7 tablets or 1-1/4 teaspoon of powder
(about 3.5 grams) is the recommended serving size. Two to three servings
per day will ensure you get a full complement of quality greens
every single day. Like with exercise, the benefits of eating well
come from consistency over time.
The 3.5 gram size is the equivalent
of a single serving of dark green leafy vegetables as defined by
the USDA.
So
when is it best to take them?
Ideally,
you would take your wheat grass or barley grass an hour or so
before a meal with a good amount of water or other liquid. This
helps your body take full advantage of the nutrients without
competing with other foods, and may also take the edge off your
hunger so you don't eat as much at meals. Mid-morning and
mid-afternoon are great times for a green energy pick-me-up.
However,
what's *most* important is that you take it at a time that is most
convenient for you, so you get your greens every day.
