Any decent brands selling Tongkat Ali online?

I looked at some posts on here about people asking where to buy Tongkat Ali but like every post on this reddit it started a debate in the comments.
But from all the posts and a little research I found Nootropics Depot, did anyone try buying Tongkat Ali from them? If yes, would you say it was legit? And which one is better the 2% Eurycomanone or 10%?

I might be the only customer who preferred the tablets. I tend to prefer powders and tablets over capsules but it’s probably psychological thing that makes me feel like I’m getting more out of a supplement when I taste it’s raw, earthy, bitterness on my tongue.
In all honesty, the capsules are probably fine.

No, you are not the only one saying they prefer the tablets, and I get what people are saying. When you activate the bitterness receptors in the mouth, it causes signaling cascades. Us trying to make it so people don't have to taste that bitterness might have inadvertently caused people to lose that immediate effect from the T2Rs activation.

The capsules bypass the T2Rs activation in the mouth altogether. I bet this is why people are saying they prefer the old tablets. We can do a small run of tablets and offer them side by side for people. I don't see an issue with that. Sometimes I should just leave things alone, rather than trying to improve them for a subset of customers that are complaining about taste.
