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:
- 91% of the 3,358 products that print an amount of caffeine list more than its 50 mg of naturally-occuring caffeine (filed by NIH under caffeine) (median 200 mg).
- Its 250 mcg of chromium is higher than 90% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 641 list more.
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.
