Tongkat Ali Heavy Metal Toxicity?

Hello,
I have just read a past reddit post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/7adybb/psawarning\_concerning\_tongkat\_ali/) about tongkat ali experience with heavy metal toxicity. I have recently ordered World ABS Tongkat Ali 1:200, and I was wondering if it would be safe to consume?
From what I have heard, they are a company located in Swiss. They did list that their product is free of heavy metals: https://cdn.worldabs.com/assets/pdfs/tongkat-ali-cofa.pdf But I am not sure if this is true or not. From the limited reviews I have heard online, they do not have any problems with mercury.
World ABS does not source from Pasak Bumi Tongkat Ali (which I believe is the one the redditor took). Apparently, several resellers have noted that Pasak Bumi's quality has decreased notably, with false claims being made about the product. Pasak Bumi also adds fake ingredients to their products.
World ABS's Tongkat Ali is directed from Indonesia, not Malaysia. I have also heard that Indonesian Tongkat Ali is more likely to contain mer…

I see. I have currently reached out to World ABS requesting the reference number for their OCFa certificate as evidence.
Would you suggest me to buy from NootropicsDepot instead? How high is the Eurycome level in the Nootropics Product?

I mean, I own Nootropics Depot. So for sure I would suggest that. LOL
We have a 2% eurycomanone and a 10% eurycomanone on our site. We tested a ton of other vendor's products, and most completely failed. We even tested a 2% product, or what was claimed to be, and it was only 0.43%. Many of the products we did not even detect eurycomanone at all. NONE. Most tongkat out there is absolute garbage.
