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 1,000 mg of ksm-66 (filed by NIH under ashwagandha) is higher than 93% of the 1,646 ashwagandha products that print an amount; 98 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.
