What is in Max BCAA?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 4 tablets. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

| Vitamin B12as Cyanocobalamin | 6 mcg | 10% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for vitamin B12, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
