- Its 14 g of medium-chain triglycerides (filed by NIH under medium chain triglycerides) is higher than 91% of the 559 medium chain triglycerides products that print an amount; 5 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.
