Wow - you have great questions! I personally do not know the answers
for sure... but... I would suggest taking the the cleansing formula at
lunch. The aloe vera (which is optional by the way) I used came in a
quart sized plastic jar. It was inbetween gel and liquid. Sort of a
jellish liquid if that makes sense. I could pour it into a spoon but
it was pretty thick. Mine was flavored with mint. I don't think I
could have handled it otherwise.
Best of luck to you both!
