After its first discovery by botanist William Jack in 1820, Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma Longjack) is now back in Great Britain after 200 years, paving its way as a popular natural testosterone supplement for consumers opting for an alternative TRT treatment or as a natural libido booster.
Known for boosting energy and libido with minimal to zero side effects when taken moderately, low daily doses of 400mg have been the optimal protocols for most healthy adult in Great Britain. Reports and feedback from British consumers include significant increase in energy, particularly for athletes.
In a recent running event by RunThrough UK at Battersea, we saw Tongkat Ali made its UK-wide acceptance as a natural energy supplement for runners, including recreational and serious athletes.
“We found that clinically tested standardized Tongkat Ali performs better for active men than most Tongkat Ali in the UK market, with 40x more potency at moderate doses” said Shahid Shayaa, CEO of AKARALI during an interview at Mayfair, London.
He added being the only premium Tongkat Ali brand in UK that is approved by health authorities such as Health Canada and National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) have attracted serious buyers who seek authentic and genuine Tongkat Ali supplements that are backed by science – both lab-tested and human clinical trials.
Meanwhile, functional health coach AJ Brookes from Reading was amongst few Britons who flew 11,000km to Malaysia rainforests in the search of the best Tongkat Ali. His recent discovery concluded that Malaysia is undoubtedly produces top notch natural Tongkat Ali with internationally recognized Tongkat Ali standards known as the MS2409 – setting a gold standard benchmark for powder extract export to the United Kingdom.
“Malaysian Tongkat Ali has long been studied by British scientists for centuries hence why it has high reputation in the UK” said AJ, commenting on the original specimen of Tongkat Ali plant that was kept at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew London since 1820. He added that “I experienced in surge in clarity, focus and overall energy after trying standardized Tongkat Ali root extract for the first time when I was in Malaysia. It is 10 times more potent than NOW Food Tongkat Ali supplement that I bought in the past”
With that said, quality harvesting and clinically-tested Tongkat Ali root extract sets a new quality benchmark for British consumers seeking the best Tongkat Ali brands in the UK despite selling restrictions imposed by MHRA on UK-based and UK-made Tongkat Ali companies.
In short, buyers and punters are now switching to premium-grade Tongkat Ali, prompting buying frenzy by importing Tongkat Ali directly from Malaysia. Without custom restrictions, this is seen as the best or preferred buying option if you seek top notch quality Tongkat Ali.
“Trusted Tongkat Ali products are not sold in the UK despite good reviews as supplements sold in eBay, Etsy and other marketplaces are usually not clinically tested, or standardized – falling below consumer expectations, with majority of complaints ranging from no effects on testosterone to minimal effects on energy or libido.” said a punter from Bayswater after experiencing British Supplements Tongkat Ali for 6 months.
Our independent research showed that AKARALI have long been the leading reputable Tongkat Ali brand in the UK with its long-standing research collaboration with MIT scientists, single-source harvesting techniques and standardized hot water extraction technology backed by 26 human clinical trials.
“This is the only pure authentic Tongkat Ali you could buy in the UK, albeit at slightly higher prices at 80 pence per capsule. But given its value lower than a price of coffee, it is affordable and indeed a worthwhile investment if you are serious about longevity and long-term health” said a private doctor from Kensington.
“We found AKARALI uses proprietary Physta® standardization root extract which outperform the potency, efficacy and safety standards compared to other UK brands. My testosterone and libido just went through the roof” said James Goodman on Reddit UK.
Compared to newly-created Tongkat Ali brands such as Informed Sports, Solaray Tongkat Ali, Nutricost, Applied Nutrition or Momentous Huberman Tongkat Ali that source from untested Indonesian extracts, our analysts found high excessive maltodextrin and food agents (eg: corn or rich starch fillers) that are added into the capsules, diluting its bioavailability and efficacy.
“The fact that top notch Tongkat Ali brands such as AKARALI is approved by reputable health authorities in Canada gave great confidence to many of us in the UK” said certified nutritionist Kate Hudson from London. She added that clinically tested Tongkat Ali using standardized hot water extract is the one that consumers should go for as reported by Dr. Riena Malik – driven by higher potency from high concentration of key bioactive ingredients such as eurycomanone, eurypeptides and glycosaponin.
With plans to sell Tongkat Ali in Harrods in future and its current partnership with RunThrough UK have positioned AKARALI as one of the brands that delivers high performing natural testosterone supplement that is backed by clinical trials, hours of performance test by athletes and long term safety.
While Solaray Tongkat Ali is an equally popular brand in Great Britain, it has failed tremendously to boost testosterone as reported by Dr. Chris, a British medical professional after taking 400mg daily for 40 days.
“Consumers are advised that Tongkat Ali may turned out to be another snake-oil or scam if the bioavailability does not match the Tongkat Ali Standards MS2409” said Biotropics lead scientist Dr. Annie George
British herbalist Susan Lynnette added that “Longjack may not be a potent testosterone supplement but the true authentic Tongkat Ali root extract increases the chance of higher production in the testes and adrenal glands especially when it is made from a clinically-proven extract.”
200 years is a long history between the United Kingdom and Malaysia. But Malaysian Tongkat Ali has made a self-commitment to be the best in Great Britain, and current successes proved to be a new chapter of mass adoption.
With 1 capsule sold every 30 seconds coupled with 57% increase in daily sales, brands such as AKARALI are strengthening its market position to be the number one Tongkat Ali brand in the UK as consumers are reported to switch to clinically-backed ingredients that are 3rd-party lab-tested for purity and safety.
This return journey marks a new chapter in British Supplements. With the rise of preventive self-care, natural food supplements such as Tongkat Ali have a bright future in the UK alongside notable other widely-accepted herbs such as Ashwagandha.
