Tongkat Ali Extracts | Everything You Need To Know Before You Buy
Eurycoma longifolia, more commonly known as Tongkat Ali or Longjack, is an evergreen plant native to Southeast Asia. Eurycoma longifolia forms a large root system underground which produces a plethora of potent bioactive compounds! The main class of compounds produced by Eurycoma longifolia root are the Quassinoids. Within this class, the most bioactive Quassinoid is a compound called Eurycomanone, and the bulk of Tongkat Ali benefits discussed in scientific research are attributed to the bioactivity of this compound. This is why it is important to look for Eurycoma longifolia extracts that are high in Eurycomanone!

Hah, I appreciate that :)
But in all honesty, I think there's a middle ground to be found between highly scientific literature and sensationalistic reporting. ND is in a good position to find it. But the many exclamation points signal sensationalism to my ears.
Regardless, thanks for the very good article.

No, I get what you are saying. It was actually not me typing most of those. My lead product specialist is from the Netherlands, and the bulk of the blog was written by him. I just came in at the end and added more stuff to it. The exclamation mark issue is actually a real thing in international business. I noticed it in my consulting days. US-based writers tend to try and keep things more professional and level when writing, whereas many other cultures use exclamation points more often. Germany and the Netherlands are very known for that. You will often find more exclamation points in emails from German and Dutch colleagues. It's pretty interesting, actually. Cultural differences in writing styles is a cool topic to look into.
I did go in and edit all the EU spellings, like colour, whilst, analyse, programme, etc. I just didn't really edit the punctuation. I will speak to my team about standardizing a punctuation scheme. Perhaps we should institute a 1 exclamation point per paragraph policy! LOL
