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 20 g of hydrolyzed collagen (filed by NIH under collagen) is higher than 98% of the 1,008 collagen products that print an amount.

The NIH database records 1 to 2 servings 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.
