Did Something Change with Nootropics Depot 10% Tongkat Ali ?

When i bought it two years ago, the capsules were dark brown in color and had a strong bitter aroma..i definitely felt that it performed as advertised and was happy with my purchase.
However i recently bought the same thing again and just received my bottle. this time the capsules are almost yellow in colour and the odour is gone....if i didn't know any better it feels that ND filled the bottle with something other than tongkat ali just going by how different it looks/smells.
what gives?

We originally sold Tongkat 10% in tablets. However, it is very bitter, and people on Amazon especially complained about the taste. Since we don't pay for reviews like other brands, those negative reviews were killing our listing. That's when we decided to move to capsules instead. We shifted the 10% over to capsules completely for both the main site and Amazon. Then people here were saying they didn't feel the effects from the capsules as strongly, likely because bitterness signaling does have an effect in the body, so we decided to offer the tablets again as a secondary option on the main site. We kept Amazon capsules, but give people the option for tablets if they buy directly from us. Sorry for the confusion! In our attempts to appease everyone, we made it much more complicated. It just goes to show you everyone is different, and wants/values different things.
