The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
Tongkat can also slightly increase DHEA. And if you have a very high SHBG-- again, that's the protein that binds up your androgens and estrogens-- an extremely important protein-- the higher your SHBG, the more it helps decrease it.

And that upregulates several different enzymes in the steroidogenesis cascade.
But tongkat helps with the conversion of multiple key steps where you synthesize testosterone.
the main mechanism that people seem to agree on that it does do suppression of SHBG to some extent as well as the uh upregulation of steroidenesis um intraesticularly so like locally upregulating I believe it's steroidogenic acute regulatory protein that basically incorporates um cholesterol into the mitochondria to actually undergo these enzyatic cleaving uh sequences that result in the production of testosterone locally
