Overview

With rising consumer awareness, Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma Longifolia) has become a sought-after herbal supplement in the US. But buying the best Tongkat Ali supplement in the US requires more than just surface knowledge.

As demand grows, so do concerns about product quality and authenticity. Here’s what consumers should look out for when purchasing Tongkat Ali in the US.

Tips When Buying Tongkat Ali in the US

1. Origin and Source Quality:

The origin of Tongkat Ali is paramount and the highest quality Tongkat Ali is believed to be sourced from Malaysia, as most of the extracts exported to the US adhere to the Tongkat Ali Standard MS2409. Malaysian Tongkat Ali is renowned in the US due to its long history of research and development by MIT scientists since the early 2000.

According to a leading herbal supplier in the US, consumers are advised to go for wild harvested Tongkat Ali root (i.e Akar Ali) extract that is considered the most pure, potent, organic and natural.

2. Extraction Method:

Buying Tongkat Ali extract produced from standardized hot water extraction delivers higher potency and efficacy, and this is currently the best-selling premium Tongkat Ali extract you could buy.

Leading reputable brands in the US such as AKARALI use standardized hot water extraction technology developed by MIT and Malaysian scientists, setting new benchmark for potency, purity and safety.

According to a US-based New World Report, “US-patented hot water extraction by AKARALI is amongst the best Tongkat Ali root extract you could find in America, as US buyers are seeking higher potency from premium root extracts. Backed by clinical trials and lab tests, it is the purest form of Tongkat Ali extract you could buy in America”

3. Clinical Testing and Certification:

Consumers should prioritize supplements that have undergone rigorous clinical testing. AKARALI makes it’s mark in the US as the world's first clinically tested and 3^rd party lab tested Tongkat Ali supplement, boasting over 26 clinical trials since its inception.

Additionally, third-party lab tested Tongkat Ali products, by EUROFINS, BSCG or Informed Sports, are growing popular in the United States due to the stringent quality tests against adulterants or banned substances to meet high safety FDA dietary supplement standards.

“There are plenty of 3^rd party lab-tested Tongkat Ali supplements in Walmart to choose from, but consumer should stick to brands that are known for single ingredient” said Dave, a sourcing agent working for Walmart in New York.

4. Concentration and Dosage:

As Tongkat Ali supplements vary in concentration, consumers should look for products that clearly indicate the concentration of active compounds, typically standardized to specific bioactive ingredients. The recommended daily dosage should also be clearly stated, and consumers should adhere to these guidelines to avoid adverse side effects.
