is this real?? not sure how it could be since Arr sells it already liquid.... plus all the fillers, etc in pills would though that off. This has to be a joke that I fell for....?

the melting point comment.
There is more than one possible technique to identify unknown compounds and figuring out the melting point (MP) of a compound is way. For example using a hot stage apparatus, one can actually watch the sample start melting and end melting which will give a range of melting points that may be close enough to make an identification. After determining the MP range of the unknown compound, you can make an educated guess based on what you have observed and then use a technique called mix melting to become even more certain. I won't get into mix melting on this post. Like you stated earlier, there are many compounds with small differences in MP due to fillers.
Now there are materials which seem to melt over a broad range of temperatures. While others have a "sharp" MP. This term reffers to a material which goes from solid to liquid within a very short temperature range. A broad melting point is often an indication of an impure material (contaminated, not 100% pure).
This is only one way to identify an unknown compound, hope that helped!
