I take it every day. Mix 1 heaping teaspoon of Borax "laundry detergent" into 16 ounces of water. Take two teaspoons of this solution daily, I mix one tsp. into my water/lemon juice drinks twice a day. I also add a pinch of Redmond salt to the mix, along with 2 drops of Lugol's iodine and a few drops of Stevia.
You have a unique way of taking it...I just mix 1/8 tsp. of borax (female dose) in my coffee in the morning. That is also a great way to add iodine...so you add 2 drops to 16oz...which seems fairly diluted. I just take a drop a day. Do you feel the positive effects of the iodine? My main drink is water/lemon throughout the day so your recipe looks quite doable but I wonder if it is too diluted...I found where this suggestion comes from...interesting...

Question for you and u/rherrell - whole not as good, would I still get lemon juice benefits from a tablespoon of this daily? https://santacruzorganic.com/products/p/concentrates/100-percent-pure-lemon-juice
I am really not sure what your question is. This lemon juice that you posted about has horrible reviews so I wouldn't even be tempted to buy it. I use a product called True Lemon for my daily lemonade (true lemon/stevia) and it has great reviews. I am sure you know that you would never take highly acidic things straight. I also use True Lime/stevia to flavor my unflavored unsweetened yogurt. I am thoroughly pleased with these products because I have the benefits of lemons/limes without the hassle of keeping them on hand or buying a product like the one you listed. Hope you find the answer you are looking for...
I've never had a peppermint with the product and have been using it for years. The number of reviews on the vendor site (17) don't compare to the number on Amazon (>10k) and the average is 4.6 stars.
Most of the reviews on the vendor site were "bought at Walmart", which is starting to sounds more like this is a Walmart problem rather than a Santa Cruz problem.
But. I will say again... You did answer my question. 😊
This helps, thank you.
Thats a ton. 1/8 tsp a day female. 1/4 tsp day male.
would size/weight be a better way to judge dose?
Duno, the dosing ive seen is what i stated, didnt mention weight.
How do you figure?? You take in FOUR DAYS what I take in a MONTH!! Read my post again, the 16oz. of water with one teaspoon of borax dissolved in it lasts me a month, I don't drink the whole thing in one day.
Sorry, cant read. That is indeed low, more like the test it out and see how you react experimenting.
No worries. Check out a guy named Walter Last, here's his recommended dosage...
Walter Last Boron Concentrate
Mix 1.5 tsp or 6 grams of borax in one litre of distilled or pure filtered water. This becomes your concentrated solution.
Drink 1-2 tsp or 5-10 ml's of this solution, mixed into a glass of water or food three to five times daily spaced evenly throughout the day. Continue with this amount for 3 to 4 months before dropping back to a maintenance dose of twice daily.
That's an awfully large dose. You really only need a small pinch daily. There is no added benefit for larger doses.
Read my post again, 1 tsp. lasts me a month.
Ah, my mistake! Good idea.
