  • 92% of the 36 products that print an amount of alpha galactosidase list more than its 10 GALU of alpha-galactosidase (filed by NIH under alpha galactosidase) (median 200 GALU).

The NIH database records 1 to 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.
