PHYSTA® Tongkat Ali: Clinically Proven Energy & Vitality
Dr. Annie highlighted that Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) long celebrated by Malays as a traditional remedy for energy and recovery - is now globally recognized due to the PHYSTA® extraction technology. Backed by over 17 clinical studies, PHYSTA® has demonstrated benefits including:
Increased
testosterone in men and women
1. Reduction
in stress & cortisol.
2. Enhanced
muscle strength and endurance.
3. Improved
metabolic function and glycemic control.
4. Supports
immune health and sexual wellness.
This elevates Tongkat
Ali from folklore to functional medicine, opening pathways for global
supplementation & pharmaceutical adoption.
KESUM:
Malaysia’s Brain Herb for the Future
Also spotlighted was KESUM (Persicaria minor) the humble ulam herb
often found in laksa or grown in village backyards. Once just a flavorful
kitchen ingredient, KESUM now shines in
neuroscience.
Key
scientific revelations include:
Neuroprotection &
Neuroregeneration - KESUM supports the
brain’s repair & growth through neurogenesis & neuroplasticity.
Reduction
of Beta-Amyloid Accumulation – A critical marker in Alzheimer’s pathology.
Improved BDNF
(Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) – Daily intake increases brain
neurofunction by 2%, a metric unmatched by well - known brain supplements like
Ginkgo, Green Tea, Curcumin, Garlic, Fish Oil, or Bacopa.
The audience was
particularly impressed by Kesum’s unique mechanism—offering not just memory
enhancement but a protective buffer against cognitive decline & dementia.
Engaging Q &A & Global Scientific Appreciation
The session concluded
with an engaging Q&A segment. International attendees praised the rigorous
clinical backing of Malaysian herbs, especially the dual-action concept of PHYSTA for vitality & KESUM for cognition.
Many expressed
admiration for how Malaysia’s traditional herbs are now leading natural health
innovation, setting a benchmark for science-based herbal interventions
globally.
Scientific
Validation: The Future of Herbal Medicine
The ICNP 2023 highlighted a paradigm shift: Malaysia’s
local herbs, once seen as folklore, are now on the frontier of
neurotherapeutics & adaptogenic science. Through collaborative clinical
research, products like PHYSTA Tongkat Ali &
KESUM extract are proving that natural medicine can meet modern
scientific standards.
As global demand grows for
clean, effective, plant-based solutions, Malaysia’s scientific contributions at
ICNP 2023 signal a promising future
for natural products backed by clinical excellence. Tongkat Ali: Clinically Proven Energy & Vitality
