Hi, I did want to respond to you. I was hoping you would contact me directly, but since you haven't, here goes. I began in September of 2000 by taking 1/4 tsp. of the glyconutrients two times daily, 2 phytonutrients and 2 phytosterols. I increased to 1 tablespoon a day of the glyconutrients over a 3 month period of time and kept this up for about 9 months or so. At some point, I felt I was doing great and cut back to about 1-2 tsp. a day with the other products. But, I had a setback so increased it again. The thing with glyconutrition is what one person may need (1/4 tsp. 2times a day) may only be the tip of the iceberg for others, who may require 4 tablespoons a day. Only you and your body can tell. Hope this helps.
