In the west, Tongkat Ali is not as well known as certain prescription products that treat erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the product has been used in Southeast Asia for centuries to treat ED and other general health conditions. When ZRT Laboratories produced results from human testing showing that 90 percent of male users had increased testosterone levels, the western cultures rapidly increased demand for the herb. The renowned Dr. Oz went so far as to introduce the product on his daily television show.
The well-intended doctor captured the audience’s attention but did not have time to describe the many uses and sophisticated manufacturing process of the testosterone booster. Nor did Dr. Oz have the time to convey the differences between Tongkat Ali Extract and today’s popular prescription medicines.
Most Commonly Used Prescription Medications
Physicians typically prescribe Viagra, Cialis or Levitra for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Test results confirm that the medicines work for approximately 65 percent of the users.
Some cardiologists prescribe Viagra to help irregular heart rates for persons with end stage heart disease. Persons using nitrates or medicines containing nitrates should never use these three prescriptions. The combination can be fatal.
