Extraction facility for Tongkat Ali, Black Ginger and Butea Superba

Standardized Botanical Extracts

Wholesale & Retail: Tongkat Ali, Black Ginger, and Butea Superba

Since 1998, Sumatra Pasak Bumi has functioned as a primary manufacturer and global supplier of high-potency ethnobotanicals. Our production focus is defined by the three pillars of Southeast Asian traditional medicine: Tongkat Ali from the Sumatran rainforests, and Black Ginger (กระชายดำ) and Butea Superba (กวาวเครือแดง) from the Thai highlands.

Product Ecosystem Overview

  • Tongkat Ali: Eurycoma longifolia (Sumatra, Indonesia)
  • Black Ginger (กระชายดำ): Kaempferia parviflora (Thailand)
  • Butea Superba (กวาวเครือแดง): Butea superba Roxb. (Thailand)
  • Compliance: GMP-certified in-house manufacturing
  • Purity: Zero excipients or unquantified fillers

I. Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia)

Our flagship Tongkat Ali extracts are derived from wild-harvested roots in Sumatra. Unlike generic "root powders," our extracts are standardized for eurycomanone, the primary quassinoid responsible for the plant's pharmacological profile.

We maintain a strict ratio-to-bioactive correlation. Because we do not dilute our extracts with rice flour or maltodextrin, our capsules remain exceptionally light (under 300mg), serving as a benchmark for purity in an industry often clouded by bulk fillers.

We at Sumatra Pasak Bumi emphasize sustainability. That is why, when Batak tribesmen get Tongkat Ali roots, they bring along twigs with fruits to plant in nearby forests.

Standardized Variations:

  1. Standard Root Extract (2% Eurycomanone): The industry standard for hormonal support.
  2. Fermented Root Extract (4% Eurycomanone): Utilizing a traditional aging process to increase metabolite density.
  3. Root Bark Extract (6% Eurycomanone): Sourced from the cortical layer, which contains the highest resin content.
  4. Leaf Extract (10% Eurycomanone): The most potent natural concentration of eurycomanone available.

II. Thai Black Ginger (กระชายดำ)

Sourced through our tribal alliance with the Thai Hmong (ชาวม้ง) communities, our Black Ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) is grown at altitudes exceeding 1,000 meters. This specific geopedology is essential for the synthesis of Polymethoxyflavones.

Black Ginger is prized in Thai ethnobotany for metabolic optimization and physical endurance. Our extract is standardized to 10% Polymethoxyflavones, ensuring a level of potency that cannot be achieved with lowland-grown or non-standardized rhizome powders.

III. Butea Superba (กวาวเครือแดง)

Known in Thailand as Red Kwao Krua, Butea Superba (กวาวเครือแดง) is a vining legume native to the open-canopy forests of Thailand. Our tubers are wild-crafted and processed to a 4% Butein standardization. It is frequently utilized in tandem with Tongkat Ali to provide a comprehensive phytochemical spectrum for male vitality and circulatory health.
