how legitimate is a 22 percent Eurycomanones in a tongkat ali supplement?

I have been a loyal Nootropics Depot customer (especially their Tongkat Ali) for close to a decade and I know how most suppliers of tongkat ali supplements have negligible eurycomanone content. Refer to: https://nootropicsdepot.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-tongkat-ali-extracts/
Therefore, when a supplement company from my side of the world (Southeast Asia where Tongkat Ali is produced) is claiming to have a standardised 22 percent eurycomanone product at 20 USD per bottle, I am a little skeptical. I am just wondering whether do you think the logistics/price point checks out? Is this a legitimate brand? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

While I don't believe any of the products claiming 100:1 to be honest, 4:1 doesn't make sense. TA is literal tree and extracts supose to be water soluble.

High eurycomanone extracts all use ethanol. You cannot get in the 2% or higher range without using at least some ethanol in the extraction. As you go higher, you transition to mostly ethanol. Once you get to something like our 10%, column chromatography comes in to isolate the quassinoids more. Native concentration of eurycomanone in dried non-extracted Tongkat root is 0.08% to 0.11%.
