Longifolia Jack is a small tree found in the jungles throughout Malaysia and Southeat Asia. Longifolia Jack is commonly known as Tongkat Ali, Eurocyma, in Malaysia and Singapore, Piak or Tung Saw in Thailand, and Pasak Bumi in Indonesia. The Longifolia Jack longifolia tree can grow up to about 12 meters in height. Natives consider every part of the Longifolia Jack longifolia tree as medicine. Longifolia Jack is used as a tonic, to treat malaria, and as an aphrodisiac.
For instance, in a recent study at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University Science Malaysia, the effects of Longifolia Jack were studied on the orientation activities of middle-aged rats towards females. The male rats were given Longifolia Jack extract twice daily for ten days. When compared to the controls, the treated male rats showed more interest in the female rats in terms of sniffing, licking and mounting. The male rats were also more interested in their environment, which they expressed by climbing, exploring and self-grooming. The study concluded that Longifolia Jack has a definite effect on the orientation activities of middle-aged male rats.
In a more dramatic study of the aphrodisiac property of Longifolia Jack on sexually inexperienced male rats, an electric grid was used in the rats' cage to deter them from crossing over to the cage with the female rats. The rats treated with Eurocyma were willing to overcome the intensity of the grid current to reach the receptive female rats. The untreated rats, however, did not pursue the female rats.
Results showed that Longifolia Jack continued to enhance and also maintain a high level of the total number of successful crossovers, mountings, intromissions and ejaculations during the 9-12 week observation period. In conclusion, these results further enhanced and strengthened the aphrodisiac property of Longifolia Jack. longifolia.
Additionally, other studies have determined that Longifolia Jack's chemical constituents called quassinoids were found to exhibit anti-tumor and anti-parasitic activities.

Current Research |
As Longifolia Jack is becoming a popular supplement around the world for sexual enhancement, more and more scientists are interested in determining exactly how and why it works. The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has an ongoing five-year Malaysia MIT Biotechnology Partnership Program (MMBPP) to determine the herb's health benefits and to see if it works as an aphrodisiac because it increases testosterone. In Thailand the Faculty of Science of the Mahidol University is investigating the active compounds in Longifolia Jack. And an Indonesian pharmaceutical company is also testing the herb.
Although no human studies have been done, according to anecdotal evidence 80 to 90 percent of people who try Longifolia Jack notice a definite increase in their libido. One 23-year-old woman said, "I have had a low libido and for years I thought something was wrong with me. I didn't think there was anything I could do about it. I tried other prosexual formulas and counted myself successful when I found myself initiating sex with my partner. I came across the Longifolia Jack Longifolia a couple months ago, and figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I took two pills a day, and after about a week and a half noticed that I was actually seeking my partner out and thinking about chance encounters. I have been taking the Longifolia Jack for about two months, and it has definitely helped add a little more vigor to my young life." Another woman, aged 34, remarked, "I tried Longifolia Jack on a whim and didn't really expect anything. After taking it for about two weeks, all of a sudden I noticed that I felt different. I felt more sexually ambitious than before and also had a general elevated sense of well being and happiness." A 41-year-old man who has been using Longifolia Jack on and off for a few months said, "I need to limit my use of this product because the increase in libido can be frustrating. This supplement has been a helpful tool in increasing my wife's libido so that we are on an even playing field. It works for her, and that definitely works for me!"

| If you decide to try it |
Longifolia Jack is a safe and natural alternative to chemical sex enhancers. There are no safety precautions because there have been no documented negative side effects. Longifolia Jack does, however, have other health benefits which scientists are just beginning to investigate, and which we'll be learning about in the coming years.
Notes
Longifolia Jack works. No doubt about that. And in that respect it is in one league with such heavyweights as yohimbe.
But Longifolia Jack also is different from Yohimbe. It's not that (as I have read) one would have to use it over a period of time until it will have an effect.
Like all substances that work for sexual enhancement, Longifolia Jack has an effect that can be felt after one or two hours.
Usually, older men no longer have great sex for two reasons: weak and leaking penile plumbing (inability to initiate or maintain an erection) and rusty wiring (lack of libido and weak orgasms). To deal with just one of the two aspects won't do if one is after the same quality of sex one enjoyed in younger years.
It has been my long-held opinion that a dual approach is necessary: fix the plumbing (Longifolia Jack with, yohimbe), Caution: There is a serious side effects downside with high amount of Yohimbe (heart palpitations, sleeplessness, high blood pressure).
