If necessary, the total daily number of scoops may be divided into 2 doses per day. 
The powder is best mixed with juice, yoghurt or similar foodstuffs.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SUPPLEMENT MORE PLEASANT TO TAKE, ADD TO YOGURT (OR JUICE)  AND ALLOW TO DISSOLVE FOR 5 – 10 MINUTES, STIRRING OCCASIONALLY. (IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!)
Please note that the large 5ml scoop, is equivalent to 5 of the small 1ml scoops,  and should only be used for children over 160lb or adults. Use the small 1ml scoop for children. 

Notes:

  1. When starting for the first time, it is recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase. 
  2. For people with cancer, it is recommended to get a doctor's advice before taking products containing folic or folinic acid. 
  3. Taking Euro-TNS is not a replacement for a healthy diet - please include plenty of fruit, vegetables and wholegrains in the diet.
