東革阿里與合成代謝類固醇相同，也相反
人們服用合成代謝類固醇來增強肌肉力量或增加肌肉量。事實上，醫師有時會開類固醇給病人，以對抗極度虛弱或消瘦，但並非經常如此。
大多數時候，類固醇會被追求競爭優勢的運動員和渴望擁有更迷人體態的普通男性「濫用」。當然，合成代謝類固醇對兩者都有效。但這也是有代價的。這不只是藥物的代價。
但有些對性參數和生殖器官的影響是很有可能的，甚至是肯定的。這些對讀者來說很有趣，但對受影響的人來說卻不是笑話。
合成代謝類固醇也會擾亂人的性慾。性慾不只是睾酮的功能。正如邁阿密大學的 Michael Schuster 所說，性慾和勃起功能是由大腦和生殖器中的睾酮、雌激素和芳香化酶所調節的 「劑量依賴性和時間敏感性調節的複雜交響樂」。
根據經驗，使用群勃龍的健美運動員知道，如果他們在堆疊中加入睪丸素，那麼挽救性健康的機率會更大，因為睪丸素會部分芳香化為雌激素。但這完全是靠運氣。在某些情況下，它會有幫助，但在其他時候，它不會。
進入東革阿里。Tongkat Ali 可提高睾酮。這在幾乎二十年前的 Tongkatali.org 試驗中已經得到證實。您可以在以下網址看到 2004/2005 年的測試結果
tongkatali.org/tongkat-ali-testosterone.htm
東革阿里可以提高睾酮，這一點也得到了可靠的學術研究的支持。但是東革阿里不僅僅能提高睾酮。它作用於整個荷爾蒙管弦樂團，從下丘腦一直到肉體。從提升睾酮的角度來看，東革阿里與合成代謝類固醇相同。
請參閱以下圖表 comprehensive study 在 Shahira Ezzat 的領導下，8 位科學家完成了關於東革阿里萃取物和睪丸素的研究。和大多數突破性的研究一樣，這項研究也是在實驗動物身上完成的。圖表顯示，在足夠高的劑量下，東革阿里萃取物會使總睾酮增加三倍以上。這種效果的應用劑量是每公斤體重 800 毫克，連續 10 天。
雖然東革阿里與合成代謝類固醇相同，因為它能提升睪丸素的音調，但東革阿里不會關閉睪丸，反而會活化睪丸，因此東革阿里與合成代謝類固醇正好相反。Tongkat Ali 甚至可以幫助健美運動員從類固醇週期中恢復過來。
