Testosterone is a potent hormone that has a profound effect on athletic performance, which is why finding safe and effective ways to promote natural hormone production with a supplement like the Informed Sport-certified Biogen Tongkat Ali Testo + can benefit athletes.
Testosterone levels may wane due to elevated stress levels, which can occur during periods of high-volume and intense training, when taking specific medications, or from various medical conditions.
Testosterone supports athletic performance due to its role in supporting muscle growth and increasing strength. It also helps to increase bone mineral density¹, which is vital for athletes who engage in high-impact repetitive load-bearing activities, like running, and boosts recovery from training or injury².
A natural boost
Finding ways to enhance natural testosterone production through diet and exercise modifications and supplements can deliver numerous advantages to athletes.
One option is tongkat ali. Also known as Eurycoma longifolia or longjack, tongkat ali is a traditional herbal remedy native to Southeast Asia with a reputation for enhancing testosterone.
This herbal ingredient has a growing body of research backing its ability to help increase testosterone levels to improve muscle and strength gains and positively impact athletic performance.
For instance, a systematic review and meta-analysis³ published in 2022 supports the possible use of E. longifolia (Tongkat ali) supplementation for “enhancing testosterone production”.
Biogen Tongkat Ali Testo + delivers 400mg Eurycoma longifolia Jack per serving, offering a credible single-source ingredient designed to increase testosterone production.
When combined with a customised strength training program, Biogen Tongkat Ali Testo + is intended to support lean muscle mass gains and endurance, while driving recovery and athletic performance.
