I’ve just bought this and going to try it rather than capsules
It doesn’t say how much to take and when I’ve googled it, it’s various answers
Also one of the answers said it shouldn’t be taken every day so anyway I am asking anyone for any advice on how much I should take and is it better to take in the morning or in the evening? I think morning empty stomach.
Also, is it okay to take every day?

As NotSpaghettisays, it's very easy and cheap to make, just buying milk after the original purchase of the kefir grains.

I got into it after following podcasts from Cultured Food Life by Donna Schwenk who seems to know everything you could wish to know about how to achieve a happy healthy gutsmile

Pably15 is correct. If your immune system is compromised eg when having chemotherapy you should consult yout hospital team before taking any live bacteria, live yoghourt, blue cheeses etc. I expect those in that camp would be aware, but pably15 is correct to warn.

HelterSkelter1 I had no idea that everyday foods (such as yogurt) could be a problem if your immune system is compromised.

Bit of a problem now, because I buy the litre size (more economical )of having to drink quite a lot every day because apparently it needs to be used within two days of opening..
So I am having a large glass every day..
Does anybody have this product and use it after the two days? Is what I’m really trying to find out.🤓

I get the litre size and it lasts me for 3 days.. It's fermented so I don't think it actually needs to be used within 2 days of opening
