Eurycoma Longifolia (Malaysian Ginseng)
Eurycoma Longifolia (Malaysian Ginseng / Pasak Bumi) is a single-stemmed slow growing tree of the rainforests of Southeast Asia. It is used throughout the region as herbal medicine and tonic. The chemical ingredients have been chemically profiled; hence it is possible to chemically screen plants for genotypes of high quality. The active ingredients are concentrated in taproot. The plant takes five years or more to reach reproductive age, and usually the fruit is low, hence the rates of seed production cannot sustain the existing level of demand for this plant material. Collection of this plant in forests has become very difficult and non-economical. Commercial cultivation cannot proceed because there is no guaranteed source of high quality planting materials. Vegetative propagation techniques usually result in the production of fibrous roots. In vitro propagation technique, vis-à-vis somatic embryogenesis is an attractive alternative, as it is known to produce taproots. The use of somatic embryogenesis technology for production of E. longifolia plantlets with the emphasis in maintaining their taproot bioactive chemical profile is being investigated. It has been used as a medicinal herb for centuries in Southeast Asia to promote well-being, improve health, increase strength, and increase libido. Today it is increasingly being used as a natural, gentle and effective alternative to sex-enhancing drugs, and in Malaysia is often included in soft drinks, coffee and tea as an overall health enhancer. Our root extract 25:1 is 100% soluble for the drink business. Read the rest of the article at:
