Tongkat Ali in SodaPeak: What the Evidence Shows and the Liver Notes

Quick answer

Tongkat ali is a Southeast Asian root, sold as a supplement for testosterone and athletic performance, and it holds line 2 of the SodaPeak blend, so it weighs at most 600 mg per two capsules. LiverTox reports mild rises in total testosterone in human studies, no link to better performance, and a possible rare cause of liver injury.

What it is01

What is tongkat ali in SodaPeak?

Tongkat ali, also called Long Jack, is the root of a Southeast Asian tree, Eurycoma longifolia. The SodaPeak panel lists it second, as "Tongkat Ali Powder (Eurycoma Longifolia Jack) Root".

LiverTox, the NIH liver-injury database, says it is sold in the United States as an over-the-counter supplement promoted for testosterone and athletic performance (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali). That is the source of the "test boost" reputation, so the claim deserves a close look in the next section.

The label says powder, not extract. Powder means ground root, and the concentration inside a capsule can be low. LiverTox adds that extract purity and concentration are not standardized, so the same name can describe very different products.

The research02

Does tongkat ali raise testosterone?

In human studies tongkat ali showed mild rises in total testosterone over weeks, with no change in free testosterone, and the rises were not linked to better athletic performance (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali).

One trial in athletes found no performance effect. A 2021 opinion from the European Food Safety Authority, quoted by LiverTox, said safety has not been established under any condition of use. Those facts sit together: a small signal in a lab number, no payoff in performance, and an open safety question.

None of this tests SodaPeak. The label prints no amount of tongkat ali, so a reader cannot say whether a serving matches any study. This site makes no claim about hormone levels for this product.

Free versus total

Total testosterone counts all the hormone in blood, including the part bound to proteins. Free testosterone is the unbound part. A rise in total with no change in free is a smaller story than headlines suggest. Only a clinician can read either number.

Safety03

Can tongkat ali harm the liver?

LiverTox gives tongkat ali a likelihood score of D, meaning a possible rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury. It does not say the injury is common.

The one case it describes was a bodybuilder, and the entry notes that undisclosed steroid use is an alternative explanation. Side effects at usual doses are uncommon and include nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, headache and rash. Long-term safety is not well documented (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali).

That is why the caution is plain: people with liver disease, and people who take medicines that stress the liver, should ask a clinician before any capsule that lists tongkat ali. FDA warns separately that bodybuilding products can hide steroid-like drugs and cause serious liver injury (FDA, Bodybuilding Products).

Liver warning signs

How much04

How much tongkat ali is in SodaPeak?

The label does not say. It can hold at most 600 mg per two capsules by order, or 300 mg if the two capsules are equal and you take one.

LiverTox lists 100 to 400 mg a day as the traditional dose and notes many online products at 1,000 to 1,600 mg (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali). The ceiling of 600 mg sits above the traditional range and below the common product range. The real amount could be much lower.

  • Tongkat ali

    Room for up to 600 mg
    The most one serving of 2 capsules can hold (label order)600 mg
    100 to 400 mg a day is the traditional range (LiverTox); many products hold 1,000 to 1,600 mg100-400 mg

    The room the label order leaves (600 mg at most) is wider than the studied range, so the label can neither rule the studied amount in nor out. It could hold far less. The label prints no amount. (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali)

  • Boron amino acid chelate

    Room for up to 150 mg of chelate
    The most one serving of 2 capsules can hold (label order)150 mg
    20 mg of boron a day is the adult upper limit (NIH ODS); the label gives no boron figure for the chelateno boron figure

    The label gives the chelate's place in the list, not the boron inside it, so the 20 mg a day adult upper limit for boron cannot be set against it. (NIH ODS, Boron)

Copper bars: the ceiling the label order allows for one serving. Green bars: the amount a source names, laid on the same scale. A ceiling is not a measured amount. Taking 1 capsule instead of 2 halves every ceiling, and no study tested SodaPeak.

The bars show room, not content. The label can neither rule a studied amount in nor out, which is the same problem the proprietary blend page describes for all eight names.

A wider warning05

Why do tongkat ali products need extra care?

Because products promoted for testosterone and bodybuilding are the category where FDA keeps finding hidden drugs.

FDA lists liver injury, mood changes, aggression, heart attack and stroke among harms linked to bodybuilding products that illegally contain steroids or steroid-like substances. The agency also warns that products promoted as alternatives to anabolic steroids, or with claims about androgen effects, are warning signs (FDA, Bodybuilding Products).

That is not a finding about SodaPeak. It is a reason to buy only from sellers who name themselves, to keep your lot code and to report a problem through MedWatch (FDA, MedWatch). Read hidden drugs in supplements for the full FDA picture.

  1. Keep the bottle

    Keep the box, bottle and lot code in case a problem needs to be reported.

  2. Tell your clinician

    Name every supplement you take, including this one.

  3. Report a reaction

    Use FDA's online MedWatch form.

FAQ06

SodaPeak questions people ask

What is tongkat ali good for?

It is sold for testosterone and athletic performance. LiverTox reports mild rises in total testosterone in human studies that were not linked to better performance, so the sale claim goes further than the research.

What is the usual tongkat ali dose?

LiverTox lists 100 to 400 mg a day as the traditional dose and notes online products often hold 1,000 to 1,600 mg. SodaPeak prints no amount for tongkat ali.

Is tongkat ali safe for the liver?

LiverTox rates it a possible rare cause of liver injury, score D. Long-term safety is not well documented. Stop and get care for yellow skin or eyes or dark urine.

What is Eurycoma longifolia?

It is the Latin name of the tree whose root is called tongkat ali or Long Jack. The SodaPeak label uses Eurycoma Longifolia Jack.

Why is tongkat ali second on the SodaPeak label?

Names in a blend are listed from heaviest to lightest, so it weighs at most half of the 1,200 mg total, 600 mg per two capsules, and no more than line 1.

Does tongkat ali show up on drug tests?

We found no source on that. If you are tested for sport, ask the testing body before taking any supplement, because contamination is a known risk.
