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…

Okay, thank you! I will consider Nootropics Depot in the future.
Do you have any experience with the quality of World ABS products? I was wondering if they are reliable or not.

I have never used anything from them. They do call it a 200:1 extract, which is a bullshit extraction ratio, though. So I would bet it is not very good. I will buy some to test. Every single 200:1 product we have bought from other vendors has failed our testing. So I would bet money this one will, too.
