World A.B.S, a company with a reputation for honesty and innovation, have created what we believe to be the most advanced Tongkat Ali product on the market today. Read why below...
Better than 1:200 Extract!
TKA 1:200 started off life as a basic 1:200 extract, sometimes written as 200:1, hence the name. In theory, this means a massive 200 kilos of raw root is used to produce just 1 single kilo of extract. In practice however, there is no way to verify extract ratios, which allows manufacturers in Asia to falsify them before supplying western wholesalers and retailers, flooding the market with low quality extracts labeled as 1:200 Tongkat Ali when in fact they are often not even 1:20.
Wasting 199 kilos of a rare plant that takes many years to grow, and was declared a protected species in Malaysia due to over harvesting, just to produce 1 kilo of extract, is obviously not sustainable or practical and would be very costly, making it unlikely that anyone would ever do so unless for study purposes. It certainly wouldn't be found in cheap supplements!
Often it's not even an extract, just whole /raw roots pulverized in to powder, or even other parts of the plant such as the leaves or bark, both of which contain much lower active constituents compared to the actual root.
Many products have been found to contain no Tongkat Ali at all, just similar looking and tasting but far cheaper substitute herbs, such as Tribulus, which may also raise libido and energy etc, fooling inexperienced users into thinking it's genuine and leaving a good review, helping to fool more people.
Other more dangerous fakes are laced with prescription drugs, such as those found in the blue pill, which is far cheaper to produce but can be fatal if you take too much or it interacts with medications etc. Several brands have been caught doing this, the most notable of which was the popular "XP Tongkat Supreme" which cleverly impregnated the capsule shells instead of mixing it with the extract to avoid detection, which they did for a long time.
You can read more about fraud in the herbal market, with evidence, in our buyers guide here.
See the screen-shot below of a Chinese export director shockingly admitting they fake ratios when asked why all their ratios are the same and suspected to be tribulus. He probably thought that like many retailers, we wouldn't care.
Â
I can happily forward the email with full details, i.p address, etc, to anyone that wants it in case you think it's fake.
Even when genuine, products that rely on extract ratios alone to gage quality and strength can differ wildly, not only between different brands but even between different batches of the same product. This happens due to variations in things such as the quality of the roots, age of the plant, which part was used, how and where it was grown, the way it was extracted and dried, the extract solvents used, temperatures and exposure times to them, etc. Every little thing can make a difference.
Standardisation to the Rescue!
Standardisation, also spelt standardization depending on region, allows the manufacturer to monitor and adjust the active constituents on a granular level, either during extraction or after. This ensures each batch has a consistent quality and potency regardless of other factors, preventing waste and making the actual extract ratio irrelevant.
Standardising extracts to a well known and studied active constituent found only within the plant used, such as eurycomanone in the case of Tongkat Ali, also ensures the product is real, since if it was fake wouldn't contain any eurycomanone.
World A.B.S were one of the first companies to implement standardization, and others are now slowly following suit.
A great article on the importance of standardization can be found here.
The original name "TKA 1:200" remains on the bottle simply to make it easier to find in shopping and image searches, since most people have yet to learn about standardisation and are still searching for 1:200 extracts instead, thinking they're somehow better. Hopefully, their search will lead them to this site, where they will read the above info, become more educated and stop wasting money on fake or low quality extracts.
2.4% Eurycomanone
The Optimal Ratio!
TKA 1:200 is now standardised via HPLC to 2.4% eurycomanone!
2.4% is regarded by World A.B.S as the optimal amount, since there are over 90 active constituents within the plant, including several types of eurycomanone, as seen in the image below. You may need to zoom in!
Each constituent may have effects of its own and/or work in unison with others, so it's best to have a full spectrum extract. Taking any one constituent too high would mean lowering others too much, or eliminating them altogether, removing some of the plant's natural benefits.
Of course, some manufacturers now pretend their extract is standardised when it isn't, with some even claiming 10%+ eurycomanone at prices so low you would struggle to find even a basic extract so cheap. Retailers could test these percentages to prove they are false if they wanted, but many don't bother as the profit margins are too tempting. Ignorance is bliss!
Real 10% extracts do of course exist, but tend to have just 100mg of extract per capsule or less, fewer capsules per bottle, and are very expensive per gram because of the higher costs to produce them. You pay more and receive less, as explained below...
400mg of a 2.4% eurycomanone extract such as the one we sell, is always going to be better than 100mg of a 10% extract, since it will contain almost the same amount of eurycomanone (9.6mg versus 10mg) but also a much larger amount of other active ingredients (390.4mg versus just 90mg) at a much cheaper price per gram. You could take twice the amount and still pay less!
Warning: Stay away from products that use an extract standardized mainly to pointless constituents such as Polysaccharides, Eurypeptides (peptides from the eurycoma plant renamed and registered as eurypeptides to sound better) and Glycosaponins (a polysaccharide made of glucose and saponins). These are common, found in most plants and many foods, and are of little to no benefit in a Tongkat supplement.
HP Ingredients, a Malaysian manufacturer, produced their own very biased and suspicious study claiming these to be of benefit, then patented the formula and ratios to make it look legit, but non-biased scientific studies have never referred to such nonsense. If you want mostly polysaccharides and glucose just eat some fruit, you'll get a lot more and it's a lot cheaper!
Increased Absorption with DRS Capsules.
This is what makes TKA 1:200 truly stand out from the competition!
Some of the active ingredients found in Tongkat Ali extract are acid sensitive, meaning when consumed as raw powder their peak oral bio-availability (the amount that can be absorbed and used by the body) is approximately just 14% or less, and around 33% when administered in a standard capsule.
When administered in DRS (Delayed Release System) capsules however, the peak bio-availability increases to approximately 52%, a gain of 19%!
This is because DRS capsules have a gastro-resistant enteric coating, which allows them to pass through the stomach's gastric acid unharmed instead of being destroyed, and instead slowly break down in the small intestine where the contents can be better absorbed by the body. This also gives a higher concentration in the body for a longer period, as seen below...
Hour
Gastro-Resistant capsules also have the added benefit of reducing or eliminating any stomach related side effects that some users of rival brands experience without them, such as stomach ache, diarrhea and even IBS. It's not common but does happen.
No other Tongkat Ali product uses DRS capsules, which is what makes this the most advanced Tongkat product!
DRS caps are Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Kosher friendly and Non GMO.

Beware of misleading content size claims!
Some brands will state their apparent raw root equivalent as the serving size or capsule contents, e.g. Piping Rock state "1600mg per serving" on their 20:1 product, for £16.25 per bottle. However, if you read the rear you will see each serving size of 2 capsules is 80mg, so just 40mg per cap, making it a whopping £3.38 per gram! (120 x 40mg caps = just 4.8 grams per bottle) and it's not even standardised! They multiplied the actual serving size by 20 to make it sound like a good deal.
Another scam is to sell say 30 x 200mg capsules at a low price and state it's a 1 month supply to sound good, but that's only true if you take just 200mg a day. In Indonesia where Tongkat is a herbal remedy, 800-1200mg of extract daily is recommended, so if your taking just 200mg it probably isn't going to do much.
How do we offer such amazing value?
PoweroftheHerb.com is a verified official re-seller for World A.B.S, and is able to offer prices much lower than the MSRP thanks to our bulk order savings, a large percentage of which is passed on to the customer. Far less profit is made by doing this, but more sales are gained which helps spread the word faster and also gives World A.B.S more bulk orders. Everyone's a winner! To this day nobody has ever beaten our price per gram.
Trusted Independent Extraction & Testing Facilities.
World A.B.S demand high standards and consistent production quality, because of this they outsource their Tongkat Ali root extraction to a European based, AFNOR Certificated (cGMP) partner facility with over 35 years of experience in the extraction and purification of plant materials for use in the nutraceutical and health food industry.
Clean extract with no solvent use!
No class 3 solvents such as methanol, ethanol or alcohol are used, just purified water. No fillers or binders are needed or used either, just clean extract.
The extract is freeze-dried, which prevents any heat damage traditional methods can suffer from and produces a higher quality fine powder.
The final extract is tested in the UK for contaminants such as Mercury and Lead by Intertek and for any microbiological issues such as Salmonella and E Coli by SGS.
The extract is then encapsulated in gastro-resistant DRS capsules, bottled up and labelled by UK based contract manufacturer XTR Nutrition on behalf of World A.B.S.
All of this ensures a high quality extract that's free from any dangerous contents and meets strict European safety standards. This is not just some unknown extract purchased from China and re-branded like many others.

Quality Begins at the Root!
Using high-quality extraction facilities and methods won't help much if the raw material is bad!
To source the finest Tongkat root, World A.B.S use an Indonesian based agent specialising in raw material sourcing, who visits several reputable growers and chipped root suppliers to inspect the available stock in person and negotiate prices on their behalf.
This extra but also important step in the supply chain ensures the best quality at a competitive price.

Best Tongkat iv'e tried and i always buy here as it's cheaper than direct. I hope with all the problems in the economy the prices do not go up...
Best Tongkat product you can buy. I've been using it for years and will continue to do so.
Awesome service and the best TKA prices GLOBALLY - as well as the best discounts. Thank you. I'm hoping TKA powder or 600mg tablets can be sourced
Excellent product, tried a few others including one that claimed to be 10%, this is much better than that and i suspect the other brand conned me. i'll be back
Had tried other brands with some success, but not much, Switched to this brand and wow, what a difference, actualy had too lower the dose to 2 caps from the recommended 3 as my libido was perhaps a little too high and my wife couldnt keep up haha.
