Dangerous Tongkat Ali
Tongkat ali is in high demand. It is therefore no surprise that there are always new players who want to get into the market.
However, Tongkat Ali is also rare and one of the most expensive herbal medicines. So, it is also no surprise that unscrupulous vendors try to cut corners. For example, they may enhance the strength that is lacking in their low-quality Tongkat Ali by secretly adding pharmaceuticals like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or unlisted synthetic steroids.
An increasing number of products have been removed from the market because they cheat and endanger the consumer. For some examples, see the links below.

The best advice that I can give is to buy established brands of Tongkat Ali and Tongkat Ali extract, preferably products that are properly licensed and tested by health authorities. Such products may be more expensive, but that is still a better deal than gambling with one’s health.
