Formula Theory and Overview

Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Powder is not a traditional formula in the classical sense—and we’re reluctant not to present it as such. Yet it is far more than a simple blend of ingredients.

Crafted with precision, purpose, and a deep respect for both the traditional ethnobotanical uses of Tongkat Ali and the contemporary scientific understanding of it, Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Powder integrates a full-spectrum, highly concentrated 200:1 Tongkat Ali extract with an isolated extract standardized to Eurycomanone—the naturally occurring phytoandrogenic compound found in Tongkat Ali.*

This unique formulation honors the holistic, adaptogenic, and tonic properties celebrated in its traditional uses, while embracing the targeted phytoandrogenic effects revealed through modern Western research and scientific validation of Tongkat Ali.*

Spanning both tradition and scientific inquiry once again, we add a touch of Piperine into the Tahna Prana formula. Active in very small amounts, Piperine—an isolated extract of Black Pepper Fruit ( Piper nigrum)—has its origins in Ayurvedic traditions, where it has long been used to enhance the efficacy of herbal formulations.* Today, Piperine is recognized for its ability to significantly improve the absorption (bioavailability) of the compounds it is combined with—sometimes increasing uptake manyfold.*

So, while Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Powder may not follow the classical Jūn-Chén-Zuǒ-Shǐ lineage of formulation, it is far more than a simple blend. It is adaptogenic, tonic, and proandrogenic.* Crafted with care, purpose, and intention—Tahna Prana is herbal alchemy at its finest.

Primary Ingredients

Tongkat Ali Root Extract (200:1 Concentrated Full-Spectrum Extract) – 48.82% of Formula

Description – For centuries, Tongkat Ali has been prepared as a whole root—not an isolate—carefully decocted and extracted to concentrate its full spectrum of beneficial properties. Our 200:1 full-spectrum Tongkat Ali Extract honors this time-tested tradition, capturing the Tongkat Ali’s full matrix of bioactive compounds, including a rich array concentration of quassinoids. This comprehensive, full spectrum extract is in alignment with the traditional uses of Tongkat Ali as an adaptogenic and tonic herb.*

Ethnobotanical Tradition – Tongkat Ali has been valued for centuries in Southeast Asian herbalism for its ability to support vitality, stamina, and overall well-being—long before the colonial expansion of the West into the region. Known as Pasak Bumi in Indonesia and تونكاة علي in Malay, Tongkat Ali has traditionally been prepared as a tonic to promote strength, energy, and sexual health*. The traditional uses of Tongkat Ali is deeply embedded in the region’s cultural practices—and continues to be validated by modern research.*

Sourcing – Sustainably wildcrafted from mature, authentic Eurycoma longifolia Jack, harvested from the biodiverse forests of Southeast Asia.*

Parts Used – Root (bark of the root).

Role in Formula – As a core component of the Tahna Prana formula, the 200:1 full-spectrum Tongkat Ali extract delivers a complete matrix of the root’s bioactive compounds, including its quassinoids. This comprehensive extract preserves Tongkat Ali’s traditional adaptogenic and tonic properties, supporting vitality, stamina, and overall well-being as recognized in Southeast Asian herbalism.*

Tongkat Ali Root Extract (Standardized to 2% Eurycomanone) – 48.82% of Formula

Description – While traditional Tongkat Ali preparations focus on the whole root, modern research has identified Eurycomanone—a naturally occurring quassinoid—as a key bioactive compound responsible for many of Tongkat Ali’s proandrogenic properties.

Our standardized Eurycomanone extract isolates and concentrates this specific phytochemical to deliver a targeted, high-potency extract that aligns with the contemporary scientific understanding of the herb.* This precise concentration of Eurycomanone is designed to support healthy testosterone levels, energy metabolism, and physical performance, offering a focused approach to Tongkat Ali’s adaptogenic and androgen-supporting potential.*

Ethnobotanical Tradition –Eurycomanone isolate is a product of modern extraction methods—and as such, use of the isolate is not found in ethnobotanical traditions. The inclusion of Eurycomanone in this formula reflects the intersection of ethnobotanical tradition with contemporary scientific understanding.

Sourcing – See Above.

Parts Used – Root (bark of the root).

Role in Formula – As the second cornerstone of the formula, the standardized Eurycomanone extract provides targeted proandrogenic support, complementing the broad-spectrum benefits of the 200:1 extract. Together, the two extracts form a balanced and synergistic approach—honoring the wisdom of tradition while incorporating modern scientific precision.*

Taste Profile

When using our extract powders, creativity is truly the only limiting factor in how they can be used. Tongkat Ali has a naturally bitter taste, which some may find strong, though many appreciate it.
