    The Spring Festival is coming soon, what are you going to do? Have you considered going to the warmer Southeast Asia?
    "Xinmatai" is a classic route that Chinese people are very familiar with, but if you choose a cheap group tour, be sure to prevent your tour guide from fooling you about shopping, especially for middle-aged and elderly tour groups
    .

    For example, in Malaysia, the tour guide will often take you to buy a magic medicine called "Tongkat Ali"
    .

    "Tongkat Ali" (Tongkat Ali) scientific name Eurycoma longifolia, also called Nanyang ginseng, is a small tree, mainly distributed in Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Laos
    .

    Under the vigorous promotion and promotion of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir, it gradually spread to the world, and is now called the "Malay Three Treasures" alongside bird's nest and pewterware
    .

    Under the lively performance of the instructor, many compatriots of the tour group will be confused and pay for it
    .
    [A magical medicine is not magical]
    Tongkat Ali's root is a traditional medicine.
    It is often sliced ​​and boiled for drinking.
    It is characterized by a very bitter taste
    .

    It claims many "effects", such as antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-AIDS, anti-dysentery, anti-malaria, anti-fever, uric acid, anti-fatigue, anti-cancer, anti-prostatitis and so on
    .

    It is equivalent to making a little tea every day to have more than a dozen "effects".
    It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "magic medicine"
    .

    However, in a systematic review published in the "Journal of Dietary Supplements" in 2013, the author analyzed hundreds of relevant documents, and the final overall conclusion is: the quality of relevant research is generally poor, and the "efficacy" of Tongkat Ali There is no reliable clinical evidence to support it
    .
    Not only that, there are uncertainties in the acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, and contraindications of Tongkat Ali, and many products have been found to have high levels of lead and mercury pollution
    .

    Of course, not all the evidence is detrimental to Tongkat Ali.
    For example, many Malaysian research papers are conclusive and believe that evidence of its "efficacy" has been found
    .

    It seems that horse medicine is the same as traditional Chinese medicine, which promotes the national treasure
    .

    [Plant Viagra] It
    is the biggest heart disease of middle-aged and elderly men who feel that they are "not good".
    Every country has a weird secret recipe for "aphrodisiac".
    Tongkat Ali is the secret recipe that has been passed down in Malaysia for many years
    .

        In the propaganda of some businesses, it is simply born for men, such as invigorating the kidney and strengthening yang, improving sperm motility, treating prostate and so on
    .
     
        However, in a comprehensive study in 2015, the author collected and analyzed 342 articles, only 2 of which involved randomized controlled clinical trials (139 people in total)
    .

        It was found that in some animal experiments, Tongkat Ali seems to increase the willingness of mice to mate, but overall, Tongkat Ali extract did not play a role in "improvement"
    .

     
    [Why aphrodisiac] I can
        indeed see some consumers "showing up" on the Internet, saying that Tongkat Ali is really useful, and even immediate results.
    How can this be explained?
        First of all, these people may be "trust" invited by the merchant or sell related products themselves, which is not uncommon in the marketing of health products
    .

        Secondly, some impotence (ED) is psychogenic.
    If you believe in the "efficacy" of Tongkat Ali, this kind of psychological suggestion can also play a significant role, commonly known as "belief in spirit
    .

        But there is a situation that needs to be vigilant.
    For example, in 2017, the US FDA recalled two coffees that claimed to have added Tongkat Ali because they secretly added a large amount of ingredients similar to Viagra.
    One of the products caused the death of a consumer
    .

        Similar situations are not uncommon in China.
    It is common in products that claim to be anti-fatigue or suggest that they can improve sexual performance.
    They are mostly compressed candy and alcohol.
    Maca wine and various chicken wine are the hardest hit areas
    .

    (Special reminder: China's legal health food does not have aphrodisiac and promote sexual function, the better the effect, the more tricky.
    )  
        In fact, most of the bragging "magic plants" have a fatal injury
    .

        If it integrates more than a dozen or even dozens of "functions" into one and has no side effects, why have so many financially strong pharmaceutical companies not develop it?
        As long as one of these "functions" can be developed, you can make a fortune.
    Do you look down on the R&D capabilities of pharmaceutical giants?
        What about the recommendation of the Malay Prime Minister? People are rushing to make foreign exchange through exports
    .

        If you want to understand this, it's not that easy to be fooled by a salesperson
    .
