How long should I wait between doses?

I bought the mucuna from Banyan and it's gray, not black and tastes like wheat-grass juice. Does this sound right?
It turns black once it gets wet and is exposed to the air. Dosing varies so much that one must inch it up patiently. I would be tempted to try one dose in the morning and a second mid-afternoon.
