You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ratio of units is 5 ml. = 1 teaspoon. That is approximate. You might try 14.8 ml. = 3 teaspoons which is a little more accurate.

2 teaspoons done 4 times per day, is:
2%2A%2814.8%29%2A4 milliliters in one day.

You finally want 500%2F%282%2A%2814.8%29%2A4%29%29
Check all the units to see how all of this made sense.
