Tongkat Ali Extract (1:100)

Tongkat Ali, or Eurycoma longifolia, is a shrub in the same family as the Chinese tree-of-heaven Ailantus altissima. It is native to Southeast Asia, where the root of the plant is used in traditional medicine as treatment for a wide variety of conditions. It is also used as an aphrodisiac mainly for men, but its effectiveness is yet to be supported by clinical data.

One thing that is good to understand about extracts is the notation regarding strength, often denoted (N:N:) 1:100 or (NX) 100X. This notation refers to the amount of raw material used to produce a given quantity of extracts. 1:10 means that for every gram of extract 10g of raw materials have been used in production. 1:100 means 1g of extract contains the essence of 100g of raw material. While it’s intuitive to assume greater potency with higher concentrations it might not always be true if the actual ratios of compounds in the starting material are unknown. Please understand that even though we might not always have quantitative data on extracts our selection process is dedicated and rigorous, we are picky, and would not sell products we ourselves do not like.
