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 970 mg of wildcrafted kava kava extract (filed by NIH under kava kava) is higher than 92% of the 97 kava kava products that print an amount; 7 list more.
The NIH database records 1 to 4 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.
