Maybe I'm confused, but it looks to me like the highest
dose did better.  It also seems that the intermediate
doses might have done better if they hadn't had more
early mortality (which might have been due to something
other than the supplement).  Note that the 150 mg
cohort's population stayed steady near the end while
all the rest were dropping.

I'd say try them all again.

Cheers,
Kennita
