- Its 100 mg of chlorophyll is higher than 91% of the 394 chlorophyll products that print an amount; 15 list more.
The NIH database records 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.
