- Its 2,000 mg of peppermint is higher than 97% of the 278 peppermint products that print an amount; 2 list more.
The NIH database records 2 to 3 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.
