- 52% of the 63 products that print an amount of sceletium list more than its 25 mg of eletium sceletium tortuosum extract (filed by NIH under sceletium) (median 50 mg).
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.
