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:
- 91% of the 559 products that print an amount of medium chain triglycerides list more than its 0.05 g of medium chain triglyceride, powder (filed by NIH under medium chain triglycerides) (median 1.5 g).
The NIH database records 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.
