Quick answer: The best tongkat ali supplement in Australia for most buyers is Eternal Elixir Tongkat Ali 200:1 Extract. Each three-capsule serving carries 2,000mg of 200:1 root extract, which is more extract per daily serving than any other product here that states an amount. A 90-capsule bottle costs $39.99 and holds 30 servings, so a serving costs $1.33. Orders ship from Sydney within 24 hours. If the lowest cost per serving is all you want, Evolution Botanicals’ 500mg capsules work out at $0.58. If you want a named extract with its own published trials, look at AKARALI, which says it uses the patented Physta process.
Eternal Elixir makes Tongkat Ali 200:1 Extract. It is our pick, and every figure for the other seven products comes from their own product pages or from the Australian retailer listing we link, checked in September 2026. We have not lab-tested any of them. If you are new to the herb itself, our guide to tongkat ali in Australia explains what it is, how it is extracted and who tends to take it. This page is for buyers who have decided to try tongkat ali and now need to choose a product.

Best tongkat ali supplements in Australia 2026: the comparison table
All prices are in AUD, as of Sep 2026. The cost per serve column divides the price by the number of servings the label directs, not by the number of capsules. Where a label gives a range, we show both ends. Where a listing gives no serving size, the cell says so rather than guessing.
| # | Product | Extract per serve (label) | Eurycomanone stated | Price (AUD, as of Sep 2026) | Capsules per bottle | Label serve | Cost per serve | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eternal Elixir Tongkat Ali 200:1 Extract (our pick) | 2,000mg of 200:1 root extract | Not stated | $39.99 | 90 | 3 capsules | $1.33 | View at Eternal Elixir |
| 2 | AKARALI Premium Tongkat Ali | 200mg per capsule, 200:1 hot-water extract | Not stated on the product page | $89.00 | 60 | 1 or 2 capsules | $1.48 (1 capsule) or $2.97 (2 capsules) | AKARALI |
| 3 | Evolution Botanicals Tongkat Ali Capsules | 500mg of 25:1 root extract | 1% | $69.95 | 120 | 1 capsule | $0.58 (lowest here) | Evolution Botanicals |

The per-capsule trap: why many tongkat ali price comparisons mislead
Most price comparisons for tongkat ali in Australia divide the bottle price by the capsule count and call the result a price per day. That only works when the label serving is one capsule. For several products in this list it is not.
Take our own bottle. The label directs three capsules a day for the 2,000mg serving, so 90 capsules make 30 servings. At $39.99 the real figure is $1.33 a serving. Divide by the capsule count instead and you get $0.44, which would make it look like the cheapest product on the page. It is not. Evolution Botanicals is cheaper per serving at $0.58, because one of its capsules is one serving.
The trap runs the other way too. AKARALI’s label allows one or two capsules a day, so its daily cost is $1.48 at the lower dose and $2.97 at the higher one. Switch Nutrition’s serve is two capsules, which puts it at $2.33 a serving even though its bottle price matches Evolution Botanicals’.
The second trap is comparing milligrams that are not the same thing. Solaray’s 400mg capsule is ground root. The other seven products are extracts, where a large amount of root is concentrated into a much smaller amount of powder. A milligram of root and a milligram of 200:1 extract cannot be compared directly.
For the four products that describe themselves as 200:1 extracts and state an amount, the fairest money comparison is price per gram of extract:
- Eternal Elixir: 30 servings of 2,000mg is 60 g of extract for $39.99, about $0.67 a gram.
- Emrald Labs: 60 capsules of 500mg is 30 g for $69.90, about $2.33 a gram.
- Anabolix Nutrition: 30 listed serves of 400mg is 12 g for $54.95, about $4.58 a gram.
- AKARALI: 60 capsules of 200mg is 12 g for $89.00, about $7.42 a gram.
One caution. An extract ratio is the maker’s own description of how much root went in. Nobody outside the factory can check it from the label, and two brands’ “200:1” may not contain the same amount of the compounds researchers measure. That is why a stated eurycomanone percentage is worth having, and why we show it in the table. We explain how to read these numbers on any bottle in our guide to reading an Australian supplement label for fillers and fake dosages.
How we ranked these tongkat ali supplements
Eternal Elixir makes the product at #1, so read this section before you trust the order. We put our own capsules first for three label facts: the largest stated amount of extract per daily serving in the list, the lowest price per gram among the 200:1 extracts, and dispatch from Sydney within 24 hours. The table shows where other products beat it, and we have kept those labels on them.
We ordered the other seven on four questions:
- What does the label tell you? An extract ratio, an amount per serving in milligrams and a eurycomanone percentage each count. A product that states none of them sits lower.
- Is there published human research on this named extract? Research on “tongkat ali” in general does not transfer to every product, because extraction changes what ends up in the capsule.
- What does a label serving cost in AUD? Worked out as described above.
- Can you buy it from an Australian seller? Every product here is sold by an Australian store, which keeps delivery times short.
We did not test competitor products in a lab and we do not hold their certificates of analysis. Every competitor figure is exactly what their page says, and where a page contradicts itself we say so.
1. Eternal Elixir Tongkat Ali 200:1 Extract: our pick
Label facts: 200:1 Eurycoma longifolia root extract, 2,000mg per serving of three capsules, 90 capsules per bottle, 30 servings, $39.99 a bottle. The suggested use is three capsules daily on an empty stomach.
This is the product we make, and it sits at #1 for reasons you can check on the Tongkat Ali 200:1 product page. No other product in this comparison states more extract per daily serving. Emrald Labs and Evolution Botanicals state 500mg, Anabolix states 400mg per listed serve and AKARALI’s capsules are 200mg each. Among the 200:1 extracts, ours also costs the least per gram at about $0.67. One bottle lasts a month at the label dose.
There are two limits you should know about. We do not publish a eurycomanone percentage. If a stated marker compound is your first test, Anabolix and Eumundi Botanicals (2%) or Evolution Botanicals and Switch Nutrition (1%) tell you more. The second limit is about dose. The trials described below gave people 200mg to 600mg a day of their own extracts. Nobody has run a controlled trial of a 2,000mg serving of a 200:1 extract, so what you are buying is more extract per dollar. Whether more extract brings a bigger effect has not been tested.
Who it suits: buyers who want a large, pre-measured daily serving from an Australian seller, a bottle that lasts a month, and a 30-day money-back guarantee if it is not for them.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone who wants one capsule a day, anyone who will only buy a product with a stated eurycomanone figure, and anyone chasing the lowest cost per serving, where Evolution Botanicals is cheaper.
Buying more than one bottle: two bottles save 10% ($71.98), three save 15% ($101.97, which also clears the $100 free-shipping line) and five save 20%. Afterpay is available at checkout.
Pros:
- 2,000mg of 200:1 extract per serving, the most stated in this list
- Lowest price per gram among the 200:1 extracts, about $0.67
- 90 capsules, a full month at the label dose
- Ships from Sydney within 24 hours, with a 30-day money-back guarantee
Cons:
- No eurycomanone percentage published
- Three capsules a day, which some people find a chore
- $1.33 a serving is more than Evolution Botanicals ($0.58) or Emrald Labs ($1.17)
2. AKARALI Premium Tongkat Ali: a named extract with published trials
Label facts: 200mg capsules, 60 per bottle, described as a 200:1 hot-water extract made with the patented Physta process. The directions say one to two capsules daily with water, preferably after meals. AKARALI’s Australian store listed it at $89.00 in September 2026, against a $115.00 compare-at price.
AKARALI’s case rests on research rather than dose. Physta is the extract used in several placebo-controlled human trials of tongkat ali. In one, 63 moderately stressed adults took 200mg a day for four weeks. In another, 109 men took 300mg a day for 12 weeks. A third gave 200mg a day to middle-aged Japanese adults and measured immune markers (details in the research section below). Most generic tongkat ali products borrow findings from trials that tested a different extract. AKARALI can point to trials of the extract it says it uses.
Two caveats apply. The Physta trials were funded by the extract’s maker or included its staff as authors, which does not make them wrong but is worth weighing. We also cannot confirm from outside that every capsule matches the trial material. We are relying on the brand’s statement, as you would be.
Who it suits: buyers who want the named extract that appears in published trials and will pay more for it.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone on a budget. It has the highest bottle price here, $2.97 a day at two capsules is the highest daily cost in the table, and its price per gram of extract is about eleven times ours.
Pros: the extract named in several placebo-controlled human trials, one-capsule option, hot-water extraction stated. Cons: highest bottle price and highest two-capsule daily cost here, eurycomanone percentage not shown on the product page, 60 capsules last one to two months depending on the dose.
3. Evolution Botanicals Tongkat Ali Capsules: lowest cost per serving
Label facts: each capsule holds 500mg of 25:1 root extract standardised to 1% eurycomanone, and one capsule is one serving. A tube holds 120 capsules and costs $69.95 on Evolution Botanicals’ own store. The brand says the root is wild-grown in southern Malaysia and extracted with hot water and ethanol.
At $0.58 a serving this is the cheapest way to take a standardised tongkat ali extract in this comparison, and the 1% eurycomanone figure gives you a marker to check against. A 25:1 ratio is far less concentrated than a 200:1 extract, so the milligrams are not directly comparable with ours or Emrald Labs’. If you prefer powder, the same brand’s 50 g pouch is $62.95 at Nutrition Warehouse, with a 0.5 g serving that works out at about $0.63. Its own directions warn that the powder tastes bitter.
Who it suits: price-focused buyers who want a stated standardisation and a tube that lasts four months.
Who it doesn’t suit: buyers who want a concentrated 200:1 extract or more than 500mg of extract a day.
Pros: lowest cost per serving here, 1% eurycomanone stated, sourcing and extraction method described, 120 servings per tube. Cons: 25:1 extract rather than 200:1, 500mg per serving, and the price per gram of extract is higher than ours.
4. Emrald Labs Tongkat Ali: a one-capsule 200:1 extract
Label facts: 500mg of 200:1 tongkat ali extract per capsule, one capsule as the serving, taken in the morning, 60 capsules per bottle. Elite Supps sells it for $69.90. The capsule shell is gelatin, and the listing says it is made in a facility that also handles milk and soy.
Emrald Labs is the simplest 200:1 option if you want one capsule a day. At $1.17 a serving it is cheaper per serve than ours, but you get a quarter of the extract per serve, so its price per gram of 200:1 extract is about $2.33 against our $0.67. The label does not state a eurycomanone figure.
Who it suits: buyers who want a single morning capsule of a 200:1 extract from a big Australian sports retailer.
Who it doesn’t suit: vegetarians and vegans (gelatin shell), people avoiding milk or soy traces, and anyone who wants a stated standardisation.
Pros: one capsule a day, clear 500mg label amount, sold by a large Australian online retailer. Cons: gelatin capsule, no eurycomanone figure, 60 servings of a smaller amount.
5. Anabolix Nutrition Tongkat Ali: 2% eurycomanone stated
Label facts: the Nutrition Warehouse listing shows 400mg of 200:1 tongkat ali standardised to 2% eurycomanone per serve, in a 60-capsule bottle sold as 30 serves for $54.95. The capsule is vegan (HPMC), with rice flour, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate as processing aids.
The 2% eurycomanone figure is the highest standardisation stated alongside a milligram amount in this list. The listing contradicts itself on serve size, though. The bottle is sold as “60 Capsules | 30 Serves”, but the directions say to take “one to two serves (1–2 capsules)” daily and no more than two capsules in 24 hours. We have used the 30-serve figure, which gives $1.83 a serve. If one capsule is really one serve, each serve would hold less extract than the panel suggests. Check the physical label before you settle on a dose.
Who it suits: buyers who want a stated 2% eurycomanone figure and already shop at Nutrition Warehouse.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone who wants a clear, consistent serving size on the listing.
Pros: 2% eurycomanone and a milligram amount stated together, vegan capsule. Cons: contradictory serve wording, $1.83 a listed serve, about $4.58 per gram of extract.
6. Switch Nutrition Tongkat Ali: 1% eurycomanone, two-capsule serve
Label facts: two capsules make one serve, taken in the morning with food, and the label says to take no more than one serve a day. Australian Sports Nutrition sells the 60-capsule bottle for $69.95, which makes 30 serves at $2.33 each. Another Australian stockist, Wicked NRG, describes it as a 100:1 extract standardised to 1% eurycomanone, in a vegetable cellulose capsule with microcrystalline cellulose as an anticaking agent.
Switch Nutrition is easy to find in Australian sports stores, and the 1% eurycomanone figure is useful. We could not find the amount of extract per serve on the listings we checked, which makes it hard to compare with anything else here. At $2.33 a serve it is also one of the dearer options.
Who it suits: people who already buy Switch Nutrition products and want a vegan capsule with a stated standardisation.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone comparing on milligrams per serve or on cost.
Pros: 1% eurycomanone stated, vegan capsule, sold by several Australian stores. Cons: no milligram amount on the listings we checked, two capsules a serve, $2.33 a serve.
7. Eumundi Botanicals Tongkat Ali 2% Eurycomanone: a stated marker, no stated amount
Label facts: Wallaby Wellness lists a single-ingredient tongkat ali extract standardised to 2% eurycomanone, 60 vegan capsules per bottle, for $59.95. The listing tells you to follow the suggested use on the product label but does not state the milligrams per capsule or the serving size.
A 2% standardisation is a good sign, and the formula has no added fillers on the label according to the retailer. Without a milligram figure or a serving size, though, we can only give a cost per capsule, which is $1.00. That keeps it below the products that tell you more.
Who it suits: buyers who put a stated eurycomanone percentage first and can read the dose off the bottle once it arrives.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone who wants to compare amount and cost per serve before buying.
Pros: 2% eurycomanone stated, single ingredient, vegan capsule. Cons: no milligram amount or serving size on the listing, so the real daily cost is unknown before purchase.
8. Solaray Tongkat Ali 400mg: root powder at the lowest bottle price
Label facts: each VegCap holds 400mg of tongkat ali root, taken as one capsule twice daily for 800mg a day. A bottle of 60 lasts 30 days and costs $35.95 at Wallaby Wellness, or $1.20 a day. The other ingredients are cellulose, magnesium stearate, rice bran extract and silica.
Solaray is the cheapest bottle in this comparison, and the retailer is upfront that it is ground root rather than a concentrated extract. That is the whole point of difference. The trials below used extracts, so a root powder cannot be judged against them milligram for milligram.
Who it suits: buyers who want the least expensive bottle and prefer whole root over an extract.
Who it doesn’t suit: anyone who wants an extract, a stated standardisation or a once-a-day capsule.
Pros: lowest bottle price here, long-established brand, vegan capsule. Cons: root powder rather than an extract, no eurycomanone figure, two doses a day.
What the human research on tongkat ali shows, and what it does not
The research on Eurycoma longifolia is small, and most trials were run by or with extract makers. Below are the human studies most worth knowing before you buy, with who took part, how much they took and for how long. We have left out animal and test-tube work, because results in rats do not tell you what happens in people.
The pooled evidence on testosterone. A 2022 systematic review screened the literature, included nine studies and pooled five randomised controlled trials. Men taking Eurycoma longifolia had higher total testosterone than controls (standardised mean difference 1.35, p = 0.001), and the effect held in the subgroup of men who started with low levels. The authors called for more research before firm conclusions (Leisegang et al., Medicina, 2022).
Six months in middle-aged men. Leitão and colleagues randomised 45 men, average age 47, into four groups that combined training or no training with extract or placebo. 22 men took 200mg of Eurycoma longifolia daily for six months, and the training was three 60-minute sessions a week. The clearest gains on a sexual function questionnaire, an ageing-male symptom scale and total testosterone came in the group that trained and took the extract (Maturitas, 2021).
Two weeks in young men. Chan and colleagues gave 32 healthy men, average age 24, either 600mg a day or placebo for two weeks. Total testosterone (p = .005) and free testosterone (p = .012) rose in the extract group compared with placebo. Oestradiol rose too (p = .008), while luteinising hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin did not change (Andrologia, 2021).
Four weeks in stressed adults. Talbott and colleagues screened adults for moderate stress and gave them 200mg a day of Physta or a placebo for four weeks. 63 people were analysed (32 men and 31 women). Compared with placebo, the extract group had 16% lower salivary cortisol exposure, 37% higher salivary testosterone status, and lower scores for tension (11%), anger (12%) and confusion (15%) on a mood questionnaire. The extract’s maker funded the study (J Int Soc Sports Nutr, 2013).
Twelve weeks in men aged 30 to 55. In a placebo-controlled trial of 109 men, 300mg a day of Physta for 12 weeks improved the physical functioning score of a quality-of-life survey and scores on sexual well-being questionnaires compared with placebo. Safety measures were similar in both groups (Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2012).
Four weeks and immune markers. A Japanese trial gave 200mg a day of Physta or rice powder to middle-aged adults with lower immune-vigour scores for four weeks. Of the 83 who completed it, the extract group had higher immune-vigour scores and higher counts of total, naïve and CD4+ T cells than the placebo group. Several authors worked for the extract’s maker (Phytother Res, 2016).
Five weeks in active seniors. A pilot study gave 400mg a day to 13 men and 12 women aged 57 to 72 who were physically active. Total and free testosterone and handgrip strength rose in both sexes over five weeks. A pilot of 25 people is a starting point rather than a result to plan around (Phytother Res, 2014).
What has not been shown. No trial has followed people for longer than six months, so long-term effects are unknown. No trial has tested a 2,000mg serving of a 200:1 extract, ours included. No trial has compared the brands in this list head to head. Most participants were men, and the trials tested specific extracts, so a result for one product does not automatically apply to another. Read the research as a reason to try a standardised extract at a sensible label dose and to judge it over several weeks. It does not promise any one person a result. For more on what each study measured, see our breakdown of tongkat ali benefits and the research behind them.
Supplements are one part of the picture. Our step-by-step protocol for men over 35 covers sleep, training and body composition, which matter at least as much. For the wider category, our comparison of testosterone-support supplements in Australia sets tongkat ali beside the other options.
Safety: who should not take tongkat ali
One controlled human study found a real medicine interaction. In a randomised crossover trial, 14 healthy young men took 80mg of propranolol, a beta-blocker, either with placebo or with 200mg of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract. With the extract, the amount of propranolol reaching the blood fell by 29%, the peak level fell by 42%, and the time to reach that peak was about 86% longer (J Clin Pharm Ther, 2010). If you take propranolol or any other prescription medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start tongkat ali. Spacing the doses apart is not a substitute for that advice.
Speak to your doctor first as well if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a hormone-sensitive medical condition, or have a liver or kidney condition. Tongkat ali is not for anyone under 18. Stop taking it and get advice if you notice restlessness, poor sleep or an upset stomach, and never take more than the label serving. Our tongkat ali side effects guide covers what has been reported in trials, and our guide to tongkat ali for women in Australia covers the limited research in women.
Building a tongkat ali stack
Many Australians take tongkat ali alongside one or two other products. Add them one at a time and give each a few weeks, so you can tell what is doing what.
Shilajit is the most common companion. It is a mineral-rich resin, so it works as a separate daily supplement rather than a stronger version of tongkat ali. Our Shilajit 1000mg capsules come as 90 capsules with a two-capsule, 1,000mg serving. Our shilajit comparison for Australia sets the local options side by side, and our tongkat ali and shilajit guide explains how the two differ.
Korean red panax ginseng is the other frequent pairing, usually taken for day-to-day energy. Our Korean Panax Ginseng 1600mg has a two-capsule serving, and our panax ginseng comparison covers the rest of the market.
Fadogia agrestis is often paired with tongkat ali in online routines, but its human evidence is much thinner. Most of the widely quoted work is in rodents, and rodent results do not tell you what happens in people. Our own Tongkat Ali + Fadogia blend is out of stock at the time of writing, which is why it is not in this list. We cover what the fadogia research does and does not show in our fadogia agrestis comparison for Australia and our guide to tongkat ali and fadogia together. For timing and cycling, see our Huberman tongkat ali protocol guide.

What does tongkat ali do for the body?
Tongkat ali is the root of Eurycoma longifolia, a shrub from South-East Asia. Small human trials suggest a standardised root extract may help support healthy testosterone levels in men, and one four-week trial reported lower salivary cortisol and better mood scores in moderately stressed adults. The trials were short and mostly in men, so read broad claims with caution.
Is tongkat ali legal in Australia?
Yes. Tongkat ali supplements are sold openly in Australia by local supplement retailers, including the stores linked in our comparison table, and they ship within the country. Buy from a seller that shows the extract ratio and the amount per serving on the label, so you know what you are taking.
What happens if I take tongkat ali every day?
Daily use at the label serving is how the human trials were run, over periods from two weeks to six months. Changes in those trials were measured over weeks, not days. Keep to the label serving, and stop and get advice if you notice restlessness, poor sleep or an upset stomach. Our guide to how long tongkat ali takes to work sets out realistic timeframes.
Who should not use tongkat ali?
Anyone taking prescription medicines should speak to their doctor or pharmacist first, particularly people on beta-blockers, given the propranolol finding above. Do not take it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or under 18, and get medical advice first if you have a hormone-sensitive, liver or kidney condition.
How much does tongkat ali cost per day in Australia?
Among the products in our table, a label serving costs from $0.58 (Evolution Botanicals) to $2.97 (AKARALI at two capsules). Eternal Elixir Tongkat Ali 200:1 is $1.33 a serving. Always divide by the number of servings on the label, not by the capsule count.
What is eurycomanone and why does it matter?
Eurycomanone is the compound researchers most often measure in tongkat ali root extracts. An extract ratio such as 200:1 only describes how much root was concentrated, so a stated eurycomanone percentage tells you something the ratio cannot. In our comparison, Anabolix Nutrition and Eumundi Botanicals state 2%, and Evolution Botanicals and Switch Nutrition state 1%.
Does tongkat ali raise testosterone?
A 2022 review that pooled five randomised trials found higher total testosterone in men taking Eurycoma longifolia than in controls, with the clearest effect in men who started with low levels. Individual trials were small and short, used different extracts and doses, and were often run with extract makers, so a result for any one person is not certain.
Where can I buy tongkat ali in Australia with fast shipping?
Eternal Elixir ships from Sydney within 24 hours, with free shipping on orders over $100. The other products in our table are sold by Australian stores such as Nutrition Warehouse, Elite Supps, Australian Sports Nutrition, Wallaby Wellness and the brands’ own Australian sites. Pharmacy chains mostly stock multi-ingredient men’s blends rather than single-herb extracts. Our guide to tongkat ali at Chemist Warehouse covers what is on the shelf.
How many capsules of tongkat ali should I take?
Follow the label, because serving sizes differ a lot between brands. Our Tongkat Ali 200:1 is three capsules for a 2,000mg serving. Emrald Labs and Evolution Botanicals use one capsule, Switch Nutrition uses two, and AKARALI allows one or two. Our tongkat ali dosage guide compares the amounts used in the trials.
Is tongkat ali or shilajit better?
They do different jobs. Tongkat ali is a root extract studied mainly for testosterone and stress markers in men, while shilajit is a mineral-rich resin taken as a general daily supplement. Many people take both, and our Shilajit 1000mg pairs with Tongkat Ali 200:1 in one order.

The verdict: the best tongkat ali supplement in Australia for 2026
Our pick: Eternal Elixir Tongkat Ali 200:1 Extract, $39.99 for 90 capsules and 30 servings of 2,000mg. It gives you the most stated extract per daily serving in this comparison and the lowest price per gram among the 200:1 extracts, sent from Sydney within 24 hours with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Its eurycomanone percentage is not published, and three capsules a day is the serving.
If lowest cost per serving decides it: Evolution Botanicals Tongkat Ali Capsules at $0.58 a serving, with 1% eurycomanone stated.
If you want a named extract with its own trials: AKARALI, which says it uses the Physta extract, at $1.48 to $2.97 a day.
If you want one capsule of a 200:1 extract: Emrald Labs at $1.17 a serving.
If a stated 2% eurycomanone figure with a milligram amount decides it: Anabolix Nutrition, once you have checked the serve size on the bottle.
Whichever you choose, give it several weeks at the label dose before you judge it, and if you take prescription medicine, start with the safety section above rather than the table.
