What Does a 100:1 Extract Mean on a Supplement Label?
A 100:1 extract is a concentrate made from about 100 parts of raw plant for each 1 part of extract. HoneyBoost lists tongkat ali root extract 100:1 at 25 mg, which the label equates to 2,500 mg of root. The gummy holds the 25 mg of extract, not the 2,500 mg of root. Studies used other extracts at other amounts.

The ratio
What is a 100:1 extract?
A 100:1 extract is a plant concentrate, described as 100 parts of raw plant reduced to 1 part of extract. The ratio tells you how concentrated the powder is. It does not tell you how much of any one compound is inside.
On the HoneyBoost panel, the tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia) line reads 100:1 and 25 mg, with "equivalent to 2,500 mg" beside it. The arithmetic is simple: 25 mg times 100 is 2,500 mg.
The root figure is a source amount, not a gummy ingredient.
That 2,500 mg is a statement about how much root the extract came from. It is not an ingredient you swallow.
In the gummy
Is 2,500 mg of tongkat ali root in each gummy?
No. Each gummy holds 25 mg of extract. The 2,500 mg is the raw root the extract is said to come from, and it is not in the gummy. The whole gummy weighs 4,200 mg.

Bars show the milligrams printed for one gummy. Mucuna is 10 mg of extract; 9.8 mg of it is L-DOPA.
Bars show the plant each extract was made from, on a log scale (each step is ten times more). The root is not in the gummy; the extract is. Mucuna shows its 9.8 mg of L-DOPA.

Study doses
How does 25 mg compare with the amounts studied?
It is much smaller. One open study of 76 men with low testosterone symptoms used 200 mg a day of a standardized water-soluble extract for a month, which is 8 times the 25 mg on the label (Tambi 2012, Tongkat Ali 200 mg and late-onset hypogonadism).
LiverTox gives a traditional dose of 100 to 400 mg a day, and says product strength is not standardized (LiverTox, Tongkat Ali). Clinical studies it reviewed showed mild rises in total testosterone, not free testosterone.

FAQ
HoneyBoost questions people ask
What does 100:1 mean on a supplement label?
It means the extract was concentrated from about 100 parts of raw plant into 1 part. A 25 mg capsule or gummy line at 100:1 is said to equal 2,500 mg of plant. The amount you swallow is still the 25 mg.
Is a 100:1 extract stronger than a 10:1 extract?
It is more concentrated by weight, but strength depends on which compounds are in it. A higher ratio does not prove a stronger effect. Compare the extract type and the studied amounts, not the ratio alone.
Is tongkat ali 100:1 the same as 200:1?
No. They differ in concentration, and extract methods differ too. LiverTox notes that tongkat ali product strength is not standardized. Read the label for the ratio, the plant part and the milligrams.
How much tongkat ali is in HoneyBoost?
Each gummy lists 25 mg of tongkat ali root extract at 100:1. The label equates it to 2,500 mg of root. The gummy contains the 25 mg of extract. Ask a doctor first if you take medicine.
