- 80% of the 220 products that print an amount of pine list more than its 10 mg of enzogenol pine bark extract (filed by NIH under pine) (median 83 mg).
The NIH database records 2 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.
