Greetings,

The Malaysian Herbal Monograph (MHM) Committee is currently developing a new pharmacopoeia document titled "Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali) Root (Draft for soliciting opinions)". This document serve as the definitive reference for the quality control, regulatory compliance, and registration of natural products both in Malaysia and for international trade.

Our goal is to ensure that local herbal standards are scientifically rigorous, commercially feasible, and harmonized with international quality requirements.

Therefore, you are cordially invited to participate in the review of the pharmacopoeial document which is accessible at the Unified Public Consultation (UPC) Portal as per the steps and the link described below:
