I had my husband pick some up from the store in hopes that it would help us recover quicker. It is recommended that you take 2-4 times a day. The packet is to be added to a 4-6 ounce glass of water and makes a fizzy drink with and orange flavor to it. Serving size is 1 packet 8.6 grams. The total calories are 25 per packet.
