Reported, not recommended.

This table records what the published literature and reference material state. It is not a protocol, not a recommendation, and not medical advice. Nothing here establishes that any figure is safe, effective or appropriate for anyone, and no row should be read as an instruction to act on.

RES Institute publishes it for the same reason it publishes everything else: people making decisions about these compounds are better served by an accurate reference than by a gap they will fill from somewhere worse. Anything involving your health belongs with a licensed provider, and the safety subject covers how to read a material and its paperwork before any of this is relevant.
