What is LJ100?
LJ100 is the brand name of an extract of Tongkat Ali that has specifically been studied in the context of boosting testosterone production. The ingredients of note are:
- 40% Glyco Saponins
- 22% Eurypeptides
It has been patented (see patent #7,132,117), and is made by a company called HP Ingredients who are based in Florida. They source the plant itself from Malaysia, and it is processed in a Malaysian GMP factory. Once the product is completed, it’s provided wholesale to supplement companies to add to their branded products.
Price comparison vs regular Tongkat
Tongkat Ali can be purchased from a number of brands. In this example we’re going to compare it from the Double Wood 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.
