Since 2023 and beyond I’ve suffered from low testosterone levels. I got my levels checked by the doctor and my T levels were below average, quite low. For me this is understandable because at that point in time:
- I wasn’t lifting weights
- I didn’t eat healthily
- And the main reason…
Antipsychotic medication. In particular, amisulpride.
Amisulpride is one of many antipsychotics which cause greatly elevated prolactin levels. This presence of high prolactin significantly reduces testosterone levels. But you may be a young man in your early twenties and STILL be suffering from low testosterone.
Low testosterone levels:
- Make it harder to build muscle
- Reduces your overall drive (to succeed)
- Makes losing fat harder
- Reduces your sex drive
- Causes depression and anxiety
- Leads to a lack of energy
So what is the solution? I know many men in their thirties, forties and fifties start a TRT program to fix their T levels. But you may not want to go down that route of manipulating your hormones
Enter…
Tongkat Ali!
Tongkat Ali is a southeast Asian herbal supplement which has been proven in clinical trials to boost testosterone levels by up to 37%! (source)
I recently purchased some Tongkat Ali right here and I’ve been taking it for almost two weeks now. The first thing that I’ve noticed is that I have more drive for writing and building Fierce Alpha and my Substack business. As for gaining muscle, it is too early to say. But my sex drive is increasing too.
This is the best Tongkat Ali that I have personally tried, and it doesn’t take any longer than 2-3 weeks for you to notice a difference. Tongkat Ali is hands-down one of the BEST ways to improve low testosterone levels naturally, and as an alternative to TRT (Testosterone-replacement-therapy).
There are tonnes of brands on Amazon selling Tongkat Ali, but I don’t recommend buying your Tongkat Ali from there because most likely it is low quality and won’t give you the same results as this brand. That’s one big problem about most supplements – plenty of promises, but few results. This Tongkat Ali, however is different.
There’s also 228 5 star reviews at this point in time, so you can read through some of them as well before you decide to buy (or not). I am committed on this blog to training naturally – and I really do not want to have to resort to manipulating my hormones for more gains.
Some bodybuilders swear by hormone manipulating supplements… and maybe they ARE necessary, but I’ve only been lifting for 5 months now so I am still pretty much a beginner. As for you, especially if you are a beginner, you should lift naturally for your first 2-5 years in the gym. After this, you will max out your size and won’t get much bigger (without manipulating your hormones).
So if you suffer from low testosterone levels, or suspect that you do, try purchasing some Tongkat Ali today. This stuff is killer – and almost as effective as TRT itself. Not bad for an Asian herb 😉
Peace out,
