To help new and experienced users of Tongkat Ali Extract, here is a mini- checklist to help sort through some of the rhetoric and exaggerations about the all-natural herbal extract.  Whether you are using the extract as a testosterone booster, a bodybuilding aid or as a general health remedy, certain procedures are consistent.
Collection and Harvesting - The collection and harvesting of the Tongkat Ali Extract is basically the same procedure as has been performed for centuries.  The extract is derived from the roots of mature trees called Eurycoma Longifolia.  The ideal tree is 20 - 30 years old and stands about 12 - 15 meters.  The tree contains evergreen-like foliage but is unique because of colorful clusters of flowers intertwined with the natural foliage.
The Eurycoma Longifolia trees are located in the rain forests of Southeast Asia.  The most prolific crops are located in Malaysia and Indonesia.  The Malaysian government has declared that the trees are protected and can only be accessed by native tribesmen.  These forests are called “Adat forests” and are owned by the tribal communities.
The roots of the Eurycoma Longifolia grow vertically.  The roots of the mature trees grow as much as nine feet of 3 meters underground.  To collect the roots requires heavy digging and heavy lifting.  The roots are long, heavy and cumbersome.  Each root usually requires three men to excavate.
The bark of the Eurycoma Longifolia contains many of the same ingredients that are in the roots. However, the concentration is significantly higher in the roots than in any other part of the tree.  The collection and harvesting process for the extract is dependent upon these mature roots.  Extract using younger roots are ineffective.
Extraction Process - Once the roots are collected, the natives carry them through the forests and transport them to the manufacturers. Today’s manufacturing process utilizes high-speed heating and cooling bins to cleanse the roots.  Most manufacturers prefer water as the extraction median but alcohol can also be used.  When they are processed, the roots are then ground into powder form.
Preparation For Distribution - The power is then shaped in capsule, tablet or powder form in varying strengths.  Strengths are designated according to the quantity of grams used to form the tablet.  For example, 1:100 Tongkat Ali Extract means that one gram of the extract was derived from 100 grams of the root powder.  The most powerful recommended strength is 1:200, although other strengths also work.

Most orders are received and delivered by online providers.  These providers use standard shipping carriers.  Standard, overnight and priority shipping options are available.
Use of Tongkat Ali Extract - The herbal medicine does not work the way products like Viagra or online pharmacy work.  The most effective way to use Tongkat Ali Extract is called “cycling.”  Each use should develop the cycling routine that works best for them.
The most popular cycling routine is to take two capsules from five days and then turn the cycle off by waiting two days before beginning the next five days on, two days off cycle.  This cycle will assure the user that they have sufficient testosterone to perform the way the want whenever they choose.
Users of Tongkat Ali will enjoy the flexibility of the extract and the many beneficial side effects, including increased energy.  Whether you seek increased libido, more muscle mass or overall improvement in your health, Tongkat Ali Extract will help accomplish your goals.
