1. When taking anything new, it is best to begin slowly, and drink plenty of clean structured water. See Twilight Precious Prill stories.
2. Start with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the powder in a glass of juice. Ramp-up gradually to 2 level teaspoons daily, within about a week or two.
Then adjust your servings up from there as suits your sense of what amount works best for you. Athletes, hard physical or mental workers, creative folk, the elderly, people who are too heavy, and those in special need, may want 6 teaspoons per day or even more. For healthy, long-time Exsula enthusiasts, it will probably be 2 to 3 per day. For an average person, this may be up to 6 early on, and then tapering back to 2 to 4 level spoonfuls per day.
3. Iridesca may be energetically “too hot” or too complex for you. Consider moderating it - or fine tuning it - by taking a smaller amount of it with a larger amount of Excela-50.
4. Or - take a couple of level teaspoons of Iridesca in the morning and then Excela-50 in the early afternoon to sustain phytonutrient momentum and enhance benefits.”
5. Do not use too much powder in a glass of juice. You want it to taste good and go into solution for maximum assimilation. Make a thin smoothie - not pudding!
We heartily advise you blend only 1 level or slightly rounded teaspoon per 8 oz (cup) of juice, or 2 level teaspoons per 12 oz to 16 oz drinking glass. Try diluting your favorite juice by 1/3 with water, to suit your taste, before blending in the powder.
6. Try different juices. One that everyone seems to love when they try it is called Aronia. It is like a cross between blueberry and cranberry It adds potassium, antioxidant anthocyanadin bioflavonoids, and vitamin C. It is available on many supermarket juice shelves.
Orange juice is also very popular - especially for Excela-50. Apple is popular too, and lower acidity. Kids go crazy for Iridesca in V-8 Splash fruit juice blend. Try different juices and blends for variety and to discover your own favorites.
If you are into making your own smoothies, try adding ice, fruit juice, frozen juice concentrate, banana, and fresh or frozen fruit chunks. For a heartier, even more nutritious shake, add a tablespoon of flax and lecithin.
7. Obviously, fresh fruit or vegetable juices are a superior base to blend in, if you have access to them. However, making use of whatever juice you have access to, so you stay on track with your Iridesca program, is what is most important.
Certain purists will always want their fresh-pressed juices. And Iridesca loves these superior bases. Yet Iridesca was created to facilitate the average person using the micro-blender to whip a couple of spoons of Iridesca into their breakfast glass of orange juice - and thus get far superior levels of phytonutrients and enzymes than what they could get by going with the fresh-pressed juices and handfuls of supplement pills.
8. When traveling, put however many of your daily servings of Iridesca that you need into a sandwich size zip lock bag. If you are using the Heart Studies Formula also, mix them together for convenience. Put your plastic spoon in the bag, and then put the smaller bag into a sturdy quart size zip lock, and then in a location in your luggage where it is safe from puncture.
During your travel day, or at your hotel, get a small bottle of juice. Drink some to allow space for powder and for shaking.
Put the cap back on tight and shake. Drink some or all as you wish. If any is left, put the cap back on and take your smoothie along with you to sip as you travel the rest of the morning.
