The product works wonders and helped with my urinary problems which is wonderful since I regularly get urinary tract infections. I recommend making no more than what you can drink straight away as it becomes really bitter after it sits for a while and then has to be diluted with water to become remotely drinkable. Overall very satisfied and greatful for the almost immediate relief. Would recommend a stronger dose of two scoops per cup to achieve results quicker :) !
