Can someone explain Tongkat Ali dosing to me?

I watched this Youtube clip with Andrew Huberman talking about it on the Joe Rogan podacast. He said to take 400mg/day.
But everyone here talks about the dosing as 2% or 10%? How many mg are in each of those 2 options?
Below is the link to the YT clip.

I also experience nausea with 2% on an empty stomach, but it’s a great day when 2% it’s in your system after a meal. I take it once in the morning with breakfast and one at bedtime with a light snack with MicroZinc, KSM 66, and MicroMag, like most Redditers on here probably do.
The 10%, however, makes me extremely energetic but seriously anxious to the point I’m concerned I will have a stroke. I almost pushed myself to take my blood pressure, but was afraid white coat syndrome had taken over, so I rode it out and felt normal again after 14ish hours. I failed to find any documented effect on pressure, but if it exists it needs shared. I dabbled with stimulants and anabolics before, and it felt like an old combo that fell in my buttocks on accident.
10% is an experience that’s just odd. I get feelings like I should be sprinting til I collapse or trying to flip a car. The physical energy is boundless to the point I feel like I might implode if I don’t try to rip a door off the hinges. Obvious I’m exaggerating, but you really feel unhealthily unstoppable. I understand why it’s more favorable if you’re a competitive athlete - I seriously see why Huberman recommends it to pro athletes on JRE. I workout at home and work behind 3 computers, occasionally eating snacks from a gas station.
I’ll stick with 2%.

Yeah, I get more stimulated with the 10% as well. I might actually try to cycle over to your plan, and do the 2% at night instead of the 10% in the morning.
