Overview
This 2 ounce LD Carlson product is potassium metabisulfite, a home winemaking and brewing chemical used for sanitizing and preserving, not an ingestible dietary supplement despite its placement here.
LD Carlson is a home winemaking and brewing supply brand, and potassium metabisulfite is a standard additive in that hobby, used to sterilize equipment and inhibit wild yeast, bacteria, and oxidation in must or wort. The category label attached to this listing is misleading. Nothing in the title, brand, or model points to a product intended for consumption at dietary doses.

Performance notes
In winemaking, potassium metabisulfite releases sulfur dioxide when dissolved, which sanitizes equipment and suppresses unwanted microbial activity in must or wort before fermentation. The 2 ounce quantity is a typical hobbyist size, treating several small batches rather than commercial volumes. It is not formulated or dosed for ingestion as a nutritional supplement.
