From the desk of Joseph Kersey:
 

There is no doubt about it. Yohimbe works and it works beautifully as far as ‘engineering’ erection is concerned. In fact it is extremely effective when it comes to maintaining a solid erection.

Unbeknownst to many, yohimbe or more specially yohimbine was approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) pre-Viagra days. And yohimbine is the prescription medication of choice for doctors whose patients are suffering from ED.

First a quick primer on the difference yohimbe / yohimbine:

Yohimbe refers to the bark of a tree species known as pausinystalia yohimbe found mainly in west Africa. The active ingredient found within the bark yohimbe however, is known as yohimbine.

In short, yohimbe refers to the bark. Yohimbine refers to the active ingredient. Yohimbe is sold as a dietary supplement while yohimbine is a prescription medication.

The effect of the active ingredient, yohimbine, can be obtained from taking a sufficient amount of the bark, yohimbe (which contain the active ingredient yohimbine), or by using a prescription medication with the active ingredient yohimbine.

However, yohimbine comes with side effects that may be uncomfortable to many including heart palpitations and insomnia. Users have reported losing sleep for up to 24 hours.

Different people react differently to different substances. It is no secret that Viagra works on 75% of men who takes it. In the case of users who report experiencing extreme side effects, chances are, they took too much yohimbine.

As an example, the most common prescribe dosage for Viagra is 100 mg. Personally for me though, 25 mg is all I need to produce a solid rock-hard erection that stays hard even after ejaculation. Taking anything more than that will produce uncomfortable side effects along with an orgasm that feels like nothing. Yes Viagra has the most undesirable side effect of suppressing orgasmic intensity.

So the proper way to use yohimbe / yohimbine is to obtain a quality yohimbe supplement or the prescription medication yohimbe and start taking them in minute amount. Forget about standard dosage. Your body is different. So is everyone else. Take them in small amount and observe how your body reacts to it. This is the best way. You discover how much your body needs to produce the desired effects without excessive side effects.

Now, as effective as Yohimbe may be in terms of engineering erection, it isn’t really the ticket to great sex. Or rather it is just one part of the equation.

You see, having superb sex isn’t just about having a rock-solid erection. That’s important. But besides that, you also have to have a strong desire to have sex. In layman’s term, you got to feel ‘horny’. A strong sexual desire creates sexual tension and a need for orgasmic release.

Have you ever tried having sex when you have absolute no desire whatsoever? How did it feel? Bored? How was orgasm like when it comes? Decent but certainly not mind-blowing I’m sure.

So how can you increase or engineer sexual desire? How can you increase your libido and boost your desire to have sex?

Well to answer this question, I want you to think about when was the time in your life that all you ever think about is sex. When was the time in your life where your sexual desire is the greatest? If you’re like every other men, that would be your teenage years and your early 20s. But as you turn 30 and beyond, your sexual desire will start to diminish over the years. Along with that, your energy level is lower, you get tired out easily and physically you start to put on fats and lose muscle.

There is a reason for all these symptoms. Some people refer to it generically as part and parcel of aging. But the real underlying cause is…

A Decrease in Your Testosterone Level

Our testosterone level is at its peak during our teenage years and early 20s. That is the reason why we have a raging and insatiable sexual appetite at that age along with a lean and mean physique. But once we turn 30, our testosterone level starts to decline and by the time we’re 50, the level is pretty low.

Testosterone is such an important hormone in men that a decreasing level do not just adversely affect our sexual vitality. It has a negative effect in all areas of our life.

What happens when your testosterone level drops:


        Sexual Level

• Decrease in spontaneous early morning erection
• Decrease in libido or desire for sex
• Decrease in fullness of erection
• Decrease in volume of semen
• Decrease in strength of climax
• Difficulty in maintaining full erection
• Difficulty in starting erection
  
  
  Mental Level:
   
• Mental fatigue, inability to concentrate; feeling burnout
• Tiredness or sleepiness in the afternoon or early evening
• Decease in mental sharpness, attention, wit
• Decrease in initiative or desire to start new project
• Decrease in competitiveness
• Decrease interest in life; boredom, apathy
• Increase forgetfulness
• Feeling depress. A sense that life have lost significance
• Aches, joint and muscle pain
  
  
  Physical Level:
   
• Decline in flexibility and mobility; increase stiffness
• Decrease in muscle size, tone and strength
• Decrease in physical stamina
• Decrease in athletic performance
• Unexplained weight gain
• Increased fat distribution
• Increase in total cholesterol
• Rise in blood sugar level or diabetes onset
• Rise in blood pressure

I know. That’s a long list and this only goes to show the importance of testosterone is to our body. In fact, it is appropriate to refer testosterone as key to the Fountain of Youth for men. The El’Dorado of sexual prowess and vitality in men.

The medical solution to a deceasing testosterone is called Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). This is a process whereby synthetic testosterone is introduced into your body. Now before you go rushed off to get a TRT injection, pause for a while and read the side effects/ 

The renowned Mayo Clinic lists the following side effects associated with testosterone replacement therapy:

• Testicle and penile shrinkage (testicular atrophy)
• Limit sperm production (infertility)
• Cause skin reactions
• Cause fluid retention
• Cause baldness
• Cause or aggravate sleep apnea (brief, repeated cessation of breathing during sleep)
• Stimulate non-cancerous (benign) growth of the prostate and cause or worsen urinary symptoms
• Stimulate growth of prostate cancer that's already present
• Enlarge breasts (gynecomastia)
• Stimulate growth of breast cancer that's already present

It’s a pretty ugly list and one of the most undesirable side effect is the shrinkage of the penile and testes. The medical term for the condition is "testicular atrophy". With prolonged usage, your penis will eventually shrink to the size of your little finger.

Now imagine this. You get a high sex drive with the testosterone replacement therapy, yes, but your erected penis is reduced to the size of your thumb. Not a good scenario, isn't it?

“Why would this happen,” you asked. You see, synthetic testosterone acts like our body’s own testosterone. Therefore when it is introduced into our body, through our hormonal feedback system, the synthetic testosterone causes our Leydig cells to shut down production of our own natural testosterone. And it is the testosterone production by our Leydig cells that transform us from boys to men.

Fortunately, there is a natural herbal supplement that will effectively increase the level of testosterone in our body with the ugly side effects

A Natural Herbal Supplement That Boosts Your Testosterone Level By Twofold, Restoring It to Youthful Level... With No Side Effects

Using a rare herb found only in the lush tropical rainforests of Indonesia call Tongkat Ali. Its scientific Latin name is Eurycoma Longifolia Jack. With Tongkat Ali  you can easily raise your testosterone level by as much as two times and enjoy the benefits of:

• A high sex drive and libido
• Longer, harder and more spontaneous erection
• Improve muscle mass and strength
• A boost in energy and vitality
• Increase bone mineral density 
• A sense of well being
• Improve mental functions

How Tongkat Ali Works Naturally Within Your Body To Boost Your Testosterone To Its Youthful Level

Let us briefly recap what happens with testosterone replacement therapy. During such therapies, synthetic testosterone is introduced into your body and it starts to acts like your body's own testosterone. When this happens, your pituitary gland will signal to your Leydig cell and other testosterone synthesizing cell to stop testosterone production. The result: Penile shrinkage and testicular atrophy along with a host of other side effects.

The mechansim of action of the Tongkat Ali is the complete opposite.

First of all, it is a natural herb. It increases your body's testosterone production by stimulating the secretion of Luteinzing Hormones (LH) which in turns stimulate the Leydig cells of your testicles to produce testosterone.

Tongkat Ali also raises your body's levels of free testosterone. A large proportion of the testosterone circulating in your body is bound by a protein call SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin). Testosterone that is bound to SHBG is considered ineffective. Only free testosterone exerts the effects that are attributed to the hormone: one androgenic (masculinizing and sexualizing, both physiologically and mentally, thus enhancing libido) and the other anabolic (building tissue, mainly muscle).

Tongkat Ali Buying Rules So You Get The Best For Your Money

By now, I'm sure you are pretty excited and you want to get your hand on some Tongkat Ali supplement. Hang on there. There are a few things you must watch out for when buying Tongkat Ali online. Here they are:

1. Buy Tongkat Ali Extract and not just Tongkat Ali
2. Buy Tongkat Ali extract that specifies the concentration. At least 1:50. The higher the better. Too low, it doesn't work.
3. Buy a product that contains Tongkat Ali extract and Tongkat Ali Extract only
4. And finally if possible, buy Indonesian and not Malaysia Tongkat Ali.

The active ingredient is found within the roots of Tongkat Ali tree. And the way to extract these active ingredients is take 50 gram of roots and distill it to 1 gram of extract.

Therefore, products that contain 'Tongkat Ali' is just root powder and contain no active ingredient. Hence only go for products Tongkat Ali extract.

It is important to also take note of the extract strength. For example, an extract that is 1:50 means 50 gram of Tongkat Ali root is used to produced 1 gram of extract. An extract that is 1:100 uses 100 gram of root to produced 1 gram of extract. 1:200 is even more potent with 200 gram of roots being used to produced 1 gram of extract.

Thus among the various Tongkat Ali extracts cited above, 1:200 is the most concentrated and potent. However 1:50 is a good start.

Watch out if a product simply say 'Tongkat Ali extract' without specifying the extract strength. The concentration could be 1:5 or just 1:2. Technically it is still an extract. But therapeutically, it will not have any positive effect on your body.

And finally, go for Indonesia Tongkat Ali products. In Malaysia, Tongkat Ali has been declared as a protected plant since 2001 and wild harvesting from its forest is illegal. There is also no Tongkat Ali plantation in Malaysia. So any manufacturer who claims that their Tongkat Ali is from Malaysia is probably stretching the truth or perhaps breaking the law. The other reason for my recommendation is Malaysia's Tongkat Ali has been found to be high in lead content, ranging from 10.64 to 20.72 ppm (parts per million). Campared to Indonesian Tongkat Ali, the lead content according to independent test is just 0.08 ppm.

Now even with these guidelines, you may end up buying an inferior product. After all, sales of supplements are not regulated and it is not uncommon for merchant to make deceitful claims in order to boost sales.

My Personal Recommendation

So if you want my personal recommendation, get your Tongkat Ali extract supplement call SD-200. This is the brand I personally use and recommend to my readers and it has work wonderfully for them and I.

SD-200 is manufactured by Pure Science Supplements, company based in Singapore. A plus point in my opinion. I think it make sense to buy Tongkat Ali extract supplement as close to the source as possible. Another plus point is Singapore has much higher and more stringent health and manufacturing standards than Indonesia.

But the proof of the pudding lies in the eating.

The bottom line is SD-200 Tongkat Ali extract supplements works and works wonderfully well as you will see in the testimonials on their site.

Thank you for reading. I hope my writing has made a positive contribution to your life.
