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:
- 66% of the 111 products that print an amount of chanca piedra list more than its 50 mg of standardized phyllanthus amarus extract (filed by NIH under chanca piedra) (median 250 mg).
The NIH database records 1 to 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.
