How is 1:200 Tongkat Ali extract produced? Two hundred kilograms of root chips are extracted using water under reduced pressure. Vacuum extraction lowers the boiling point, conserving energy while preserving naturally occurring phytochemicals. The resulting concentrate is absorbed back into pasteurized root powder and dried.
This traditional concentration method, originally developed for food applications, allows the full spectrum of plant constituents to remain in proportion. No synthetic solvents or isolated single-compound reconstitution is used.
We operate near Medan, Indonesia, adjacent to the natural rainforest habitat of Eurycoma longifolia. Producing a genuine 1:200 extract requires proximity to fresh raw material; transporting such volumes over long distances is economically impractical.
One truckload of freshly harvested roots typically yields only 10–20 kg of finished 1:200 extract.
Forest fires and land clearing in Indonesia continue to reduce the availability of mature Tongkat Ali trees, making transparent sourcing increasingly important.
