It was what was known colloquially as Ali’s Walking Stick—Tongkat Ali—in Malaysia that seeded what was to become a powerhouse botanical ingredients specialist for the natural products industry.  In 2001, Annie Eng founded HP Ingredients (Bradenton, FL) to provide sustainably sourced science-based herbal remedies from around the globe to market.

First up: LJ100 Tongkat Ali, a natural men’s performance enhancer, was originally introduced to North America in 2003 by HP Ingredients. LJ100 has become the world’s most studied Tongkat Ali with 43 studies, 26 of which are human clinical trials, according to the company.

During the past quarter century, Eng has built HP Ingredients on pillars of integrity, innovation and ingenuity, based on the mantra “where science never sleeps.” The company’s core belief is that human health can be elevated and extended through rigorously researched and sustainable, clean and versatile ingredients that can be featured in a variety of formulas.

LJ100 has served as the prime example of our other signature proprietary ingredients that address improvements and support of common health concerns.

According to the company, HP Ingredients collaborates with foremost experts in bio-botanical science to demonstrate safety and efficacy of potent herbal extracts. The company works with Juan Hancke, PhD to offer ParActin, ParActin QuantumActiv and NeuroActin (Andrographis paniculata), and Vincenzo Mollace, PhD for Bergamonte, CitruSlim, N.O.Max and Bergacyn (Citrus bergamia Risso).

Other signature ingredients include IQ200 (Polygonum minus), Adapticort (Eurycoma longifolia) and MaquiCare (Aristotelia chilensis).

“The successes of the past 25 years could not have been remotely possible without our team, both at our headquarters and abroad,” Eng stated. “The knowledge that our ingredients—born and nurtured through devotion and continual research—have been helping people to live their best lives is humbling. It also serves as encouragement and motivation to continue for another 25 years!”
