KIDNEY KINDNESS was formulated to offer supreme nephrological support as it combines six powerhouse ingredients to provide advanced kidney and urinary tract support.<\/p>\r\n
WHAT’S IN KIDNEY KINDNESS?
ASTRAGALUS ROOT<\/p>\r\n
Astragalus membranaceus is a staple of traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for bolstering the immune system, supporting cardiovascular function and boosting vitality. Additionally, the plant also possesses potent anti-fibrotic properties and has been found in animal studies to support kidney health by reducing renal interstitial fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy and proteinuric nephropathy.[1,2]<\/p>\r\n
Researchers believe that the kidney-aiding benefits of astragalus are due to a combination of factors including increased nitric oxide (NO) production as well as suppression of transforming growth factor beta expression.<\/p>\r\n
An astragalus-based supplement was also found to benefit remaining kidney function (as well as general health & well-being) on individuals with impaired kidney function.[3] Additional human studies have found that astragalus preparations can benefit estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) -- an important metric of kidney function.[4]<\/p>\r\n
ORGANIC MORINGA LEAF
Native to India, moringa oleifera is a plant with a wide range of beneficial biological activities, including[5]:<\/p>\r\n
Antioxidant
Anti-inflammatory
Hepatoprotective
Cardioprotective
Anti-hyperglycemic<\/p>\r\n
Moringa leaves are particularly rich in powerful flavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol and apigenin.[6] A number of studies have been conducted, demonstrating that moringa preparations can increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) as well as decrease the activity of certain noteworthy inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2.[7]<\/p>\r\n
Collectively, this supports antioxidant activity, which combats reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, supporting kidney function and cardiometabolic health.<\/p>\r\n
CRANBERRY FRUIT
Cranberry juice is a well-known remedy for kidney complications and urinary disorders. In fact, clinical research confirms supplementation with cranberries may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).[8] Researchers also have found evidence of cranberries decreasing the ability of bacteria to adhere to the lining of the bladder.<\/p>\r\n
Recent studies also highlight that the bioactives in cranberry may also benefit the gut microbiome.[8]<\/p>\r\n
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a prominent immune support supplement as well as a precursor to glutathione, a major antioxidant in the body.<\/p>\r\n
Human studies indicate significant improvement in residual renal function in individuals with reduced kidney function. These effects are mediated, in part, by reducing oxidative stress and improving outcomes of uremic anemia, common complication in persons with chronic kidney disease..[9]<\/p>\r\n
A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the use of NAC in individuals with kidney complications found that the supplement may benefit kidney function, relieve inflammation and reduce cardiovascular-related events among people with CKD.[10]<\/p>\r\n
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
Oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in both the progression of many disorders, including those affecting the kidneys.<\/p>\r\n
Grape seed extract is rife with powerful phytoactives that demonstrate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Human studies indicate that supplementation with grape seed extract may[11]:<\/p>\r\n
Improve glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria
Increase antioxidant status
Decrease lipid peroxidation and carbonylation<\/p>\r\n
In addition to its hepato-supportive properties, grape seed extract is also known to benefit nitric oxide production, cognitive performance, cardiovascular health, immune function and aging, making it one of the best supplements available, regardless of your goal!<\/p>\r\n
ANDROGRAPHIS EXTRACT
Andrographis (also known as “king of bitters”) is a medicinal herb traditionally used to support improved immune function, reduced inflammation, and antioxidant protection. A growing body of research also supports the use of andrographis for kidney, liver, and joint health benefits.<\/p>\r\n
Moreover, studies suggest that bioactives present in andrographis may reduce hepatic & renal (liver & kidney) alcohol toxicity.[12]<\/p>\r\n
KIDNEY KINDNESS is our premium, research-backed tonic offering supreme nephrological support. Each serving delivers six powerhouse ingredients to provide advanced kidney and urinary tract support.<\/p>\r\n

Anabolic Phytonutrient & Muscle Builder
Novel Muscle Building Supplement<\/p>\r\n
<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Api-Plex Highlights\/Supports:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n The quest for muscle and performance gains has led researchers for years to look for natural compounds that can enhance muscle protein synthesis, boost muscle growth, enhance recovery, and improve performance. Over the years, scientists have come across a number of exciting natural anabolic compounds, but rarely one that has such a broad range of potential benefits as Apigenin.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin Potential Muscle Building & Performance Enhancing Highlights\/Supports:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lean Muscle & Strength Positive Mood Api-Plex<\/strong><\/p>\r\n For Those That Want to…. Apigenin has a natural anabolic effect, as first discovered by researchers at the Korea Food Research Institute.<\/p>\r\n In the initial study that led to Apigenin’s popularity for building muscle, scientists began experimenting with his flavone with mice and the mice receiving the Apigenin had significant muscle mass gains over the mice not receiving it. The greater the dosage of Apigenin the mice took, the larger the quad increase!<\/p>\r\n Apigenin, even before the research showing its natural anabolic benefits, was already regarded as a very exciting compound due to its wide variety of overall benefits including its anti-inflammatory benefits as well as its potential prostate, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties. However, of particular interest to many researchers is Apigenin’s potential anti-cancer benefits, which have made Apigenin the subject of many studies around the world.<\/p>\r\n Another very exciting aspect of Apigenin is its ability to enhance autophagy. Autophagy is a natural cellular mechanism by which by which the cells in our body degrade unnecessary or damaged components within the cell. The process of autophagy helps maintain normal functioning (homeostasis) in the cell. (If you’re familiar with what defragging a computer means, think of that as a good comedic analogy to this process by the cells).<\/p>\r\n Apigenin has also been studied for a wide variety of other potential benefits including its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aromatase, cardiovascular, and antibacterial properties, and more.<\/p>\r\n Muscle Building, Longevity, Anti-Aging Properties, & More Flavonoids\/flavones are bioactive compounds in plants that exert a wide range of biological effects. They fulfill many different functions in plants and the ones in Apigenin have been shown to offer a wide range of potential beneficial effects, including beneficial effects on improved athletic performance and helping to build and preserve muscle tissue.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin Study Relating to Muscle Growth and Performance Enhancement: This study was split into a control group, a lower dose Apigenin group, and a higher dose Apigenin group. Researchers observed that the greater the dose of Apigenin that the mice took, the larger the quadriceps increase.<\/p>\r\n The estimated human equivalent to the dosages used in these studies were 20 mg. for the lower dosage group and 40 mg. for the higher dosage group.<\/p>\r\n There were a number of mechanisms of action noted in the studies, including:<\/p>\r\n Apigenin increased the production of contractile muscle protein (MHC). “We found that apigenin increases quadriceps muscle weight in mice and increases their running distance on an accelerating treadmill.” Let’s Examine Some More of Apigenin’s Potential Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Muscle Mass\/Lean Muscle Gains and Performance Enhancement: When compared to the control group, the higher the dose of Apigenin, the greater the increase in muscle mass. It is also important to note that these increases in muscle size came without increases in total body weight or subcutaneous fat gain.<\/p>\r\n In addition to increased protein synthesis, researchers noted that these muscle gains were due to enhanced myogenic differentiation, increases in the nucleus ratio in muscle fibers (myotubes), and increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. This is significant because p38 MAPK is a major regulator or skeletal muscle development.<\/p>\r\n This makes Apigenin an extremely attractive potential natural muscle building compound.<\/p>\r\n Stamina & Athletic Performance:<\/strong> Anti-Aging & Longevity:<\/strong> In addition to the ones listed above, Apigenin has the potential to be a potent anti-catabolic (muscle preserving) supplement to help fight the muscle wasting effects of aging.<\/p>\r\n The importance of maintaining strength and muscle mass is often overlooked in the scope of most anti-aging supplements, but it can be extremely important for a wide variety of reasons including supporting immune system health, injury prevention, improved mobility & stability, improved self-esteem, and more.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin – Effect on Protein Synthesis:<\/strong> Apigenin has been reported to significantly increase muscle protein synthesis via increased phosphorylation of several key components in the mTOR pathway, including Akt, S6K1, and 4E-BP1.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin also supports the increased expression of protein Prmt7, a potent regulator of muscle mass.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin – Effect on IGF-1 & IGF-2:<\/strong> Apigenin has been shown to support the up-regulatory expression of both IGF-1 and IGF-2 in studies<\/p>\r\n Anti-Aromatase Properties:<\/strong> Aromatase is the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to estradiol (an estrogen). By supporting the reduction of both aromatase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD), Apigenin may also support an increase in natural testosterone levels.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin’s unique ability to inhibit 17β-HSD is very rare and is something that has only been accomplished naturally with very few other flavonoids.<\/p>\r\n Cortisol Modulation:<\/strong> Apigenin may have a beneficial effect on reducing cortisol levels. In cell culture studies using human adrenal cells, reductions in cortisol levels were noted when exposed to Apigenin. Also, Apigenin may have an inhibitory effect on a key cortisol producing enzyme, CYP11B1.<\/p>\r\n As a result, high doses of Apigenin have been noted to lower cortisol levels as well as offer potential mood support benefits.<\/p>\r\n Apigenin and the Elderly:<\/strong> In addition to those, an important thing for the elderly that often gets overlooked is the chance for a better quality of life by helping to prevent the loss of muscle tissue as each % of loss can reflect negatively on one’s health and also on their self-esteem.<\/p>\r\n Prostate Health Benefits:<\/strong> Cardiovascular Benefits:<\/strong> Animal models have shown Apigenin to have cardioprotective effects in rats with hear damage and one study found Apigenin to protect rats against heart attacks by reducing edema, cell death, and oxidative stress.<\/p>\r\n Neuroprotective Benefits:<\/strong> <\/p>\r\n Anabolic Phytonutrient & Muscle Builder <\/strong><\/p>\r\n Api-Plex Highlights\/Supports:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n The quest for muscle and performance gains has led researchers for years to look for natural compounds that can enhance muscle protein synthesis, boost muscle growth, enhance recovery, and improve performance.

They are responsible for removing waste from the body and keeping the body’s water balance regulated, which is important for healthy blood pressure. The higher a person’s blood pressure, the more stress that it can place on the kidneys.<\/p>\r\n Many of the issues that may negatively affect the kidneys can develop over time and go unnoticed.<\/p>\r\n The liver, another vital part of the body’s detoxification system, does have some ability to regenerate damaged cells; however, the kidneys do not – another reason why taking kidney health seriously is so important.<\/p>\r\n Astragalus has been shown in numerous clinical studies to support healthy kidney function and detoxification and is one or the most commonly used herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for a wide variety of uses including to help support kidney and urinary health.<\/p>\r\n Astragalus is believed to help support kidney health and detoxification by improving blood flow, as well as markers of healthy kidney function such as protein content in the urine.<\/p>\r\n Astragalus has been shown to help support increases in eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), which is a measure of how well a person’s kidneys are working.<\/p>\r\n It has also been shown in multiple studies to improve proteinuria, a condition in which abnormal amounts of protein are found in the urine, which is a sign that the kidneys may be damaged or not functioning normally.<\/p>\r\n In addition to helping promote optimal kidney health, Astragalus also helps promote a healthy immune system and support liver and cardiovascular health. It has also been researched for its anti-inflammatory and longevity benefits, as well as its antibacterial and antiviral properties.<\/p>\r\n It has also been reported to help decrease allergy symptoms in some individuals, improve wound healing, and to help some people with chronic fatigue.<\/p>\r\n Grape Seed Extract is a rich source of polyphenols and antioxidants and has been shown in animal studies to reduce kidney damage and support healthy kidney function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory damage.<\/p>\r\n Grape Seed Extract can also help support healthy kidney function by supporting optimal cardiovascular health and healthy blood pressure levels. High blood pressure is one of the main causes of kidney damage as high blood pressure can constrict and narrow blood vessels throughout the body, including to the kidneys and this can lead to more stress and strain on the kidneys.<\/p>\r\n Grape Seed Extract is also a potent antioxidant and promotes a healthy immune system and a wide variety of other potential cardiovascular and overall health benefits.<\/p>\r\n Cranberries are rich in proanthocyanidins, which may prevent certain types of bacteria from attaching to the lining of the urethra and bladder. Cranberry is by far the most popular natural supplement taken for urinary tract infections (UTI’s) and is commonly used to promote optimal kidney and urinary tract health.<\/p>\r\n Milk Thistle has been used for at least 2,000 years as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments; most commonly liver, kidney, and gall bladder problems.<\/p>\r\n Milk Thistle is a great example of an herb that is so good at a particular thing that it becomes associated with that one particular use and people forget or never realize that is has other potential benefits as well. Milk Thistle is so commonly associated with supporting liver health that a lot of people overlook or don’t realize that it also supports optimal kidney and pancreatic health and detoxification.<\/p>\r\n Important note:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Milk Thistle is the name of the herb, Silymarin is the name of the active constituent that delivers the majority of Milk Thistle’s potential benefits. If a product does not state how much Silymarin it is standardized for, you are most likely looking at a cheap non-standardized extract that delivers little to no Silymarin content and therefore has little to no potential benefits.<\/p>\r\n Curcumin C3 Complex® is a patented form of curcumin that has much higher oral bioavailability than many generic curcumin supplements. This form of curcumin has been the subject of a large number of clinical studies and has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties and have a very wide range of potential health benefits.<\/p>\r\n One of the constituents in Curcumin C3 Complex®, Tetrahydrocurcumin, has been shown to be a strong renal protective compound and much of its activity is related to supporting reduced inflammation in renal tissue. It has also been shown to have potential as a renal protective agent, partly through its antioxidant activity supporting the amelioration of oxidative stress induced renal injury in animal studies.<\/p>\r\n Pine Bark Extract supports improved blood flow to the kidneys, which can be beneficial for optimal kidney health. It also has multiple cardiovascular support benefits which may also have beneficial effects on the kidneys.<\/p>\r\n Pine Bark also helps promote urinary tract health and healthy urine flow, as well as supporting prostate health in men.<\/p>\r\n Pine Bark Extract is a potent antioxidant and also has anti-inflammatory properties which have led to it being researched for &\/or used for a wide variety of other potential benefits including cognitive (brain) health, cardiovascular health (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood flow), joint support, vision support, and more.<\/p>\r\n AstraGin® is a natural patented ingredient complex comprised of highly fractionated Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng and created using pharmaceutical grade extraction and processing technology and designed to help enhance nutrient absorption.<\/p>\r\n In short, AstraGin® is designed to help make sure you properly absorb the other great nutrients in Kidney Assist XT for maximum results.<\/p>\r\n Bioperine® is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (Black Pepper) containing 95% piperine.

Tongkat Ali<\/p>\r\n 25 Mg. AstraGin®<\/p>\r\n 10 Mg. Bioperine®<\/p>\r\n SNS Tongkat Ali contains a specialized Tongkat Ali extract that is standardized to a minimum 2% Eurycomanone. This potent extract is up to 20x more concentrated than many other common Tongkat Ali extract products.<\/p>\r\n SNS Tongkat Ali XT Highlights\/Supports: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): What is Eurycomanone? Eurycomanone content ranges for high-quality extracts start at .5% with the upper attainable limits being around 2.7%. Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali contains a minimum of 2% Eurycomanone and as high as 3% Eurycomanone and each batch of raw materials is tested by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia.<\/p>\r\n Simply put – Eurycomanone is what makes Tongkat Ali work for testosterone, libido, & erection quality support.<\/p>\r\n What makes Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali Extract so Special? At these strengths, standardized Tongkat Ali can be used as a natural testosterone booster and libido enhancer with high dosages also being used as a PDE5 inhibitor to support improved erection quality.<\/p>\r\n In addition to its high Eurycomanone percentage, Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract also contains 30 – 38% Glycosaponins, 28 – 32% Polysaccharides, and 18 – 24% Protein – a truly fully disclosed extract.<\/p>\r\n Also, Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract is extracted using ultrasonic hot water extraction to obtain the water-soluble active ingredients (Eurycomanone, polysaccharides, protein, Glycosaponins) and doesn’t use any harsh solvents or chemicals that some brands use in order to try to achieve higher extract ratios while cutting costs.<\/p>\r\n How does Eurycomanone Boost Testosterone Levels? Standardized Tongkat Ali\/Eurycomanone has also been shown to inhibit aromatase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. High serum levels of estrogen can be problematic in males for many reasons, including that high serum levels of estrogen may trick the brain into thinking that enough testosterone is being produced, thereby slowing the natural production of testosterone.<\/p>\r\n In addition, it has also been shown to help reduce cortisol levels. In one study, a 200 mg. dose for 4 weeks was shown to reduce cortisol levels by 16%. Reducing cortisol levels may help support the body against the detrimental effects of chronic stress, resulting in lower tension, anger, irritability, and improved sense of well-being. It may also help support optimal immune function.<\/p>\r\n How long does it take to feel the effects of Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali Extract? For those looking for increased testosterone levels and other benefits, Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali Extract should be used continuously for best results.<\/p>\r\n SNS Tongkat Ali XT contains 300 mg. per capsule of the ultra-potent Bionutricia® extract, which is already considered a high dose and is as much as many people may need. Other individuals may wish to take 2 capsules per day or take two capsules per day for the first week to two weeks and then use one capsule per day thereafter.<\/p>\r\n Can Tongkat Ali be taken by women?

What is Apigenin?
Apigenin is a natural flavonoid found in parsley, celery, chamomile, and citrus fruits that is similar to Quercetin, Hesperidin, Luteolin, and Kaempferol. However, even though its structure is very similar to these compounds, Apigenin has some very different effects in the body than those related substances.<\/p>\r\n
What are flavones\/flavonoids?<\/p>\r\n
Scientists at the Korea Food Research Institute began experimenting with Apigenin in mice and found that the mice receiving Apigenin had significant muscle mass gains of the mice not receiving it.<\/p>\r\n
Increases in the anabolic hormones IGF-1 and IGF-2.
Increases in PGC-1-alpha, a signal molecule that stimulates cells to manufacture more mitochondria.
Triggering of anabolic pathways by activating the enzyme protein arginine methyltransferase-7 (Prmt7) – shown after in vitro research with C2C12 muscle cells.<\/p>\r\n
Some things mentioned in researcher’s conclusions were:<\/p>\r\n
“These events are attributable to upregulation of the Prmt7-PGC-1-alpha-GPR56 signaling pathway.”
“We also found that apigenin induces myogenic differentiation by regulating Prmt7-p38-myoD and the Akt-S6K1 pathway in C2C12 cells.”
“These results suggest that apigenin could be used as a functional food to prevent muscle loss and enhance muscle function.”
We found during our own research on this that the links may change depending on the one provided to this study, but can be found by doing a google search with the terms ‘Korea Food Research’ and ‘Apigenin’.<\/p>\r\n
As mentioned above, Apigenin was shown in studies to increase protein synthesis and the same researchers observed substantial muscle growth. These researchers noticed observable increases in muscle size and function, including increased thickness in the quadriceps muscles and increased running performance.<\/p>\r\n
In studies on mice, after 7 weeks of Apigenin supplementation, researchers let mice run to exhaustion on a treadmill. The ones that had received Apigenin performed better than the ones in the control group. Rodent studies don’t always correlate directly to humans but real world feedback on Apigenin supports the theory that Apigenin may significantly improve stamina and athletic performance in many individuals.<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin has a lot of potential as an anti-aging & longevity supplement for a variety of reasons, many of which are discussed above or below in this write up and range from its potential overall anti-cancer benefits to its cardiovascular, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective benefits, and more.<\/p>\r\n
The mTOR pathway is the pathway in the body that drives muscle protein synthesis. It can be activated by a number of means including by amino acids (leucine), insulin, and various growth factors.<\/p>\r\n
As mentioned above, there are a number of growth factors capable of stimulating mTOR in the body. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is one of these growth factors. Both subtypes of IGF, both IGF-1 and IGF-2, contribute to regulating skeletal muscle development and regeneration (building muscle).<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin has been researched for its anti-aromatase and estrogen-modulating properties; including being studied for its effects on aromatase mRNA gene expression.<\/p>\r\n
Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone released when we encounter threatening and stressful situations. While some cortisol is necessary and even beneficial, chronically elevated levels of cortisol can lead to significant reductions in testosterone, loss of muscle tissue, and fat storage.<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin can have many positive benefits for elderly individuals, including many of the different ones discussed in this writeup. These include Apigenin’s potential prostate, blood pressure, cardiovascular, positive mood, & anti-aging benefits, and more.<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin has been clinically studied and shown to have promising potential to help support prostate health. This has led to Apigenin becoming one of the fastest growing ingredients in terms of popularity in this supplement category.<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin may have positive benefits on cardiovascular health by supporting a reduction in blood pressure and inflammation.<\/p>\r\n
Apigenin has the potential to have a positive benefit on a variety of neurological and mood related issues by supporting improved neuron formation and strengthening connections between brain cells.<\/p>\r\n","gtin12":"891192002336","image":["https:\/\/siteimgs.com\/10017\/item\/api-plex-rendering-front_1660228021-0.jpg"],"brand":"Competitive Edge Labs CEL","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/32273\/competitive-edge-labs-api-plex-90-cap.htm","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"33.99","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/32273\/competitive-edge-labs-api-plex-90-cap.htm","itemCondition":"http:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock"}},{"@type":"Product","name":"Competitive Edge Labs Api-Plex - 2 x 90 Cap TWINPACK","sku":"CG2030","description":"

Ask Yourself a Few Questions:
Would you like to increase your natural testosterone levels?
Would you like to increase your libido\/sex drive?
Do you feel not like yourself anymore?
Do you feel that you could benefit from the things commonly associated with increased natural testosterone levels? (Improved libido, vitality, lean muscle, strength, fat loss, improved sense of well-being, etc.)
^^^ If you answered yes to any of the above questions, Tongkat Ali XT may be right for you.<\/p>\r\n
What is Tongkat Ali\/Eurycoma Longifolia?
Tongkat Ali (also known as Eurycoma Longifolia and Long Jack) is a popular herb that typically grows in countries within Southeast Asia and has been used for centuries for a wide range of benefits including increased libido & vitality, improved sense of well-being, increased testosterone levels, and much more.<\/p>\r\n
Eurycomanone is the active compound found in the roots of Tongkat Ali\/Eurycoma Longifolia that has been shown to increase the amount of total testosterone and free testosterone available in the bloodstream. At higher concentrations, Eurycomanone may also act as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor and support improved erection quality.<\/p>\r\n
Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract contains a minimum of 2% Eurycomanone and as high as 3% Eurycomanone and each batch of raw materials is tested by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) to ensure the levels of several key active ingredients, primarily the Eurycomanone of the extract.<\/p>\r\n
Standardized Tongkat Ali, in this case standardized specifically for Eurycomanone has been shown to improve energy and libido and increase natural and free testosterone levels through stimulating the Leydig cells, while also acting to increase ‘free’ testosterone by unbinding it from the inactivating hormone, SHBG. By lowering SHBG, this ultimately increases the amount of bioavailable testosterone that your body can utilize.<\/p>\r\n
High dosages of Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali may have dramatic effects on libido in as little as 1 to 3 days while lower dosages may take 1 to 2 weeks to notice the effect.<\/p>\r\n
Yes. Women in Borneo have traditionally taken Tongkat Ali as an energy booster. Many women in the US and all over the world use Tongkat Ali for libido, energy, mood support, and to help support progesterone production during menopause.<\/p>\r\n
