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 3,294 mg of glycine is higher than 98% of the 1,078 glycine products that print an amount; 20 list more.
  • Its 1,937 mg of L-proline (filed by NIH under proline) is higher than 90% of the 387 proline products that print an amount; 36 list more.

The NIH database records 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.

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
