LJ100 vs Tongkat Ali – Details Explained

LJ100 is an extracted form of Tongkat Ali that is stronger when compared like for like.

The main bioactive ingredient within Tongkat Ali are peptides called Eurypeptides.

For LJ100 they have standardized their process such that it is 22% Eurypeptides.

Whereas natural Tongkat Ali is estimated to contain 2% to 4% Eurypeptides

Price Comparison

Tongkat Ali can be purchased from a number of brands. In this example we’re going to compare it from the DoubleWood brand.

Their Tongkat Ali Complex contains 120 capsules that contain 500mg of Tongkat Ali each – so 60g in total.

Whereas their LJ100 product contains 120 capsules at 100mg each – so 12g in total.

At face value, the non-extracted form contains more Tongkat Ali. However, if we estimate that it contains between 2% – 4% Eurypeptides, then it is 5-10x weaker than the extracted form.

Meaning that LJ100 would have similar levels of Eurypeptides to about 60 – 120g of regular Tongkat Ali.
