For those who are mathematically and metrically challenged, here are a few useful facts. A kg (kilogram) is roughly 2.2 pounds. Divide a pound (16 ounces by 5) to get the .2 lb.) So a kg is roughly 35+ ounces (16 + 16 + 3.?). One mg. (milligram) is equal to 1,000 mcg. (micrograms). Therefore, 0.2 mg is the same as 200 mcg. Happy calculating, and good night. A 1250 lb. horse weighs 10 times a 125 lb. woman. Therefore one tenth (1/10) the dose for the horse would be good for a 125 pound woman. Slightly smaller fractions of a dose would work for heavier men and women, like 1/8, or 1/6th. If this is too hard for you to calculate safely, find someone with good math skills to help determine the fraction of an animal dose that would be safe.

Yep. I double checked at a few sites. The dose per pound is the same for humans as it is for a horse. All I could find was the horse paste.

One tube was for a 1250 pound horse. I ended up using an engineering scale to divide the plunger into 6 equal parts (I’m about 200 pounds) and marked it with a Sharpie.

Put it on a spoon and slurped it up. Not the greatest taste - but it’s medicine!
