What does Sulphur 200C mean?

Sulphur is a chemical element and the source name used for a homeopathic preparation. “200C” identifies a centesimal potency. It is not the same as crude sulphur powder, a supplement dose or a standard course. Do not ingest raw industrial or agricultural sulphur products.
