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:
- Its 2,400 mg of green lipped mussel powder (filed by NIH under new zealand green-lipped mussel) is higher than 97% of the 78 new zealand green-lipped mussel products that print an amount.
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.
