Tongkat Ali Dosage: What 25 mg of 100:1 Extract Means
Tongkat ali dosage is typically 100 to 400 mg a day in traditional use, per LiverTox (LiverTox, Tongkat Ali). A 100:1 extract means 100 parts root went into 1 part extract. HoneyBoost prints 25 mg of that extract per gummy, which is 4 to 16 times below the traditional range.

Usual range
What is the usual tongkat ali dosage in mg?
The traditional dose is typically 100 to 400 mg a day. LiverTox gives that range, and notes that products often hold 1,000 to 1,600 mg per capsule (LiverTox, Tongkat Ali).
No official dose has been set. Capsule sizes are all over the map because purity and strength are not standardized. A trial used 200 mg a day of a standardized water-soluble extract for one month (Tambi 2012, Tongkat Ali 200 mg and late-onset hypogonadism). That sits in the middle of the traditional range.
Compare milligrams of extract, the extract ratio and the serving size.
- Traditional range: 100 to 400 mg a day.
- One-month study dose: 200 mg a day.
- Many capsules: 1,000 to 1,600 mg each.
Extract ratio
What does a 100:1 tongkat ali extract mean?
A 100:1 extract means about 100 parts of root were used to make 1 part of extract. So 25 mg of extract stands for 2,500 mg of root.
That root number is the starting material, not what you swallow. The gummy holds 25 mg. The ratio tells you the extract is concentrated, but it does not say how much of the active compounds the extract contains.
See the longer walk-through on our extract ratios page. The reader below shows milligrams of extract next to the root they stand for.

Bars show the milligrams printed for one gummy. Mucuna is 10 mg of extract; 9.8 mg of it is L-DOPA.
Bars show the plant each extract was made from, on a log scale (each step is ten times more). The root is not in the gummy; the extract is. Mucuna shows its 9.8 mg of L-DOPA.

The math
How does 25 mg compare with the traditional dose?
It is 4 times below the low end and 16 times below the top. Divide 100 mg by 25 mg for 4, and 400 mg by 25 mg for 16. Against the 200 mg study, it is 8 times lower.
| Reference | Amount a day | Times above 25 mg |
|---|---|---|
| HoneyBoost, 1 gummy | 25 mg extract | 1 |
| Traditional low end | 100 mg | 4 |
| One-month study | 200 mg | 8 |
| Traditional high end | 400 mg | 16 |

Is a higher tongkat ali dose better?
We found no source that says so. LiverTox says long-term safety is not well documented and rates it a possible rare cause of liver injury (LiverTox, Tongkat Ali). More is not a safer plan.
Ask a doctor first if you take blood pressure, diabetes or hormone medicine, or have liver disease. The HoneyBoost label says not to take it if pregnant, lactating, with a medical condition or with other medications. Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed.

FAQ
HoneyBoost questions people ask
How much tongkat ali should I take a day?
No official dose exists. LiverTox gives a traditional range of 100 to 400 mg a day. Ask your doctor, since strength varies by product and we found no source on safe higher amounts.
Is 200 mg of tongkat ali a lot?
It sits mid-range in the traditional 100 to 400 mg span. A one-month open study used 200 mg a day. It is 8 times the 25 mg of extract on the HoneyBoost label.
What does 100:1 mean on a label?
It means about 100 parts of raw root went into 1 part of extract. A 25 mg serving at 100:1 stands for 2,500 mg of root, though the serving holds only 25 mg.
