Is that a lot?

- 90% of the 373 products that print an amount of hericium mushroom list more than its 70 mg of Lion's mane mushroom (filed by NIH under hericium mushroom) (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.
