When I was doing research for the, you know, for the CE, I just started going on the internet and seeing, okay, what could I just buy? Joe Blow is going to buy it. And a lot of it was being sold as a supplement, but it was what's called reagent grade, which is what you would use in a lab but not put into humans or really an animal, right? A reagent is for mixing, you know, 2 things in a test tube or something like that. But they're selling a ton of that, like, and people don't know the difference. And one of the big things with methylene blue is it contaminates easy when they're, when they're they're synthesizing from their raw material. And, if they don't make sure it doesn't have heavy metals, you're literally taking a dose of certain heavy metals every time you get a reagent-grade methylene blue. And, yeah, it's cheap and, yeah, you don't need a prescription, but that doesn't mean it's good.
