There is no recipe.

They are "pellets", which are very small, dissolving "pills", easily
dissolve under tongue OR mixed in food.
VERY EASY to administer! (Hylands PS LABS are a little larger
more pill-like than Boiran's, which are tiny, small "balls" -
pellets.)
Does this make sense to you

Yo there Karen - the homeopathic remedies sometimes comes in what's called
