Yep, that's how I read it to. Just keeping the middle man in business.
The lack of authenticity certification is a ridiculous prospect though because Alavi would be making the compound up blind. How would he know what to compound it with, to what strength etc. I don't buy it, sorry.
Dear Mr Alavi,
Could you please compound this 'vitamin' powder into pills? It's a really strong vitamin mix, so please cut it with something you have lying around. About 10% vitamin, OK? Can you put those Superman "S" stamps on them as well? They're cool. If not, a smiley face will do.
This is all totally legit.
Thanks,
Mr Smith.
