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 570 mg of meta-factorial anti-DC mechanism (filed by NIH under green tea) is higher than 93% of the 2,595 green tea products that print an amount; 174 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.
