tongkat ali seeds for planting Tongkat Ali (Longjack) Extract

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia), also known as Longjack, is one of the most prized tonic herbs of Southeast Asia. The name means "Ali's walking stick" in Malay, a nod to the plant's tall, straight growth and its long, deep roots. It grows wild in the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia, where it has been valued for generations as a traditional daily tonic, taken by both men and women.

Our Tongkat Ali is wild-harvested from mature roots deep in the Indonesian jungle, then prepared as a full-spectrum dual extract. The root is woody and slow-growing, and the mature roots are the most treasured part of the plant.

Yes. Tongkat Ali and Longjack are two names for the same plant, Eurycoma longifolia. "Tongkat Ali" is the Malay name; "Longjack" is the name it became known by in the West. In Indonesia it is also called Pasak Bumi, and you may see it described as "Malaysian ginseng", though it is not related to true ginseng.

What matters most is the quality of the root and how it is extracted. Ours is wild-harvested mature root, prepared as a full-spectrum 10:1 dual extract.

We make our Tongkat Ali as a 10:1 dual extract, using both water and alcohol to capture the widest range of the root's naturally occurring compounds. Many extracts are made at much higher ratios, such as 50:1, 100:1 or even 200:1. A bigger number sounds more impressive, but it does not always make a better extract.

Some of the root's natural compounds are delicate, and prolonged heat or heavy concentration can damage them. By keeping to a gentler 10:1 ratio with a temperature-controlled process, we capture the compounds in the same proportions as the whole root, rather than stripping the extract back to a single fraction. That is what "full spectrum" means.

The liquid extract is then gently dried into a micro-fine powder that dissolves easily into warm water or any drink, with no fillers or bulking agents added.

Start with 0.5g (about a quarter level teaspoon) once a day, in warm water or stirred into your favourite tea, smoothie or drink. This is a potent, concentrated extract, so take it with food and plenty of water. Some build up to 1 to 2g a day, though most find a smaller amount is plenty.

Cycling: many people like to cycle tonic herbs, for example five days on and two days rest. Find a rhythm that suits your routine.

Tongkat Ali sits well alongside other tonic herbs, such as our He Shou Wu or Pine Pollen. Our customer reviews below describe many of the ways people have come to use it.

Tongkat Ali has been taken as a daily tonic in Southeast Asia for generations. As with any concentrated herbal extract, take it sensibly: start with a small amount (0.5g or less), take it with food, and do not exceed the suggested serving.

We would not recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you take any hormone-related or other regular medication, or are under medical care, please speak to a qualified healthcare practitioner before adding Tongkat Ali to your routine.
