It’s in a powder form. Servings: if you drink 1 tsp., three times daily, one bottle is a 50-day supply for one person. If you work up to 2 tsp., three times daily, that’s a 25-day supply. I’d start at 1 tsp. and increase gradually.
I am trying to find where you wrote about other powdered greens , you ranalysis, I know I have seen it before but can’t find it now, can you please direct me to find it? I am going to be traveling and since I don’t have time to order the vitamineral green, I need to have the best I can find. Thanks
Here you go, about my research on powdered greens products:

I’ve just started drinking the powdered greens Robyn sells on her site, thanks to reading about her Parisian exploits. I found a pretty good way to deal with it at work (and on travel) that I thought I’d share.
I leave the big original jar at home and fill a plastic container with a flip-top lid (like this http://www.rubbermaid.com/rubbermaid/product/product.jhtml?prodId=HPProd100018) with the green powder. I use a container about half the height of the one in that link so it fits in my desk drawer. When I go to refill my water bottle during the day, I tap some of the green powder (about 0.5 tsp since I drink a few bottles) into my empty water bottle and add an individual package of True Lemon, one of those powdered lemon substitutes. I then just fill my water bottle from the dispenser at work like I normally would, shake it up, and voila–lemon-flavored green-colored healthy water. It’s really delicious–who knew!
Robyn—does this green powdered stuff provide all the probiotics a person would need (as in don’t need any other probiotic supplement (I am looking into starting to make Kefirs–but diary free)
We are off all Dairy –there isn’t any traces of it in the powdered green is there? also do these expire exactly 5 years from when? on the shelf (or is it just in that relative time and do they slowly lose nutrient content each year? THANKS
No dairy in it whatsoever. It could lose nutrition over 5 years–I don’t know, haven’t tested it. I think if you drank it regularly you’d have all the probiotic you need.
