hi, i'm using lbb, about 8/day. I'll take it 2 caps at a time spread out over the day. if i'm noticing it's not enough, i take more, but sometimes then it's too much...a bit tricky finding just the right amount. i also take 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed/day, which i'm not sure if that should be included in a juice fast, but seems to help me for now.
