I’ve just started taking this and I do enjoy its anxiolytic and anti stress effects. It’s very powerful! Better than any adaptogens I’ve tried like ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea. It just shuts my mind off and lets me focus on getting the job done instead of worrying about everything. I just wanna make sure I do not consume an abundance of heavy metals when taking this product. Also, any experiences with this??? I appreciate you stopping by!

That's their contract manufacturer's COA. It literally means nothing. Also, anyone that works in a lab can tell you the numbers are bullshit because they are perfect. If you want 500mg in a capsule, your assay measurement for how much you measure in the capsule will never be exactly 500mg. It will always be something slightly different. Also, you can see why theirs is perfect. They didn't measure those numbers. Their method is "input." LOL... That means they are claiming they put 500mg in the capsules, and they prove that by saying "Yep, that's how much we put!" Suuuuure. That's meaningless. It's fucking insane they are calling that an assay. They didn't assay shit. There is also no indication that they tested the raw material before using it, either.
I personally bought Double Wood's tongkat ali to test, along with tons of others out there. You can't feel shit with Double Wood's compared to a real quality extract. I'll be analyzing the eurycomanone content in the lab, but I am thinking it will be very low. I can ICP-MS for heavy metals, too. The fact that they only say "complies with spec" instead of giving an actual number makes me suspicious. Nobody is properly testing this shit. It's just so crazy to me. LOL, "input" assay...
