My apologies for the incorrect information here. Until the formula was
changed, I truly believed it to be a better product than the competing recon
agents, and was a _general_ supplement.

Also, I notice your sig line changed this time. Congratulations are in order
here, I believe. :-))

Unfortunately (for my stand), when I responded oh so early in the morning I
was reading from my bottles of Potassium (whose dosage only raises the level
by 1 ppm) and Iron (which tells you that the dosage results in around 0.10
ppm, which we don't shoot for anymore if we listen to Tom and Claus) and
just sleepily extended it to the whole line. I probably should have stayed
in bed that day.

And while I'm preparing this Crow Pie to eat, let me say that the quote from
Frasier in my original reply to Jeff was a little over the line and
should've been omitted...
