Before you write

Two things make the answer a lot more useful:

  • What the sample is meant to be, and what the label declares.
  • The form it is in — oil solution, powder, tablets, lyophilised vial.

We cannot advise on dosing or human use, and we do not answer questions about where to obtain a compound.
