  • Customer Choice — Moderate to lower bioavailability; included because customer demand warrants availability.
  • Mapped Form — Mapped to a Preferred or Secondary form; dose is automatically adjusted for equivalent effect.

Each form’s absorption rating is determined from published absorption studies. We do not expose raw dose conversion ratios or proprietary calculation methodology in public-facing content.
