Is that a lot?

- Its 720 mg of guggul (3 rows of the label added together) is higher than 92% of the 279 guggul products that print an amount; 22 list more.
The NIH database records 2 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.
