What is in Amino Acids?

Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. 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).

  • At 3 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 60 mg of zinc, 1.5 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 96% of the 2,056 products that print an amount of leucine list more than its 0.046 g of L-leucine (filed by NIH under leucine) (median 2.5 g).
  • 97% of the 1,632 products that print an amount of valine list more than its 0.034 g of L-valine (filed by NIH under valine) (median 1.25 g).

The NIH database records 3 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
