I found that, but there's nothing specific about what is in there...how much NPK/micros, what form, etc. Just a bunch of statements that, IMHO, look to be claiming a lot without anything to back it up. At least the Seachem liquid ferts line, for example, provides more details about what's actually in their bottles...

Liquid is good vs. root supplements, obviously since the moss isn't rooted in the substrate. But other than that, there really isn't enough to say whether it is a good choice to use.

Are you outside of the US/Canada?

Yes,so i can't give it a try a small dose or something can hurt :')?
I won't repeat the good advice Josh has posted. And I agree that not knowing exactly what is in this product is disturbing. I am not comfortable with their caution not to use for three weeks, and their statements that this somehow affects fish and cycling. I do not add substances into my fish tanks that I do not have a fairly good grasp of to begin with. Some chemicals can interfere with various natural biological processes. I'm not saying this product is harmful, or good; I can't tell.

Byron.

Java moss does not need ferts of any kind IME. Just pick out the brown bits (if they bug you). You don't need mystery vitamins or anything else...just wait a bit, it'll be fine.

If you could please add your state or country in your location here, it can help us help you.
