Tongkat Ali, also known as Eurycoma longifolia, may increase testosterone levels, particularly in men with low testosterone (hypogonadism), according to a study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It works by potentially inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to estradiol, which can lead to increased total testosterone levels. Some studies suggest that Tongkat Ali may also increase the release of free testosterone.
Tongkat Ali contains bioactive compounds like eurycomanones and eurycomanols, which may interfere with the aromatase enzyme, reducing the conversion of testosterone to estradiol.

Phellodendron amurense has many health benefits, including neuroprotective properties. In a detailed 2016 screening study, Phellodendron amurense ranked as one of the most potent extracts for inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of dopamine.1
