Tongkat Ali Nausea
Original post in this thread

Tongkat just guts my stomach like no other...I'm always on the brink of throwing it up (2X2%) I love the effects but as an intermittent faster that wants to still enjoy the benefits of TA before my 1 pm meal, are there any non-fast-breaking tools that can help with this? Or maybe breaking open the capsules? Thanks all

There are many reports of nausea with 2% TKA but zero reports with the 10% (myself included, no nausea whatsoever). I wonder whether the ingredients are substantially different? Are they from the same supplier? If I may ask /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb -- is the 10% derived from 2% on prem, or are these sourced separately and just tested and packaged by ND?

They are from the exact same roots, using the same extraction partner. Obviously the 10% is going to lose some compounds that are not as soluble, to concentrate the eurycomanone more. The 2% will contain more diversity of compounds from the raw root than the 10% will. Exactly which compound or compounds are causing the nausea is a mystery, though. We can assume the compound is not very soluble in water or ethanol, based on the difference in the 2% and 10%, but that's about it.
