The Malaysian native Black Ginseng

The Malaysian native black ginseng, Black Tongkat Ali, also known as the “Black King Kong of the Wild Mountains”, or “Wild Ginseng” by the Malay aborigines, is commonly used as a natural aphrodisiac herbal medicine by these Malay indigenous people! Clinically, it functions as a sperm quality optimizer.

Q&A
What is the difference between black and yellow Tongkat Ali?
Comparing the Black Tongkat Ali with the Yellow one, Black Tongkat Ali is less in terms of volume, but its effectiveness far exceeds that of the Yellow Tongkat Ali. The smell of Black Tongkat Ali has a relatively heavier fishy smell, and if we scrap it a little and put it into our mouths and chew, we can find that the taste is relatively lighter, and there is no bitter taste of the Yellow Tongkat Ali. The Yellow Tongkat Ali has the taste of ginseng, which can be quite bitter.
