This really concerns me, is there any other opinion on this publication? Because I really like tongkat Ali.

The dose used is not clinically relevant. They used 2,000mg/kg in rats. That would be a 322mg/kg dose in humans. That's an average adult male taking 24 GRAMS of tongkat ali. Moreover, they mention that coumarin was found in small amounts in tongkat raw plant and ethyl acetate extracts. Coumarin is found in high amounts in cinnamon, and is cytotoxic at higher doses. We don't stop taking cinnamon altogether because it can be toxic at high doses, do we? Maybe don't go taking 24 grams of cinnamon, like it is probably not a good idea to go taking 24 grams of tongkat, either.

No dosing games?

It's a massive frustration of mine with other brands. Sellers will unnecessarily spread doses over multiple capsules to increase capsule counts, to seem like a better value. This is to trick consumers into thinking they

Replying to legosandplants · The greens looks good, but that’s almost 50% more in cost than most greens on the market.

Most greens on the market suck dick, and are dosed much lower than ours. This is 15.5 grams per dose. Go look at the shitty greens out there and see what they are dosing at. Moreover, most brands are just buying premade

Can someone explain Tongkat Ali dosing to me?

Replying to captain_obvi · It's not in the JRE podcast, but in his podcast last week with Tim Ferriss, he says he uses the Solaray 400MG Tongkat Ali Root.

Interesting. That's not even an extract. That's powdered root. We tested some of that, and I don't even think eurycomanone was detectable at the machine detection limits. LOL

I can see your perspective on it, and normally I would share it. However, I worked really hard formulating the flavors on these. My wife said she would just add in sweetener and milk, but ever since trying the latte form
