Hi, you might want to read through this other trypt thread. Here's a 'sample' post, asking the same question and with the same site at issue. I think the overall conclusion here was that the veterinary "cover" is just to stay outside FDA requirements of responsibility for any seller encouraging human consumption (as stigma still hovers), but that the grade is actually fine. Must weigh that for ourselves of course; I may ask a doc to prescribe the capsules for me since it seems a benign request. Or I may just try the vet site at hand, it doesn't worry me from what I've read *so* far. Some posters who I think are pretty knowledeable got involved in this thread:http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20031023/msgs/275718.html
