Testing whether "Tongkat Ali" actually is Tongkat Ali

The most important test on any product that is sold as Tongkat Ali is whether it is actually Tongkat Ali, or something else.

Tongkat Ali is rare, and it is expensive. Thus, traders, who want to cut costs, substitute it with all kinds of materials, the cheapest of which is plain rice flour.

But no expensive equipment is needed to verify Tongkat Ali. The human sense of taste can reliably detect it.

Tongkat Ali has a uniquely miserable taste that can send shivers down the spine.

Our Tongkat Ali is as genuine as Tongkat Ali can be. It is wild harvested in Batak forests in Northern Sumatra, and processed in Medan, the capital of the Indonesian North Sumatra province.

Thus, our Tongkat Ali extract can serve as a benchmark against which all herbals sold as Tongkat Ali can be tested.

For this reason, we make samples of our basic Tongkat Ali root extract available at just the cost of shipping to both traders (who may buy from China for cheap prices) and private consumers (who may want to know whether what they bought is Tongkat Ali or a fake).

Samples are packaged in small ZIP pouches and mailed from Southeast Asia for the shipping charges of 5 to 10 US dollars, depending on the destination.
