Is that a lot?
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 6,400 mg of organic elderberry (filed by NIH under european elder) is higher than over 99% of the 920 european elder products that print an amount; 6 list more.
The NIH database records 1 to 4 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.
