A good friend of mine said he didn't like this product because it was clumpy (when mixed with a liquid) and had the tast and texture of sand. I buy alot of NOW products so thought I'd try it anyway. He was right. I used it twice and threw it out. I followed instructions and mixed 1 tablespoon with liquid (water), stirred and drank. Floating clumps of "sand" is what it resembled. No thanks. He's found another product that he absolutely loves, and I'll listen to him this time and try that instead. Don't waste your money.
