I’m not sure what point you’re making exactly. You keep talking about this 0.5% thing. I’m not sure why.

Several vendors sale 200X caapi extracts. One sales 200x, 100x, and 5x. I'm sure you've seen them. Those are the standard potency sales pitches.

The 200x is pure alkaloids. The 100x is 50% pure. They sale at different prices and their effects are as expected. The 200x is twice as potent as the 100x, the 50x is 5 times as potent as the 10x, etc.

Whether they are actually 200x obviously depends on the strain used. It’s more of an advertising thing than an actual potency. SWIM has purchased 200x, 100x, 30x, 10x, and 5x, and the 200x is the best of the X's you can get. SWIM has not purchased from every single vendor there is though. Only a few places carry 200x because of the high price in having pure alkaloids.

Caapi contains from 0.1%-2% alkaloids. It varies widely just like P. harmala does. It’s alkaloid mix varies more than P. harmala does though. Some strains are very high in THH, nearly pure THH, while others are nearly pure harmine, but most are a mix of the two. Some even have substantial amounts of harmaline and other alkaloids. Each variety has a different mix of alkaloids, and even among the same variety large variances exist.

As far as advertising goes, the 200x means pure alkaloids. The 100x means 50% pure. That's all it means. It's an advertising standard that's been adopted by the sellers of caapi extracts. If you start advertising your extract as 100x to mean pure alkaloids, while others are selling 200x to mean pure alkaloids, it's not going to be a good advertising move because the general public is going to think the 200x is better than your 100x.
