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 12.13 g of leucine (3 rows of the label added together) is higher than 99% of the 2,056 leucine products that print an amount; 20 list more.
  • 90% of the 1,455 products that print an amount of arginine list more than its 28 mg of L-arginine (filed by NIH under arginine) (median 500 mg).

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.
