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 1,950 mg of fructooligosaccharides (filed by NIH under fructo-oligosaccharides) is higher than 90% of the 526 fructo-oligosaccharides products that print an amount; 49 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.
