About Product
Tongkat Ali Root Extract comes from the root of the Eurycoma longifolia tree, which is found in Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
It is believed to have been used since the 15th century in traditional Asian medicine to treat various ailments.
Tongkat extract contains many unique constituents, such as quassinoids, polyphenols, and plant sterols.
*This product contains a small amount of tapioca maltodextrin, which is a starch made from organically grown non-GMO yuca root (cassava root). This starch acts as a drying agent and keeps this powder from clumping into hard chunks or one solid brick. Go here to learn more about why we use non-GMO Yuca Maltodextrin in some products.
