  • Its 300 mg of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is higher than 95% of the 100 indole-3-carbinol (I3C) products that print an amount; 2 list more.

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.
