Comparison of Three Aphrodisiac Plants (Eurycoma longifolia, Polyalthia bullata and Stema tuberosa) Synonymous with Tongkat Ali

The indigenous people of Malaysia pioneered the use Tongkat Ali for its aphrodisiac purposes. They gave at least three plants common name Ali, including E. longifolia, P. bullata and S. tuberosa. Since longifolia is most widely used root three, it has undergone extensive research compared to Proteins found in have been proven be bioactive constituent. Parameters such as pH level, moisture content, heavy metal content microbial load were between all roots after aqueous extraction under reflux, followed by quantitative protein assay, SDS PAGE HPLC. extracts within acceptable ranges 5% 6% 3% 7% (w/w), respectively; additionally, no metals found. Microbes, which initially detected, undetectable once a decontamination step was introduced during treatment. yield tuberosa 0.014%, 0.008% 0.006% respectively, provided single band range 10 20 kDa molecular weight. HPLC Eurycomanone, quassinoid compound, but not other two Ali. In conclusion, investigated possess several physicochemical differences share same protein, likely contributing their activity.&nbsp
