Even better results are obtained by dissolving the 100 mg of Te in a small quantity of nitric acid (1 ml or so). Then add the mix to 1 liter of water.
In this way you dilute the acid with a factor of 1000. Take 20 ml of this water and add to a liter of water again. This gives another dilution by a
factor of 50. From this take 20 ml of solution, add to 100 ml of water, add a small amount of NaHCO3 and drink. You'll get a few tens if micrograms of
nitrate (which has no effect at all in these small quantities) and your 40 micrograms of Te, now in the form of a soluble compound.
