A tasteless powder. I tend to take small amount - perhaps a tsp. in my black coffee.
The amount could be increased, though I seldom do so. To me, less is always better than too much.

If needed, a quarter cup raisin bran combined with my other dry cereals - 3/4 c- and milk.

For extreme need, I have a container of delicious dates, which I don't dare touch unless the need is truly there.

What about just plain carbon capsules, available in most health food stores like GNC DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #1
