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:
- 86% of the 2,363 products that print an amount of black pepper list more than its 2.5 mg of bioperine black pepper extract (filed by NIH under black pepper) (median 5 mg).
