There's nothing difficult about adjusting a dose of some soluble substance to
pg levels. You can do it in your kitchen sink (literally).

E.g. mix 1 gm of X with 1 L of (e.g.) water; extract 1gm of the mixture. You've
diluted it 1000 times (i.e. your 1 gm of extract contains around 1 microgram
of X). Repeat as desired.
(You may as well stop diluting before you reached the point where it's 
unlikely even 1 molecule of the substance remains in your "extract").
