When vitamins and supplements and herbs started to be in trend,  suddenly the whole world went into a frenzy in hopes to get the "best" supplements and there were so many companies trying to "claim" their "World's Best Supplements" putting ads to offer up to 5000 mg of Vitamin C. Now we know now, the recommended dosage is only 1000mg after so many years of unfounded claims.

And if you look at the herbs' market now, it's exactly what has happened early 1920s and 1930s. We received countless of questions of "Is your Tongkat Ali 1:200?" with reference to what they read on the internet as the "gospel truth". With our experience since 5 years ago in herbs direct manufacturer from Malaysia, we would like to straighten things out for the internet consumers.

Origins of Tongkat Ali



No longer something uncommon in the herbs' list, Tongkat Ali or also known as Eurycoma Longifolia originated from Malaysia is actually a medium slender tree that grows up to 10 meters in height. The name simply means "Ali's Walking Stick" and is known to be a true aphrodisiac, a natural steroid enhancement, Asian Viagra, among the many names that is given to Tongkat Ali. Our home-grown Viagra is proven to have aphrodisiac properties and helps to improve libido and increase testosterone, 5 times the power of Ginseng, some claimed, and sans the side effects of drugs.

Tongkat Ali Extract 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500?

One of the main misconception about it is the higher the extract, the better, and the more expensive. Well, that's what they say. Like Ginseng, a 10 year old Ginseng will be more expensive than a 1 year old. Maybe there's some truth to that, but again, what most people are unable to understand is the recommended dosage and how much your body can actually take.

Herbs has active ingredients. Less doesn't mean not powerful, More doesn't mean better. In this case, Tongkat Ali is a herb, and has active ingredient, and too much is definitely not good. Due to the mismanagement of information, a lot of unreputable selllers are doing nothing but fabricating information on the net, and without scientific eveidents or backup to what they say is true.

Question is, where does a Canadian company get their Tongkat Ali supply from, if not from South East Asia where it is originated from?

Pure Tongkat Ali Extract

We tell you as it is. Tongkat Ali is a type of herb where we would refer to as "hot". Take Yin and Yang, in herbs, there is hot and cold herbs. Tongkat Ali is known to to have the heaty effect when taken, which means if you're buying a product that claims to have PURE Tongkat Ali extract, it is definitely not true. If you don't develop rashes, uneasiness, migrane, insomnia, bleeding gums, to name a few, after taking the so called pure extract, the product you are taking may be just filled be placebos. Which also means the products is as real as the sellers that are selling it.


Recommended dosage



The late Dr. Azizol Abdul Kadir, award winning and former director of Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) who has contributed significantly to the Herbal Industry of Malaysia and his research in Tongkat Ali recommended dosage for 200mg daily. 1:50 is good, and 1:100 should be the optimal dosage that anyone should ever take.

Tips on buying Tongkat Ali

1) Read the label.

Again reading small prints before you sign any documents is important as well as the product label which you're putting in your mouth. Ever thought of why we care so much about what our cats or dogs eat (checking labels for Vitamins, Minerals, for nice fur etc) and popping in a pill in your mouth not knowing what is it? So read, por favor.


2) Side effects and Dosages.

All herbs may be natural, but there are still active ingredients. Take according to your health condition, consult with your doctor before taking any supplements.

3) Check for credibility
