For a measurement of 150 milligrams, would I use the drop spoon?

As others have stated, it depends upon the "density" of the compound. For example, caffeine has a density of 1230 mg per cubic centimeter. So, if you want 150 mg of caffeine, you need to use 0.122 cubic centimeters or converted to teaspoons is approximately 1/40th of a teaspoon. A very very tiny amount of caffeine! However, take a lightweight compound like dried parsley ... 150 mg of dried parsley is 1.5 cubic centimeters or approximately 1/3 of a teaspoon. So, 150 mg of parsley takes up over 13 times as much space as an equivalent weight of caffeine. Hope that helped.

Fill the drop spoon with exactly the stuff you want to measure, then weigh the amount. That's the most reliable way to find out.

It's going to depend on the density/mass of what you're weighing. If you're weighing lead shot, it'll be MUCH more than 150mg. If you're weighing bird feathers, much less. I think the smidgen spoon is more in line with that 'on average' if memory serves me correctly. I think the smallest one was only about 50mg for what I was weighing. I can try to verify that for you, though. I use the pinch size for about 250mg of what I'm weighing, but again, I need to verify that. My cheat sheet is at home, and I'm not at the moment.

Sorry, I have no idea. I thought these spoons were more a joke than for actual measuring!

I would probably say 1 tbsp. That's what I use and that is more than enough.

What size spoonful are you referring to? Unless it is a measured spoon (1 tsp, etc) it would be hard to say since all spoons are different.

it is stated in the package that 50mg is 1/32 of a teaspoon. i bought a little set of teaspoons from amazon that has spoons for 1/32 and 1/64 here http://www.amazon.com/Amco-Pourfect-12-Piece-Measuring-Imperial/dp/B002Y3YIAO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-3&keywords=small+teaspoon+1%2F32

I'm sorry I've only used grams at this time. I will try to remember to look into this for you.

It's a little bit awkward to figure dosages with this bulk form. There is no scoop inside the bag. On the front are listed standard measuring spoon amounts in milligrams. 1/4 tsp = 780 mg. 1/16 tsp = 190 mg. So 1000 mg would be somewhere near the two of these.

You can buy this on Amazon for $6.80, Norpro 3080 Mini Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons, Set includes ( tad, dash, pinch, smidgen and a drop ) If you use the smidgen spoon slightly rounded thats 100 mg.

Also, the suggested dosage is 1-4ml (mg) for adults. I have some NatureMade tablets that are 3mg. The dropper for these Sundown Naturals is marked for 0.5ml and 1.0ml, which is convenient for kids. I think the pediatrician had suggested 1mg when needed, for elementary school age kids. We used to give 0.5 -1.0, which seemed to do the trick at a low/safe dosage.

Go to a store and carry a tape measure with you. One glance at the cup or bowl will tell you how much soup or cereal or coffee/tea with go in them. Do you need to be spoon-fed?

I do not think a regular spoon will work but perhaps a demitasse spoon will work.

160mg per 1/2 teaspoon. I.E., 320mg per teaspoon. Quite a lot, actually. But that doesn't tell the whole story, see my review on Bragg's Liquid Aminos.

Yup. I usually use it to measure grams, but it seems to also measure to the milligram fairly well. If you have to be super accurate you may want to also purchase a calibration weight.

I would not think much. I would try about a 1/4 of the measuring spoon that they give you.

The label I have only says "serving size: 46 mg" and to use only an accurate milligram scale to measure

No, cannot measure in milligrams! For that you need to get yourself a scientific scale suitable for the chemistry labs.

1400mg per tbsp, you are not eating this by the serving however, but using it as an ingredient in recipes

Hi Stefanie, What I read on the back is "3 tsp.", which is 3 teaspoons, meaning 1 tablespoon. One teaspoon is 5mg; the "15g" metric measurement agrees with the teaspoon measurement. But I use those serving sizes as a suggestion anyway. ;)
