Tongkat Ali’s applications have evolved to benefit a larger part of our endocrine system; by restoring and regulating hormones, eg: boosting testosterone, promoting a better mood profile, and increasing immunity.

Malaysian Tongkat Ali (or Malaysian Ginseng) is touted as the best Tongkat Ali in the market due to exceptional wild harvesting techniques and superior extraction protocol, coupled with quality standards in its manufacturing processes.

Along with positive reviews by medical and herbalist experts, Malaysia is now the top country that produces quality Tongkat Ali extracts compared to its neighboring countries like Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Top reasons:
1. Malaysia is blessed with 130 million-year-old rainforests, a perfect ecosystem to produce quality Tongkat Ali plants with the highest bioactive content. In general, Malaysian Tongkat Ali has lower levels of toxicity (such as leads, and mercury) compared to Indonesian Tongkat Ali.

2. The Malaysian government has been supporting the commercialization and research development of Tongkat Ali for decades. Malaysia is the first country in the world that publishes Tongkat Ali standard known as the Malaysian Standards MS2409, which prescribes the quality standards for the Tongkat Ali extraction process and manufacturing practices.

3. Malaysia founded the first proprietary extraction method for Tongkat Ali using hot water standardized extract. The world’s first patented Tongkat Ali extract known as Physta was invented in Malaysia in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), United States in the early 2000s.

4. Tongkat Ali industry in Malaysia is backed by strong policies, standards and enforcement by the authorities. The Malaysian government strictly enforces rules and regulations related to the herbal industry including Tongkat Ali. The health authorities in Malaysia are constantly monitoring illegal, fake and counterfeit products in the market. Every product sold in the market or for export is vetted by the Ministry of Health in Malaysia.

In summary, Tongkat Ali is a great Malaysian story that is filled with a rich history, dating back from the 1600s to centuries of tradition of natural wellness.
