Ok, they returned back from the chemistry store and they're very sure it's
not produced anymore and that there isn't any stock. ???

Will try to compound it myself first...

Thanks Alberto. I asked the chemistry store (to have them import it for me)
and they've said it's not produced anymore. Actually two different chemist
said the same thing. ???

Anyway, I've just sent them the product page for both oxalate and citrate
salts, re-asking may work.

Will go for Labotech2000 in case of they fail. In any case, I'm reluctant to
import chemistry myself; occasionally, they give you hard times in
customs...

Regards,
Loris.

P.S. I'm still interested on directions / recipes on how to compound AFC
(and AFO) at home...
