The person it came from was apparently a highly reputable source that a good friend of ours is currently in a relationship with. The people I know who introduced them are also experienced trippers and users and all spoke highly of other products they made (I'm not sure if they have had any of the above, but all recommended other products of theirs). It was a small festie of friends and mutual friends. It wasn't purchased from some random character that's not to be seen again; which is what gave my friend the confidence to buy in the first place.
It came in a small capsule with a kinda red substance stuck to the internal periphery of one end, some goldy/yellow specs (I presume are the DMT) with what looks like some greeny/brown bits in it too. It's kinda hard to see through the capsule.
It's completely impossible to identify what you have there by describing it, and for that very reason ID threads aren't allowed here. That said, I think it's safe to assume that it's
probably a mix of extracted harmala alkaloids (harmaline/harmine) and extracted DMT (or possibly another tryptamine) as this is also what is inside an ayahuasca brew.
Since you kind of know the person you bought it from, and who apparently made the extraction, I'd say it's pretty safe to consume. Otherwise I would have been inclined to agree with Bluedolphin who said it might be some unknown RC tryptamine.
If it were to be taken; would it be a bad idea to do it on an empty stomach to avoid any dietary conflicts?
So, there's definitely a Reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (also known as RIMA) in your capsule.

What you can, and cannot eat is highly exaggerated. These misunderstanding has come because there are different MAOI's. And it's the MAOI's that inhibit MAO-B that have severe restrictions on food.
When ingesting a MAOI-A, what you want to avoid is any kind of other drug, especially stimulants and entactogens (speed, MDMA, cocaine etc). You would also want to avoid serotonin releasing anti-depressants like SSRI's.
If you're on any kind of medication, check up on if there are any known counter indications with MAOI's.
Then again, you don't know what you have there in your capsule, and it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'd suggest that you avoid any kind of tyramine containing food ,listed here, at least 24 hours prior, during and after tripping.

And yeah, an empty stomach is not a bad idea, as it might make the nausea less and improve absorption of the drugs from the stomach.

The thing that made me think of 2c as a comparison was the "not as intense as DMT, not as long lived as ayha". We're aware that it's probably a totally different game. I was under the impression that the 2c range was made to sort of "simulate" the effects of DMT. Have I been misinformed?
^Yes, you have been misinformed. The 2C's belong to a totally diferent group of psychedelics than DMT, called phenethylamines.
phenethylamines work as psychedelics because they somewhat resemble the neuro-transmitter dopamine.
Mescaline cacti is THE nr.1 psychedelic phenethylamine found in nature, and the one from which all other psychedelic phenethylamines has been developed from.
The phenethylamines class includes: 2C-X, DO-X, cathinones (like mephedrone) Amphetamines (like 4-FA) and Mescaline analogs like Allylescaline.
DMT belongs to a group of psychedelics called tryptamines. Tryptamines work as psychedelics because they somewhat resemble the neuro-transmitter serotonin.
Psylocybin mushrooms is THE nr.1 psychedelic tryptamine found in nature, and the one from which all other psychedelic tryptamines has been developed from. (well, that and DMT)
Most research chemical tryptamines end with a "T". 4-aco-dmt, 5-meo-mipt, 4-ho-dipt, 5-meo-dalt etc.
You got to learn to use erowid.org/wikipedia/google. You seem to be lacking basic knowledge about psychedelics.
Good luck and have fun. Be sure to report back how your trip was
