Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Ketosterones, particularly those derived from the herb Eurycoma longifolia (commonly known as Tongkat Ali), have a history of traditional use in Southeast Asian herbal medicine. They are believed to support various aspects of vitality, including stamina, libido, and general well-being, which are sometimes linked anecdotally to adrenal function. However, there is limited direct scientific research specifically connecting ketosterones or Tongkat Ali extracts to measurable support of adrenal gland health or function. Most scientific investigations focus on their effects on testosterone levels, stress, and libido rather than direct adrenal support. The traditional rationale for their use commonly stems from the herb's reputation as an "adaptogen," a class of substances believed to help the body resist stressors and maintain balance, which may indirectly involve the adrenal glands. Despite this, robust clinical studies verifying a direct effect on adrenal health are lacking. In summary, while traditional use exists and there is some evidence ketosterones may help the body respond to stress, the direct link to adrenal gland support is not well established in scientific literature.
