grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
hard to say.
Jonathan assumes it is just cya.............
he didnt put it in writing that THIS stuff from orchid we are
consuming is safe.......he just referred us to an link.............
without expounding otherwise.............
i would have to say at this point that I do not recommend that anybody
consume MgT from orchid.
it would be nice if we could find out where SABRE sciences is getting
their product from so that we could order it direct.
:(
i am thinking that there may be very small contaminants in this mgT--
giving it to rats would be fine, but not to humans...........
perhaps not pharmaceutical grade, in other words............
