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 2,000 mg of green coffee is higher than over 99% of the 668 green coffee products that print an amount; 1 list more.
- Its 1,000 mg of GS4 plus (filed by NIH under gymnema) is higher than 95% of the 444 gymnema products that print an amount; 14 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.
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.
