What is in Ala Sap?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha-Lipoic Acid | 275 mg | Higher than 87% of 2,407 products listing alpha lipoic acid (median 50 mg). Per day at the most servings: 550 mg. | |
| Biotin | 50 mcg | 167%* | 73% of 9,447 products listing biotin give more (median 200 mcg). Per day at the most servings: 100 mcg. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
