                                Although popular as a supplement in India, the herb known as longjack (*Eurycoma longifolia*) is not indigenous to the subcontinent but originates from Southeast Asia. This fact explains why there is no single, traditional Indian name for longjack, and it is most commonly referred to by its international names, Tongkat Ali or Longjack.
