It cuts the binding of the blood protein that holds testosterone inactive. That explains the pattern in its trials: free testosterone rises more than total testosterone. A second idea is that it directly supports testosterone production in the testes, but that is less established. ## Where it fits Tongkat Ali is a move in 3 protocols.
