We earn a commission if you buy through our links. It never changes a score or a pick. How we make money
Ask your doctor first if you take any medicine (one small study found it cut the absorption of propranolol), or have liver, kidney or heart disease or a hormone-sensitive condition. Skip it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding: it has not been studied. Stop and see a doctor for yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or a racing heartbeat. This page is not medical advice. More to check before you buy.

What a trial day means
No one has set a dose of tongkat ali. Trials used 50 to 600 mg a day, and most gave 200 mg of one standardized extract. We count 100 to 400 mg as the trial dose, where most trials sat. To compare prices fairly, we price the fewest whole servings that reach that amount. That is 1 capsule of Nootropics Depot 2% (200 mg of extract) and 2 capsules each of Double Wood LJ100 (200 mg) and Momentous (400 mg of root powder, its label serving). It is a way to compare cost. It is not a dose for you to follow.
Double Wood LJ100’s label serving is 1 capsule, which is 100 mg and $0.33 a day. That is half of what most trials used, so we price 2 capsules.
The cheapest is also our pick, but check what it holds
Nootropics Depot 2% is the lowest at $0.29 a trial day. Its label gives 4 mg of eurycomanone (2% of 200 mg), and the brand’s lot report measured 4.64 mg. That is inside the 0.8 to 6.0 mg a day that 100 to 400 mg of the trial extract holds. It is not the extract most trials used, and it is on no public testing list. Full reasons.
Nootropics Depot 10% costs $0.58 a trial day, 2 times as much, and one capsule holds 10.28 mg of eurycomanone by its lot report. That is above the 6.0 mg that the top trial amount holds. We found no trial of it. A bigger number is not a better one, so we do not rank it higher.
Momentous costs $0.67 a trial day. It is ground root, not an extract, and it is the only one of the five we checked on a public testing list (Informed Sport, which screens for drugs banned in sport; list checked September 22, 2026). Consider it if you compete in a drug-tested sport. Informed Sport lowers the risk, it does not remove it. Double Wood LJ100 costs $0.67 at 2 capsules and names LJ100 on its label (same company family as the trial extract).
Amazon sets its own prices, and we quote none here. If Amazon’s price is lower than the list price, your day costs less too. To compare, divide the Amazon price by the number of capsules in the bottle, then multiply by the capsules in a trial day.
You may not need it. The trials are small and short, and most were paid for by, or co-written by staff of, the company that makes the extract. Across trials, men with normal testosterone saw no clear change (Leisegang 2022). Tongkat ali acts on hormones: ask your doctor first if you take medicine or have a health condition.
