  • Its 3,000 mg of buffalo liver concentrate (filed by NIH under liver) is higher than 90% of the 221 liver products that print an amount; 4 list more.

The NIH database records one serving 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.
