Study review
Tongkat Ali and Testosterone: What the Studies Found
Tongkat ali testosterone studies exist, but they used other extracts and doses. A 2022 meta-analysis of five trials found higher total testosterone with Eurycoma extracts (Eurycoma and testosterone (meta-analysis, 2022)). A one-month open study used 200 mg a day (Tambi 2012, Tongkat Ali 200 mg and late-onset hypogonadism). The HoneyBoost label prints 25 mg per gummy, 8 times less.

Pooled result
What did the 2022 meta-analysis find about tongkat ali and testosterone?
It found higher total testosterone with Eurycoma extracts. The team pooled five randomized trials from nine studies in healthy and low-testosterone men (Eurycoma and testosterone (meta-analysis, 2022)).
The result was a standardized difference of 1.352, not a count of ng/dL. Dose and extract varied. The authors said it supports a possible use and that more research is needed before clinical use.
LiverTox adds a limit: studies show mild rises in total testosterone, not free testosterone (LiverTox, Tongkat Ali).
No source tests HoneyBoost or its seven-line formula. These findings belong to other extracts at other doses.
The 200 mg study
What happened in the one-month study at 200 mg a day?
Seventy-six men with late-onset low testosterone took 200 mg a day of a standardized water-soluble extract for a month (Tambi 2012, Tongkat Ali 200 mg and late-onset hypogonadism). Their testosterone and symptom scores improved.
The share of men with normal testosterone rose from 35.5% to 90.8%. It was an open study with no placebo group, so no one was compared with a sugar pill.
A 4-week trial of 63 stressed adults, men and women, found salivary testosterone 37% higher and cortisol 16% lower in the tongkat ali group (Talbott 2013, Tongkat Ali, stress hormones). The abstract gives no dose.
| Study | Who | Length | Placebo? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 meta-analysis | Healthy and low-testosterone men, 5 trials | Varied | Pooled trials |
| Open study, 200 mg | 76 men, late-onset low testosterone | 1 month | No |
The dose gap
How does 25 mg of tongkat ali compare with 200 mg?
The HoneyBoost label amount is 8 times below the 200 mg study dose. Each gummy prints 25 mg of tongkat ali root extract at 100:1.
The 2,500 mg root equivalent is the root used to make the extract, not what is in the gummy. See the bars below and our label vs studies page.

What should you do if you worry about low testosterone?
See a doctor, because low testosterone is a medical finding with a blood test (MedlinePlus, Testosterone levels test). The label makes no testosterone claim in words.
Finding the cause is an important first step (Mayo Clinic, Male hypogonadism (low testosterone)). Keep taking prescribed medicine, and ask a pharmacist before adding a supplement. Chest pain means call 911.
