1900s: The Herbal Healer
With its origins as a widely traded herbal medicine in Southeast Asia in the early 1900s, Tongkat Ali gained esteem for its natural healing properties and was used widely by all sorts of people across the region, particularly in Malaysia. This historical significance sets the stage for AKARALI’s commitment to providing the highest quality Tongkat Ali products to customers across the world.
1980s – 1990s: Local Energy Tonic
In subsequent decades, Tongkat Ali continued to be consumed without strict regulations, primarily sought after as a local energy tonic, aphrodisiac, and remedy for anything from general fever to malaria. During this time, it was primarily hand-harvested by the indigenous community and used informally by a large cross-section of the population. It is this heritage that AKARALI honors, acknowledging the plant’s traditional uses and indigenous best-practices while elevating its quality for a discerning UK market.
2000 – 2007: Pioneering Commercialization
AKARALI stands at the forefront of Tongkat Ali’s commercialization journey, mirroring the plant’s pivotal moment when the Malaysian Government partnered with MIT to create the first patented hot-water standardized Tongkat Ali extract. As AKARALI sets its footstep in the UK, this historical breakthrough underscores AKARALI’s dedication to delivering innovation, excellence, and the best Tongkat Ali products to all customers in the UK.
2009 – 2010: Strategic Investment
Aligned with Tongkat Ali’s wide range of potential benefits, Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, Khazanah, recognized its potential and invested strategically towards boosting the quality and recognition of Tongkat Ali research and commercialization. This resonates with AKARALI’s mission to provide the UK market with the highest quality pure Tongkat Ali extract backed by clinical studies, consultative approach, strategic insights and expertise.
2011: Quality Standards Established
The commitment to quality and excellence reached a pinnacle in 2011 when the Department of Standards Malaysia established stringent quality requirements for commercial Tongkat Ali extracts via Malaysian Standard 2409 (MS2409). MS2409 states that the best Tongkat Ali standardized extract must contain eurycomanone content between 0.8% – 1.5%, polysaccharides above 30%, protein above 20% and glycosaponin above 40%. AKARALI embraces these standards wholeheartedly, ensuring that each Tongkat Ali sold in the UK adheres to the highest specifications.
2015: Traditional Medicine Recognition
