So i've googled and researched and still cant find the answer!! Does anyone know how many MG's are in a teaspoon?

Depends on the size of the spoon,they"re all a little different in shape.Why not get a syringe and spoon and see what you have?

You have to be careful about confusing different measurements. mg is a mass measurement, while ml and teaspoon are volume measurements. I'm pretty sure 1 teaspoon=5 ml. Thus if the specific gravity of the compound is 1.0 (specific gravity of water=1.0... density water=1.0 mg/ml), then there are 5.0 mg in one teaspoon.

so if there is 35mg per ml (30ML bottle) 1 teaspoon dropper would equal 5mg?

no... that would be true if there were 30 mg per 30 ml bottle. If there are 35 mg for every 30 ml, then:

35mg/30 ml=1.1667 mg/ml
1.1667 mg/ml*5 ml (1 teaspoon)=5.83 mg (for every 5 ml)

Therefore, every 5 ml volume (teaspoon) has a mass of 5.83 mg.

Well that makes sense! So every ml= 35mg, a bottle of (30 ml) gives me about 30days worth at that doese. thanks for the help!!
