How many drops is everyone using to mix 1 gallon of mix? the label shows 5 drops for each pint so technically it's about 40 drops to mix 1 gallon. i've mixed about 2 gallons at 40 drops each so far but when i go to check the bottle, i see about 1/3 already used up. at this rate, i'd be lucky to get even 6 gallons out of each 15ml lactase drop, far from the 10 gallons claimed. i still save money over pre-mixed lactaid milk but just not as much as i had thought.

I'd say that's a very accurate assessment. It does not go as far as they claim. They do not mention to keep it refrigerated, either. It loses its effectiveness rapidly at room temperature. But overall, still a good product and fills a huge need.

The only way to figure out how much you need is to test it a cup at a time. Some people need more and some less. I use about 4 drops in my cup of tea each morning, but I also take 2 tables along with it. The drops are effective immediately and the tables for later. Testing is the only suggestion I can give you, not knowing to what degree your intolerance to milk is. At around $20.00 a bottle it's more cost effective to combine drops and tablets. Hope this has helped.

I don't measure out drops. I just use 2 droppers full per gallon. I haven't kept track of how many gallons a bottle will treat, but it seems to last me quite a long time, at a rate of 1 gallon per week.

Mix with water 1.5 oz of product per gallon. About 21 gallons, if I did my math correctly.

Yes, it tells you how many drops per gallon. I use it on 6 gallon containers.

Try to give an example for you: 4 cups mixture = 1 part nectar use 1 cup concentrate.......3 parts water use three 3 cups of water.Happy bird watching !!

instructions read, '2-3 drops per 100ml of water'. Hope that helps. Why not try 9 drops? If too strong, reduce amount or increase if not strong enough. I find some oils are stronger than others so less is needed.

Well I used 1 US gallon. I wish it were expressed in litres though! Thought he Metric Conversion Act of 1975 was the law of the land, but I suppose it could be suspended in time of national crisis! One US Gallon, make sure it is not ultra high pasteurized though and is whole milk. Next batch I am going to add some cream for added fat! Raw milk is very hard to find unless you have access to a dairy farmer! Super easy to make mozzarella!

8 drops to empty container for every gallon 16 if water is cloudy or questionable!! ( example: 30 gal would be 240 drops) hope this helps!!

Just put seeds in a blender, add water until the water is an inch above the seeds, and blend. I wonder how much milk the 5 lbs. would make in terms of gallons.

Yes the bottle labels have a table that tell you how much to mix for the following gallons of water:2.5 gal 1/2tsp part A and B5 gal, 1tsp part A and B30 gal, 2tbs (1oz) part A and B60 gal, 4tbs (20z) part A and B

I add 6 drops to my 24 oz container every day and it works for me. If you want to keep the same ratio, you would add 4 drops to your 16 oz container.

The bottle says to add 5 drops per pint of milk and that there are enough drops to treat 75 pints of milk. Hope that helps. I only use it to treat heavy cream to make ice cream so it will last me quite a while. I put about 10 drops in a pint of cream, just to make sure, and have been trying to scale back to see how low I can go. For milk, I just buy the kind that is already lactose free because my son only uses it for cereal in the morning.

My recipe called for 2 droppers full but I ended up using more. I used some that I bought at Michael's so it wasn't very strong. I wonder if you would need less if you used a higher quality oil like doTerra? It's a matter of personal preference I would assume. Start with a little and add til it smells the way you want it. Hope this helps. Good luck!

As per the bottle: Serving size 5 drops : Approx amount per serving: 750 Lactase Units. A serving is advocated as 5 drops of the liquid for every pint of milk left to work for 24 hours under refrigeration. Thus far in my humble opinion, these drops have worked the best in comparison to a similar product I picked up in NE.

3 drops per every 12 oz. is the ratio I use. Luckily I had a "lavender scent" lotion and I added the lavender to make it REAL lavender lotion. I would compare both scents side by side and see if they compliment each other. Just my story and thoughts.

I got 20 gallons out of this bottle but I also started out putting 38 drops in a gallon and after a couple gallons I started adding less each time to wean my 18 month old off of lactose free as she outgrew the lactose intolerance.

Depending on your body, either 32 or 16, being 32 16g servings or 16 32g servings. There are 32 scoops, each with a 16g serving included (as well as all the amino acids, etc). You can mix it with water, but typically you'll mix with milk or a milk substitute, which of course will add additional protein. Starting out, taking in much more protein than that your body won't be able to precess it all and some will get stored as fat, so you'll stick to one scoop and get 32 servings out of it. HOWEVER, if you are already muscular and trying to add bulk you'll want to do a double scoop serving to up the protein to 32g, which will of course mean you'll only get 16 servings out of a bottle.
