AKARALI, a Malaysia-based global leader in Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) natural supplements, is pleased to announce its official entrance into the Canadian market with the registration of its flagship, signature 200mg standardised hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract capsules (EURY-PREP 200). The product has been granted a Natural Product Number (NPN 80142321) by Health Canada, signifying compliance with the Canada’s strict standards for safety, efficacy, and quality.

The approval positions AKARALI among a select group of Tongkat Ali brands authorised for sale in Canada. Approval for Health Canada’s Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) requires rigorous scientific evidence before granting NPN status, ensuring Canadian consumers can trust that AKARALI meets the highest global standards in natural health products.

Science-Backed, Clinically Validated

AKARALI’s standardised hot-water extract is single-sourced from wild-harvested Tongkat Ali roots in the Malaysian rainforest and supported by over 27 published human clinical trials. The 200mg dose-optimised capsule format is designed to reflect the dosages most consistently shown in extensive clinical research, delivering measurable benefits in testosterone support, energy, stress reduction, general vitality, exercise performance, and overall hormonal balance.

This positions AKARALI uniquely in the Canadian market, where demand for evidence-based, plant-derived supplements continues to grow.

A Milestone in Global Expansion

The NPN approval by Health Canada marks a significant milestone in AKARALI’s global expansion strategy, extending its presence beyond Asia, the United States (US), Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and the European Union (EU), into Canada - one of the world’s most regulated and trusted health supplement markets. Shahid Shayaa, the CEO and Founder of AKARALI noted:

“Health Canada’s approval is not only a significant regulatory achievement, but also a validation of our commitment to science, sustainability, and consumer trust. Canadian consumers are increasingly discerning in their choice of natural health products. With a NPN firmly in place, we can now deliver premium Tongkat Ali supplements on a local level that are authentic, safe, and backed by clinical research.”

Meeting Canada’s Rising Demand for Natural Wellness Solutions

The Canadian natural health products industry is valued at over CAD $13.2 billion and continues to grow year-by-year as consumers seek alternatives that are plant-based, functional, and scientifically proven. Within this landscape, Tongkat Ali (also known colloquially as Malaysian Ginseng) has emerged as one of the most well-researched natural health supplements, recognised for its role in promoting hormonal balance, stress management, athletic performance, as well as physical and mental vitality.

By offering a clinically validated, sustainably sourced extract with full regulatory approval, AKARALI is positioned to meet the growing demand for trusted, premium-quality natural products in Canada.

Sustainability and Authenticity at the Core

AKARALI’s supply chain emphasises environmental responsibility and product authenticity. The company sources Tongkat Ali roots through wild-harvesting practices partnered with indigenous communities in Malaysia, sourcing exclusively from the rainforests of Pahang with strict replanting initiatives, ensuring long-term biodiversity protection and sustainability. The organically-sourced raw ingredients undergo a proprietary, standardized hot-water extraction method that preserves essential bioactive compounds while guaranteeing consistency, safety, and potency.

AKARALI also maintains full traceability, giving consumers confidence in the authenticity of every capsule.

Looking Ahead

As NPN approval has been secured, AKARALI will focus on expanding distribution across Canada, with availability through local partnerships with health and wellness distributors as well as select online platforms. The company will also continue to invest in education, awareness, as well as regular on-ground performance testing, highlighting the science and real-world benefits behind clinically tested standardised hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract and its role in supporting both men’s and women’s health. According to AKARALI’s Global Community Partnership Lead, Alex Kua:

“Our mission has always been to deliver authentic, clinically tested Tongkat Ali to a global audience. While Canada represents a market we have already have served for many years, NPN approval from Health Canada gives us a wider opportunity to empower individuals locally in Canada with natural solutions that are trusted, transparent, and effective.”

With 1 capsule sold every 30 seconds and 57% increase daily sales in Q3 2025, AKARALI plans to increase production capacity to meet demand for Canadian consumers who prefer buying clinically-tested Tongkat Ali supplements.
