes and high levels with high blood glucose indicate maturity onset diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes. LJ100^® does not exert hypoglycemic effect but may influence the cellular uptake of glucose. It is observed that some volunteers who were having Type 2 Diabetes have improved blood sugar while taking LJ100^®.

Improvement in HDL Cholesterol

There was a trend of increment of HDL Cholesterol in the majority of the volunteers while they were on the extract. Improvement in HDL is usually associated with reduced cardiovascular risk.

Most studies quoted on the testosterone boosting effects of Tongkat Ali are actually quoting LJ100^® results. This is because the research team, led by Herbal Powers scientists Professor Johari Mohd Saad, Ph.d. and Dr. Ismail Tambi are at the forefront of Tongkat Ali research and only use the LJ100^® Extract in their studies.
