What is in Pouncing Hammer AKG?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 3 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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate | 3,000 mg | Higher than 82% of 322 products listing arginine alpha ketoglutarate (median 1 g). Per day at the most servings: 6 g. | |
| Taurine | 200 mg | 65% of 2,337 products listing taurine give more (median 500 mg). Per day at the most servings: 400 mg. | |
| Vanadyl Sulfate | 5 mg | The label names the compound (Vanadyl Sulfate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the vanadium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
