Tongkat Ali Physta Improves Testosterone and Vitality in Aging Men
Dr. Kumar’s Take
This trial shows that a standardized Tongkat Ali extract called Physta can lift testosterone and improve measures of vitality in older men. Effects were most meaningful in men with lower starting levels. It is not a substitute for medical therapy in true hypogonadism, but it can be a useful tool alongside sleep, training, and nutrition.
Key Takeaways
✔ Physta increased total testosterone compared with placebo in aging men.
✔ Participants reported better vitality and sexual well being scores.
✔ Safety profile was favorable with few mild adverse events.
✔ Benefits were stronger in men with lower baseline testosterone.
