What is in Amino Complex?
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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | less than 1 g | 1% | |
| Whey Protein, Hydrolysateas Milk70% Protein, provides 18 amino acids, including 9 indispensible, and 6 conditionally indispensable amino acids | 1,000 mg | 87% of 357 products listing whey protein give more (median 22 g). Per day at the most servings: 2 g. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 87% of the 357 products that print an amount of whey protein list more than its 1 g of whey protein (median 22 g).
The NIH database records 2 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.
