China manufacturer supply Herbal extract tongkat ali extract

Tongkat Ali’s scientific name Eurycoma longifolia (family Simaroubaceae) explains a little about the characteristic of this plant. In its original root words in Greek, “eurys” means broad while “come” means “a tufted bush”, so the combination word Eurycoma refers to growth habit of its compound leaves that spirals out at the the tip of its slender trunk in a large dense rosette. In Latin, “Longus” means long and Folia refers to the leaves, so its specific epithet Longifolia tells about its compound leaflets that are long and slender, often reaching 20 cm in length.

Tongkat ali, according to Wikipeida, is a flowering plant in the family Simaroubaceae native to Malaysia and Indonesia. This small pant is found as an understorey of lowland forests and grows wildly in Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam, Java, Sumatra, Thailand and Borneo. Tongkat Ali has many other names, such as Long Jack, Eurycoma longifolia, pasak bumi. Tongkat Ali gets its nickname Ali's Walking Stick or Longjack in the West because of the herb's aphrodisiac effects. The root has been used as traditional medicine and promoted as a tonic, energy enhancer, and as an aphrodisiac.
