Nootropics Depot's Tongkat Ali Declared Most Cost-Efficient and Potent in Industry, According to Independent Lab Tests
TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New independent UPLC laboratory testing has confirmed that Nootropics Depot's Tongkat Ali extracts are the industry's leading choice for both cost efficiency and potency, dramatically outpacing seven major competitors. This robust data, generated by advanced Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC), positions Nootropics Depot as the category benchmark for quality and transparency in the Tongkat Ali supplement market. Key findings highlight: Nootropics Depot's 10% eurycomanone extract delivers 18.0mg of active eurycomanone per dollar, a 3.3x cost advantage over the nearest competitor and up to 40x more value than premium-priced brands. Its 10% extract provides 10–12mg of lab-verified eurycomanone per 100mg dose, while competitors typically yield only 0.13–4mg per dose. Cost per mg of eurycomanone for Nootropics Depot's 10% extract is just $0.06, compared to $0.20 to $5.77 from competitors, leading to as much as 96x more active compounds per dollar spent. These results are detailed in a transparent, third-party report and set a new standard for evidence-based supplement selection. "We've always believed the best way to earn customer trust is transparency," said Paul Eftang, CEO of Nootropics Depot. "This independent lab data is validation for consumers. Not only are we delivering more of Tongkat Ali's active compounds, we're setting the bar for value, potency, and scientific rigor in an industry notorious for marketing hype." "Consumers deserve clear, standardized information so they can make meaningful health decisions — not just clever branding and proprietary blends," Eftang added. "We invite every brand to publish their own lab results. This is how the industry should operate." Nootropics Depot offers three main Tongkat Ali options: Tongkat Ali 10% Tablets: Highest potency, delivering up to 12mg eurycomanone per 100mg dose. Tongkat Ali 2% Capsules: Full-spectrum, balanced option with 4mg per 200mg dose. Eurycomax Optimized Stack: Combines two extraction methods with synergistic ingredients for broader hormonal support. Additionally, the company's transparent and published testing methods allow consumers to easily compare products, moving the supplement industry toward higher standards of honesty and efficacy. Nootropics Depot is a leading supplement company setting benchmark standards for quality and transparency in the industry. Founded in 2013, Nootropics Depot's mission has been to educate consumers on the science behind dietary supplements, and to advance the lab testing and quality control standards of the industry. Their stance is that consumers should be able to trust the products they buy, and that the brands selling those products have a duty to ensure they are using modern validated science. Nootropics Depot offers a wide range of high-quality cognitive enhancement and general health supplements. The company's commitment to quality and transparency is evident in their rigorous testing procedures, easily accessible Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and lab testing results available on every product page. In addition, they have formed a Scientific Advisory Board with board certified doctors, PhD researchers, and botanists to ensure that consumers can trust that scientific rigor is being upheld in everything they do. Nootropics Depot's newly redesigned website features a user-friendly interface, and includes an innovative quiz to help beginners find the right supplements for their needs. With partnerships with third-party labs, and collaboration with the Future Nutra Foundation, Nootropics Depot continues to push the boundaries of supplement quality and consumer education.

Ukraine is now Trump's war
Donald Trump Russia War in UkraineFacebookTweetLink Follow Vladimir Putin started it. Joe Biden didn't stop it. But, no matter his efforts to the contrary, this is the week in which Russia's invasion of Ukraine becomes US President Donald Trump's war. The most powerful office in the world doesn't always invite choices. Trump is mandated to address the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II because the United States was involved, under his predecessor, as Ukraine's key ally and sponsor. Trump could have dropped the war entirely. But instead, he chose to impose the force of his personality, initially through the idea he could end it in 24 hours, or a revised deadline of 100 days. Then he tried to navigate its personalities, cozying up to the Russian president initially, echoing his narratives and then berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly in the Oval Office. He hit his NATO allies hard, demanding they pay more for Europe's defense, which they did. And then the hard slog of diplomacy sputtered into gear, ultimately yielding very little. But it is in the last fortnight that Trump's decisions – and realizations – have turned this into a problem he now owns. He has seen Putin does not want peace. He has seen Ukraine urgently needs arms, and he tried to help, albeit in a lackluster way. He made the remarkable choice of responding to the usually dismissed nuclear saber-rattling of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, with harder nuclear threats about positioning US nuclear submarines closer to Russia. The US went from pausing military aid to Ukraine to threatening nuclear force against Russia in less than a month. As this week ends, with Trump's shortened deadline for a peace deal coming into view, he must make perhaps the most consequential decision of the conflict yet. Does he impose penalties – secondary tariffs against Russia's energy customers – that really hurt? Does he accept the US and its allies might need to endure a little pain economically, to inflict pain? Imposing serious secondary sanctions on India and China could roil the global energy market. Trump posted Monday he would be increasing tariffs on India because it was selling Russian crude on at a profit, and he didn't 'care how many people are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' although he did not provide details as to the new measures. India has not made it publicly clear if it intends to stop buying Russian energy products. China is utterly dependent on Russian oil and gas and simply cannot afford to stop buying it. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh describes the riveting escape plan hatched by Ukrainian forces to save the life of an injured soldier pinned down by Russian attacks. To avoid another a 'TACO' moment – short for Trump Always Chickens Out – Trump will have to cause some discomfort and will likely feel some back. Or he can look for an off-ramp, if one is offered to his special envoy Steve Witkoff in an expected Moscow visit this week. Trump could perhaps accept a bilateral meeting with Putin as a sign of progress toward peace. But even this backing down would still mean he has left his indelible imprint on the war – that, in the words of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell regarding Iraq, if the United States breaks it, they own it. Trump cannot have it both ways. It is in his nature to seek to be the fulcrum of all decisions, and the lightning rod of attention, on any given issue. Every turning point so far has been based around his personal choice and fancy. And with this comes a key lesson of the American presidency. Trump does not get to choose which problems are his, and which he can ignore. MAGA's America First platform may be about reducing Washington's global footprint, but it doesn't permit Trump to own solely his successes – and not his failures. Unless Trump reduces the footprint of American power globally to zero – incompatible with a presidential personality compelled to 'do' and agitate – there will always be some problems that are America's. He says he wants wars to stop. But that is not enough in itself. The wars have not all complied. Former US President Barack Obama inherited wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He ducked fast out of the former, and doubled down with a surge in the latter, which did not work. Afghanistan became Obama's war, even though it was a mess he had inherited. Trump in turn was passed that mess, and he handed his quick fix to Biden to execute, in the chaotic collapse of August 2021, widely paraded by Republicans as a Democrat failing. Trump faces the same problem of inheriting a crisis. He cannot wish or cajole the conflict to an end. The very battlefield deaths he mourns have sewn damage and grief afar, turning this into an existential war of survival for the Kremlin, and for the soul of Ukrainian society. Ukrainians want to live in peace, without nightly air raid sirens. Putin does not want peace, and instead his most recent maximalist demands amount to something tantamount to Ukrainian surrender. Ultimately, it is reflection of a harsh reality that this should be seen as Trump's war. It is the defining conflict of his presidency and of the post-9/11 era. Its outcome defines European security and Chinese belligerence over the next decade. China understands that and needs Russia to win. Europe understands that, and is arming itself so Russia does not see opportunity in the bloc's weakness. Whether Trump understands this and accepts discomforting, strident decisions with the consequences that follow, we will learn in the week ahead.
