First documented by British surgeon Dr. William Jack during his visit to Malaysia in 1820, Tongkat Ali or Longjack (Eurycoma longifolia) is a herbal root known for its wide range of health benefits.

British had a long history with Malaysia and the original Tongkat Ali specimen is still stored in The Royal Kews Gardens in London since in 1834. Since then, Tongkat Ali is highly sought after by British consumers who understood the centuries of reported health benefits that supports longevity and vitality.

In Singapore, Tongkat Ali is known as food supplement for overall men's health, commonly used to revitalize health, energy and used by adult women. In recent years, it is used as a sports supplement by athletes and in sports community and major events.

In addition, its anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-aging properties have been widely researched by scientists, functional health professionals in Singapore as one of the best natural remedies for aging adults, sports and to revitalize health.

We are proud to bring the best of Tongkat Ali (LongJack) supplement to Singapore directly to your doorstep with our world’s first clinically tested and lab tested Tongkat Ali root-only extract.

Clinically tested hot water standardized Tongkat Ali extracts sold in Singapore are reported by experts as the gold standard and used by professional athletes, recreational athletes, runners, aging adults and even by health professionals due to the wide range of potential benefits from decades of clinical trials and research.

The herb now sits amongst the natural supplement in Singapore with increasing number of Tongkat Ali extract and capsules imported from Malaysia and Indonesia into the Singapore market, backed by growing clinical trials and human research studies.

Additionally, Tongkat Ali has been widely discussed by Singapore health experts, chemists and pharmacists as some Singapore-based chemistry/pharmacognosy work treats Tongkat Ali (Longjack) as a source of bioactive natural product for testosterone support.

As a result, Tongkat Ali is viewed as the preferred natural choice for Singapore as a daily pre-workout or post-workout supplement stack with other herbs such as Shilajit, maca root, manuka honey, fenugreek seeds and others provided it is taken in moderate doses.

Few herbs carry such a layered Singaporean story. Tongkat Ali was here in Singapore when Farquhar and Raffles founded the colony, dating back 200 years ago.

It was used in the kampungs during the Japanese Occupation, when modern medicine was scarce and traditional remedies carried entire communities through hardship.

Tongkat Ali moved into the HDB heartlands in the 1970s and 80s, migrated into instant coffee sachets in the 1990s, and now sits on gym shelves in Novena and Tampines alike.

It is, in every sense, Tongkat Ali is seen as a local herb for many Singaporeans who appreciates history of botanical plants in South East Asia — one that has simply never needed an introduction.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore recognises Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia, or Malaysian Ginseng) as a natural traditional herb. From a regulatory standpoint, HSA treats Tongkat Ali as a dietary or food supplement, with no approval required if it is used as a traditional herb.

Today, Tongkat Ali is sold across Singapore in Guardian, Watsons, and specialty supplement stores — in capsules, powders, coffees, and tinctures. It has grown to appeal to a wider audience: marathoners andendurance athletes in Singapore who prefer natural herbs for a constant energy boost, as well as aging adults seeking natural hormonal support. It appears in gym bags alongside whey protein, and in the medicine cabinets of older Singaporeans who remember their grandmothers boiling the root on the stove.

The herb's first formal Western documentation came when Singapore itself was just being born. Tongkat Ali was first documented as a medicinal plant by William Jack, a Scottish surgeon-botanist, during his visit to Malaysia in 1820. In his book Descriptions of Malayan Plants (1820–1822), published in the Malayan Miscellanies, he recorded its traditional use among Malaysians.

But there is an even more direct Singapore connection. The Tongkat Ali plant was painted by William Farquhar before he became the first Resident of Singapore — a work now stored at the National Library Board in Singapore. Major-General William Farquhar (1774–1839) served as Commandant and Resident of Melaka from 1803 to 1818, then of Singapore from 1819 to 1823. His passion for botanicals led to the commissioning of the William Farquhar
Collection of Natural History Drawings. The full collection of 477 watercolour botanical drawings — made by Chinese artists at Farquhar's behest — was later donated to the National Museum of Singapore in 1995 and designated one of Singapore's 11 National Treasures in 2006.

In other words, a painting of Tongkat Ali, made by a man who co-founded modern Singapore, is literally a national treasure. The herb was present at Singapore's very founding moment and now used as a natural supplements for sports performance and general revitalization for men and women.
