What does this mean? It is dangerous to play with dosages? (Sorry, not native englisch speaker :) )

Ok so I have a question, when you see 50% Ecdysterone on a 500mg capsule does that mean that 250mg is Ecdysterone and the other 50% (250mg) is something else?
Also, what does it mean when you see a product label marketing the substance as Pharmaceutical grade, would this mean that the product is at a higher quality?
Excuse my ignorance as I am new to this and thank you for enlighten me.

The ecdysterone is the primary active in the plant extract. It's not synthetic ecdysterone. It's an extract from Cyanotis arachnoidea standardized to 50% beta-ecdysterone. The other 50% is other ecdysteroids, other actives from the plant, and plant material like cellulose. We could do a 98% extract, but I think there are other things in the plant that help it work better, and the cost per mg doesn't make sense. It's better to take 500mg of a 50% than 250mg of a 98%. The cost per dose is less, which is how we have been able to make ours so cost effective. Our beta-ecdysterone is not only potent, but also the cheapest per mg on the market. Plus, you get other things in the plant, too. We did find a couple milligrams of turkesterone in our extract, for example.
Pharmaceutical grade means nothing. It's meaningless fluff some brands use to trick consumers. Most brands just lie and write all sorts of shit about their products.
