How many micrograms are in your drops?

It's not an exact science as the drop sizes can vary slightly depending on pressure, drops come out at approximately 800mcg each.

How do you take it?

There are a few ways. Ours is a liquid solution, so you can simply place a few drops (carefully - it stains!) into water or juice and swallow it, or if you're feeling brave and have a few hours at home and you won't mind having a blue tongue, directly into your mouth. The taste is quite bitter, so some people enjoy mixing a bit of cordial or citrus to neutralise it. 

You can also add some drops into a nebuliser and breathe the vapour for a more cognitive effect.

What is the correct dosage?

The ultimate question! There is a lot of information out there on dosage for MB which can often be contradictory, but through our experience with customers it varies so greatly per individual. That's why the general recommendation we like to offer is start small and slow, then work your way up. Some folks are very sensitive to one drop, while other's don't feel much after forty drops! It all depends on how your body metabolises them and what's happening in your system.

Take it slow and allow time to figure out what works best for you.

Will it stain my teeth?

If you have natural teeth, no. They may appear blue for a little while after taking it, however it will fade. In fact, we have noticed MB having a slight whitening effect due to the cancellation of yellow pigment (like purple shampoo). 

However, if you have dentures or veneers, there is definitely potential for long term and permanent staining and you should tread very carefully and maybe reconsider.
