Dosage information, chipped roots

Tongkat ali can be consumed as extract, or one can prepare one's own tongkat ali tea (which basically is a fresh extract from which the water has not been removed). Some people also argue that the less processed a natural substance, the better its efficacy, and thus prefer chipped root or root powder.

However, unlike tongkat ali extract, tongkat ali chipped root and root powder are not sterile. Thus, the raw consumption of root powder is not recommended. The traditional preparation in Indonesia and Malaysia is to boil chipped roots as a tea. A standard dosage would be 50 gram of chipped root per person per day.

For an alcoholic extract of chipped root or root powder, no prior sterilization would be needed. A small amount of roots would just be inserted in a container of alcohol. Best suited would be a low-price, high percentage vodka.
