What do y'all think of dissolving zinc valerate in say a small amount of 100 proof vodka to help with absorbtion and distribution? would it hurt the viability and effectiveness of the zinc valerate? thanks

Hot water is all I have used to dissolve Zinc Valerate. Even with hot water it can be a little tuff to get it dissolved. Give it a good shaking!
Curious as to why & when Zinc V. & Vodka would be necessary?
