General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. 4 teaspoons is not too much. It is ok to take 4 teaspoon. You have to chew and smash the seed properly to get the benefit. Drink water after 1 hour. 2 glass is ok. No need to worry. Taking excess is not good as it can decrease the blood levels of B6 vitamin.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
