Above all, root powder, ratio extracts and standardised extracts differ in how the producer processes the root and what documentation accompanies the product.\n  <\/p>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Property<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Root powder<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">100:1 extract<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Standardised Physta\u00ae<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Starting material<\/td>\n<td>Dried root<\/td>\n<td>Root from Malaysia<\/td>\n<td>Malaysian <em>Eurycoma longifolia<\/em> root<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing<\/td>\n<td>Drying and milling<\/td>\n<td>Ethanol extraction<\/td>\n<td>Water extraction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stated ratio<\/td>\n<td>Not applicable<\/td>\n<td>100:1 according to supplier information<\/td>\n<td>Focus on defined analytical parameters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standardised markers<\/td>\n<td>None stated on the product page<\/td>\n<td>No specific markers stated<\/td>\n<td>Several parameters, including eurycomanone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Carriers<\/td>\n<td>No additives according to the product page<\/td>\n<td>None according to the product page<\/td>\n<td>Check the current specification and COA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Batch-to-batch consistency<\/td>\n<td>Natural variation may occur<\/td>\n<td>Raw material and process may affect variation<\/td>\n<td>The batch is checked against defined specifications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>\n  In short, the raw material forms answer different questions. Root powder shows that the producer has milled the entire dried root. A 100:1 extract, by contrast, states an extraction ratio. A standardised extract additionally provides defined analytical ranges for selected parameters.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"rotpulver\">\n<h2>What is Tongkat Ali root powder?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Tongkat Ali root powder consists of dried, finely milled root from <em>Eurycoma longifolia<\/em>.<br \/>\n The producer does not perform any extraction, but retains both the water-soluble and insoluble parts of the milled plant material.<br \/>\n For this reason, root powder is often described as a less processed raw material form.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  According to the product page, Aromexperten\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/shop\/botanicals\/tongkat-ali-eurycoma-longifolia\/tongkat-ali-eurycoma-longifolia\/\">Tongkat Ali root powder<\/a> contains 100% pulverised root with no extraction or additives. The origin varies between Malaysia and Indonesia depending on the batch.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  However, less processing does not automatically mean better or worse quality.<br \/>\n  First, the buyer needs to verify the correct species, plant part and country of origin. After that, drying, storage, microbiology, heavy metals and traceability are among the relevant factors.<br \/>\n  In addition, natural variation between different plants can affect the chemical profile.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"extrakt\">\n<h2>What is a Tongkat Ali extract?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  When a producer manufactures an extract, a solvent is used to transfer certain constituents from the root into an extract solution.<br \/>\n  The solvent is then removed in whole or in part, and the result may, for example, be a dry powder.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Extraction also changes the composition of the raw material. Some substances are readily carried over by the chosen solvent, while others largely remain in the plant residues.<br \/>\n  For this reason, a clear product description should state both the plant part and the extraction solvent.<br \/>\n  For extracts, it is also relevant to know the extraction ratio, physical form, any carriers, and analytical data.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  According to the product page, Aromexperten\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/shop\/botanicals\/tongkat-ali-eurycoma-longifolia\/tongkat-ali-1001-extract\/\">Tongkat Ali 100:1 extract<\/a> consists of ethanol-extracted root from Malaysia. The same page states that the product contains no added carrier and is not described as a brand-standardised extract.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"ratio\">\n<h2>What does Tongkat Ali 10:1, 50:1 and 100:1 mean?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  An extraction ratio describes the relationship between the amount of plant material the producer uses and the amount of extract the process yields.<br \/>\n EMA uses, among other terms, the concept of <em>drug extract ratio<\/em>, DER.<br \/>\n Simplified, a stated 100:1 ratio can therefore describe 100 parts of plant material in relation to one part of obtained extract.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  However, it is necessary to know exactly which type of ratio the supplier means.<br \/>\n  EMA distinguishes, among other things, between genuine (native) DER and total DER.<br \/>\n  The genuine ratio refers to plant material in relation to the extract itself, without excipients.<br \/>\n  The total ratio, by contrast, may refer to the finished extract mixture, in which excipients may be included.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  In addition, DER is often stated as a range because process yield can vary.<br \/>\n  Therefore, a standalone marketing value such as 100:1 provides less information than a more complete declaration of raw material quantity, obtained native extract, solvent, process steps and any excipients.\n  <\/p>\n<aside class=\"information-box\">\n<h3>100:1 does not automatically mean 100 times higher content<\/h3>\n<p>\n  A 100:1 ratio does not show that every natural substance is present at one hundred times the concentration compared with root powder.<br \/>\n  Extraction selects substances based on, among other things, their solubility, while other constituents may decrease or be removed.<br \/>\n  Therefore, chemical analysis is required to show the actual content of a specific marker.\n    <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\n  In other words, DER primarily describes a manufacturing-related ratio.<br \/>\n  A marker content, for example eurycomanone as a percentage, by contrast describes an analytical result.<br \/>\n  The information therefore answers different questions and should not be used as if it were the same measure.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"losningsmedel\">\n<h2>Why does the extraction solvent matter?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Water and ethanol have different properties. Therefore, they can extract different parts of the same root material.<br \/>\n  A water extract and an ethanol extract therefore do not necessarily have the same chemical profile, even if the producer starts with the same plant species and plant part.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  EMA\u2019s guidelines also state that the declaration of an extract should include the name and composition of the extraction solvent.<br \/>\n  The information therefore helps the reader understand the manufacturing process and compare different extracts in a more meaningful way.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Aromexperten\u2019s 100:1 product states ethanol extraction, while our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/what-is-physta-standardization-coa-and-tongkat-ali\/\">what Physta\u00ae is<\/a> describes Physta\u00ae as a standardised water extract. Therefore, the products should not be compared solely on how the powder looks in the packaging.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"standardisering\">\n<h2>What is a standardised Tongkat Ali extract?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  In standardisation, the producer selects certain analytical parameters and sets accepted ranges for them.<br \/>\n  Each batch is then checked against the established specification.<br \/>\n  In this way, the buyer receives more information about consistency between production batches.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  WHO describes how marker substances can be used for quality control when not all relevant constituents are fully defined.<br \/>\n  Markers can therefore help with, for example, identity, analysis and reproducibility.<br \/>\n  At the same time, a single marker does not automatically constitute proof of all properties of the product.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/shop\/botanicals\/tongkat-ali-eurycoma-longifolia\/tongkat-ali-physta\/\"><strong>Tongkat Ali Physta\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> uses several specified analytical parameters.<br \/>\n The published batch certificate includes, among other things, eurycomanone, total protein fraction, total polysaccharide content and glycosaponins.<br \/>\n In addition, the document reports physical, microbiological and heavy-metal-related values.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Standardisation therefore provides a different type of information than a standalone ratio.<br \/>\n  However, it does not replace verification of identity, extraction solvent, contaminants, sampling, laboratory method or the origin of the documents.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<aside class=\"comparison-product-link\">\n  <strong>Would you like to see a concrete example of a standardised extract?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the product page for <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/shop\/botanicals\/tongkat-ali-eurycoma-longifolia\/tongkat-ali-physta\/\">Tongkat Ali Physta\u00ae<\/a>, you will find the current batch, analytical values and the associated COA.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<section id=\"produktjamforelse\">\n<h2>How Aromexperten\u2019s three Tongkat Ali raw materials differ<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Tongkat Ali root powder<\/h3>\n<p>\n  The root powder consists of dried and milled root with no extraction.<br \/>\n  Therefore, the focus is on the original botanical plant material.<br \/>\n  The product page also states Malaysia or Indonesia as the origin depending on the current batch.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>2. Tongkat Ali 100:1 extract<\/h3>\n<p>\n  The producer uses ethanol to produce the extract from Malaysian root.<br \/>\n  The product page focuses on the stated 100:1 ratio and states no added carriers.<br \/>\n  However, the product is not described as standardised against a named analytical marker.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>3. Tongkat Ali Physta\u00ae<\/h3>\n<p>\n  Physta\u00ae is a named, water-extracted and standardised raw material.<br \/>\n Here, the focus is instead on defined analytical parameters and batch documentation.<br \/>\n Read the technical deep dive in our guide <a href=\"https:\/\/aromexperten.se\/en\/what-is-physta-standardization-coa-and-tongkat-ali\/\">What is Physta\u00ae?<\/a>.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  In summary, the products represent different forms of processing and documentation.<br \/>\n  They should therefore not be described as interchangeable versions of exactly the same raw material.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"kvalitet\">\n<h2>How to assess the quality of Tongkat Ali powder and extract<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Start with the product\u2019s identity and then proceed to process and analysis.<br \/>\n  A high ratio or a high marker content never provides the full picture on its own.\n  <\/p>\n<ul class=\"checklist\">\n<li><strong>First:<\/strong> Verify the scientific name <em>Eurycoma longifolia<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next:<\/strong> Confirm which plant part has been used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Then:<\/strong> Check the country of origin and batch number.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next:<\/strong> Determine whether the product is root powder or extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For extracts:<\/strong> Check the extraction solvent and its composition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In addition:<\/strong> Check whether the ratio refers to genuine DER or total DER.<\/li>\n<li><strong>At the same time:<\/strong> Review any carriers and other excipients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next:<\/strong> Check named markers and the associated analytical methods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Then:<\/strong> Review microbiology, heavy metals and moisture content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finally:<\/strong> Match the COA and batch number to the actual product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  In addition, you should read reporting limits, footnotes and disclaimers.<br \/>\n  It is also important to distinguish supplier information from independent laboratory or authority assessments.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"missforstand\">\n<h2>Common misconceptions about Tongkat Ali extracts<\/h2>\n<h3>\u201c100:1 is always stronger than a standardised extract\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. A ratio describes the amount of raw material in relation to extract yield.<br \/>\n  Standardisation, by contrast, describes defined analytical ranges.<br \/>\n  Without chemical analysis, it is therefore not possible to compare the actual content of a specific marker.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>\u201cRoot powder and extract contain the same substances in the same proportions\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. The extraction solvent and manufacturing process affect which substances are transferred to the extract.<br \/>\n  Therefore, the proportions can change.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>\u201cStandardised means that authorities have approved the product\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. Standardisation describes the product\u2019s quality control.<br \/>\n  However, it does not automatically establish legal status, safety or approval as food.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>\u201cA COA proves everything about the product\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. A COA shows the parameters that the document actually reports for the specific sample.<br \/>\n  The value of the document also depends on, among other things, sampling, the laboratory, analytical methods and the link to the correct batch.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"eu-status\">\n<h2>Does the raw material form affect the product\u2019s EU status?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Powder, ratio extracts and standardised extracts can differ both chemically and technically.<br \/>\n  Therefore, each exact ingredient and intended use needs to be assessed under the relevant regulations.<br \/>\n  A product\u2019s technical specification therefore does not automatically constitute approval as food or a dietary supplement.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  In 2021, EFSA assessed a specific standardised water extract from <em>Eurycoma longifolia<\/em> root as a novel food.<br \/>\n The panel considered that the data did not establish safety for the proposed conditions of use.<br \/>\n The conclusion applies to the assessed ingredient and application and should therefore not be simplified into a general statement about every possible Tongkat Ali raw material.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Aromexperten presents the compared products as ethnobotanical or technical raw materials.<br \/>\n  The products are therefore not intended for consumption.\n

difference?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Tongkat Ali root powder consists of dried and milled root.<br \/>\n  Therefore, this raw material form contains both soluble and insoluble parts from the original plant material and has no extraction ratio.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  A 100:1 extract, by contrast, has undergone extraction.<br \/>\n  According to the supplier information, the figure describes a ratio between the amount of raw material and the extract obtained, but it does not automatically show the levels of eurycomanone or other specific substances.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  A standardised extract such as Physta\u00ae also uses defined analytical parameters.<br \/>\n  Therefore, certain quality values can be compared against established specifications between batches.<br \/>\n  At the same time, it is still necessary to review extraction solvent, purity, microbiology, heavy metals, sampling and documentation.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Overall, there is therefore no single figure that, on its own, determines which raw material is best documented.<br \/>\n  A serious comparison instead weighs botanical identity, raw material form, manufacturing process, DER, analytical markers, carriers, batch data and intended use.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about Tongkat Ali powder and extract<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the difference between Tongkat Ali powder and extract?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  The producer makes root powder by milling dried root.<br \/>\n  In extraction, by contrast, a solvent is used to transfer certain constituents into a new raw material form.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>What does Tongkat Ali 100:1 mean?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  The information normally describes a ratio between the amount of root used and the amount of extract obtained.<br \/>\n  However, it does not, on its own, show how much eurycomanone or other specific substances the product contains.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>Is 100:1 the same as 100 times stronger?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. Extraction does not concentrate all substances to the same extent.<br \/>\n  Therefore, chemical analysis is required to compare a specific marker content.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>What does standardised Tongkat Ali extract mean?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  It means that the producer has selected certain analytical parameters and checks each batch against defined specifications.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>Is eurycomanone the same as the extraction ratio?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. Eurycomanone is a chemical substance and can be used as an analytical marker.<br \/>\n  The extraction ratio, by contrast, describes a relationship between plant material and extract.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>Why do you need to know the extraction solvent?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  Different solvents can extract different parts of the plant material.<br \/>\n  Therefore, for example, water extracts and ethanol extracts can have different chemical profiles.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>Is Physta\u00ae the same as Tongkat Ali 100:1?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  No. Physta\u00ae is a named and standardised water extract.<br \/>\n  Aromexperten\u2019s 100:1 product, by contrast, is an ethanol extract where the product information focuses on the stated extraction ratio.\n  <\/p>\n<h3>Where can I see the current Tongkat Ali Physta\u00ae batch?<\/h3>\n<p>\n  The current batch, analytical values and associated COA are available on the product page for <a
