Adaptogens are a class of herbs and mushrooms that are believed to help the body adapt to and cope with stress. They are thought to work by normalizing the body's physiological functions and promoting balance. Some popular adaptogens include Ashwagandha, Lions mane, Tongkat Ali and ginseng. They are commonly used to improve mental and physical endurance, reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood and cognitive function, and promote overall well-being.

Nootropics are substances that people take with the intent of enhancing their cognitive functions, such as wanting to think more clearly, have a better memory, be more focused, or improve their creativity, etc. Think of them as "brain-boosters" or "brain power”.

Example: If you've ever drunk coffee and felt that you can focus better or feel more alert, you have technically used a form of nootropic. Caffeine, found in coffee, is actually one of the most well-known nootropic substances. However, there are many other nootropics, both natural and synthetic, that are reported to have various benefits and effects on the brain. Lion’s mane, Omega-3, Shilajit, and L-Theanine are other examples of nootropics.

Tongkat Ali, also known as Eurycoma longifolia or Longjack, is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia. The roots of the plant are commonly used as a traditional remedy in various countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia. Tongkat Ali is often taken as a supplement in the form of a powder, capsule, or extract.

It is most commonly touted for its potential benefits related to men's health, including boosting testosterone levels and improving sexual function. It has also been claimed to enhance physical performance, reduce fatigue, and improve mood.

The potency of your extract tincture or powdered supplement is crucial, as it typically requires a significant amount of ingredients to achieve the most advantages and optimal outcomes, as with all botanicals. Many brands commonly offer ratios ranging from 1:1 at the lower range to 10:1 at the higher end.

This ratio indicates that for every 1kg or 10kgs of plant used, 1kg of extract is yielded.

At Ancient Therapy, we take pride in our 10:1 powdered extract. 

Over the past two decades, over 300 research papers and 30 clinical trials on Tongkat Ali have undergone validation by qualified scientists, medical professionals, and certified researchers.

Clinical trials involving human testing have produced substantial evidence supporting the effectiveness of Tongkat Ali in promoting various health benefits. Renowned scientists like Dr. Annie George, Dr. Shawn Talbott, Professor Dr. Anthony Sinskey, Professor Hirokawa, and others have dedicated decades to researching the potential of Tongkat Ali.

For the past 20 years, Tongkat Ali has been utilized as a natural supplement for daily use in pursuit of health goals. To achieve the desired effects, it's recommended to take a daily dosage ranging from 200mg to 450mg over a period of three to six weeks.

Throughout this time frame, there have been no reported adverse effects, fatalities, or legal issues linked to the consumption of Tongkat Ali.
