<p>You will be very pleased with my results of taking <a href="http://www.testyx.com/lj100_tongkat_ali.htm">tongat ali, especially the LJ100</a>.  I have experienced tremendous improvements in tone and overall body mass. Above I linked the Wikipedia page that is actually very informative.</p>
<p>A big &#8220;side effect&#8221; that I have personally noticed is an increased sex drive. <span class="CPprodDet"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">LJ100 ™ is an extremely high quality 100:1 standardized Tongkat Ali extract. We guarantee this product to be the highest quality LJ100. </span></span></span></p>
<p>Tongkat Ali is the popular folk name for Eurycoma Longifolia, a medium sized, slender rain forest tree. The name Tongkat Ali means Ali’s walking stick and the plant is native to Malaysia, lower burma, Thailand and Indonesia. Tongkat Ali enjoys a history of use that dates back to the 1700’s, and today there is a growing body of serious science that corroborates its traditional uses, specifically for the patented and proprietary brand LJ100 Tongkat Ali standardized extract containing 28% bioactive glycopeptides.</p>
<h2>LJ100 Tongkat Ali in Testyx TPL</h2>
<p>LJ100 is a proprietary, patented ingredient, and has become recognized as the premier brand of Eurycoma Longifolia for supplements that build and tone muscles, boost energy levels, decrease body fat, slow the aging process, and increase libido for health-conscious consumers. LJ100 has undergone an exclusive, patented extraction process to capture the most potent, biologically active compounds. SourceOne Global Partners, headquarters in Chicago, holds the exclusive distribution rights to market and sell LJ100 Tongkat Ali in dietary supplements.</p>
<p>ATP and Lean Muscle</p>
<p>In studies, LJ100 Tongkat Ali extract greatly increases ATP production. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the basic unit of energy in the body, responsible for keeping us alive and going. By increasing ATP, overall energy and vitality are increased. Most people seek more energy and LJ100 Tongkat Ali provides it, without hyper stimulation, jittery nerves or insomnia. Promoting human energy production is a valuable health benefit by itself to make LJ100 Tongkat Ali an enduring botanical superstar. People want energy more than just about any other functional attribute.</p>
<p>Endocrinologists have known for a long time that <a href="http://www.gorillavitamins.com/pd_testyx_testosterone_booster.cfm">testosterone</a> increases the body’s ratio of lean muscle mass to fat. In both animals and humans, <a href="http://www.testyx.com/lj100_tongkat_ali.htm">LJ100 Tongkat Ali increases muscle mass</a>. In a study of men, half the subjects ingested LJ100 and half did not. In an eight-week physical training program the men who consumed LJ100 experienced greater gains in muscle mass and strength than those that did not. This demonstrates the powerful anabolic properties of Tongkat Ali. Instead of turning to the use of dangerous and potentially lethal steroids, it is recommended that more athletes opt for Tongkat Ali. In Malaysia, many professional field hockey players use LJ100 Tongkat Ali as an androgen and swear to its performance-enhancing effects. According to Chris Kilham, ethno botanist, author and lecturer, in a recent article in Physical Magazine,. “LJ100 Tongkat Ali has potential to revolutionize the sport nutrition category.”</p>

<h3>Abstract</h3>
<p class="abs lead">Although male sex is a well-recognized risk factor for stroke, the role of androgens in cerebral ischemia remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated <a href="http://www.testosteronefaqs.com">effects of testosterone</a> on infarct size in both young adult and middle-aged rats (Wistar, 3-month versus 14-month old) and mice (C57/BL6, 3-month versus 12-month old) subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion. In young adult groups, castrates displayed less ischemic damage as compared with intact males and castrates with testosterone replacement (Cortex: 24% in castrates versus 42% in intact versus 40% with <a href="http://www.testyx.com">testosterone</a>; Striatum: 45% versus 73% versus 70%) at 22 h reperfusion. Surprisingly, supplementing testosterone in middle-aged rats to the physiologic levels ordinarily seen in young males reduced infarction (Cortex: 2% with testosterone versus 31%; Striatum: 38% with testosterone versus 68%). <a href="http://testosterone.testyx.com">Testosterone effects</a> on infarct size were blocked by the androgen receptor (AR) antagonist flutamide and further confirmed in young versus middle-aged mice. Baseline cerebral aromatase mRNA levels and activity were not different between young and middle-aged rats. Aromatase activity increased in ischemic tissue, but only in young males. Lastly, stroke damage was not different in aging aromatase knockout mice versus wild-type controls. Our findings indicate that testosterone&#8217;s effects in experimental stroke are age dependent, mediated via AR, but not cerebral aromatase.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica narrow,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Doctors may eventually check <a href="http://hormonefaqs.com/">sex hormones</a> to assess heart disease risk</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica narrow,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> <em>By David March<br />
Johns Hopkins Medicine</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Naturally produced sex hormones may influence the risk and progression of atherosclerosis, or  hardening of the arteries, Johns Hopkins researchers report in a recent study. The findings may help  explain the increased risk men have of developing heart disease, which runs about twofold higher than  women&#8217;s heart disease risk worldwide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The study suggests that older women who produce a relatively high amount of estrogen are  more likely to develop coronary artery calcium, or CAC, a component of the fatty plaque that builds up  in blood vessels and hardens arteries. Older men with relatively high amounts of testosterone are also  more likely to develop CAC. However, once CAC is present, higher testosterone appears to help  prevent CAC from progressing too quickly in men&#8217;s arteries. These findings were presented Nov. 11 at  the American Heart Association&#8217;s annual Scientific Sessions in New Orleans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> &#8220;We know many things that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol  and diabetes,&#8221; said Erin D. Michos, assistant professor of <a href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/medicine/"> medicine</a> at the Johns Hopkins University  School of Medicine and its Heart and Vascular Institute, in an interview. &#8220;But 10 percent to 20  percent of people who get heart disease don&#8217;t have these risk factors, so we need to understand other  factors that might be involved. Our results suggest that someday, in addition to testing your  cholesterol and blood sugar levels to assess your heart disease risk, your doctor may want to measure  your sex hormone levels.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The study assessed whether sex hormones affect the risk of atherosclerosis using data from  the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, or MESA, an ongoing study that&#8217;s been tracking 6,814  patients of four different races since 2000 to determine factors that influence risk of developing  cardiovascular disease. The MESA study recruited healthy people from six communities across the  United States. Through a baseline assessment and regular checkups, researchers track each volunteer  to learn what factors affect a person&#8217;s risk of developing cardiovascular disease or progressing once  the disease develops.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> For the Johns Hopkins study, researchers used data from 2,700 male and 1,646 postmenopausal  female MESA participants who did not use hormone replacement therapy. At the beginning of the  study, participants answered detailed questionnaires about their demographics and medical history,  and they received a basic health assessment measuring their height, weight and blood pressure.  Participants also received a CT scan measuring their baseline level of CAC and had their blood drawn  to measure blood concentrations of various sex hormones, including estradiol, the dominant type of  estrogen in women, and testosterone, the dominant sex hormone in men. About half the participants  had a second CT scan 18 months later. The other half had their second scan 37 months after the  initial scan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Taking into account factors known to affect atherosclerosis risk, such as age, body mass index,  blood pressure, and exercise and smoking habits, Michos and her colleagues assessed whether there  was a correlation between changes in CAC between patients&#8217; two scans and their levels of sex  hormones. In women who had no baseline CAC, the researchers found that women with higher amounts  of estrogen were 30 percent more likely to develop CAC by their second scan than women with lower  levels of estrogen. This risk was most pronounced in women older than 65. Levels of estrogen did not  seem to significantly affect whether CAC increased in women who already had CAC at baseline.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> In those men who had no CAC at baseline, the researchers found that men with higher  testosterone levels were 48 percent more likely to develop CAC than those with the lowest  testosterone levels, with the risk greatest among men older than 55. In men who already had CAC at  baseline, higher testosterone levels appeared to have a protective effect, reducing the chances that  CAC measurements would increase at follow-up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Michos added that the role that sex hormones play in cardiovascular disease is complex, with  often diverse and contradictory effects. While the Johns Hopkins study looked at early  atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, sex hormones may also affect heart disease risk through  other mechanisms, including influencing inflammation, blood clotting and whether blood vessels are  constricted or relaxed. In the future, she and her colleagues plan to study how sex hormone levels  might affect the risk of specific cardiovascular incidents, such as heart attacks and strokes, in men  and women.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> MESA is funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, a member of the National  Institutes of Health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Other researchers who participated in this study are Dhananjay Vaidya, Sherita Hill Golden and  Pamela Ouyang, all of Johns Hopkins; Susan R. Heckbert, of the University of Washington; and Mary  Cushman, of the University of Vermont.</span></p>
