Source: accredited SGS test reports 4701925 and 4743786. Per-serve figures are per-100 g ÷ 5 at a 20 g serve. % RDI is calculated against the regulatory RDI/ESADDI values in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, and applies to vitamins and minerals only. † Potassium has no single regulatory RDI for % RDI claims, so no value is stated. Riboflavin, vitamin B12, zinc and biotin each qualify as a “good source” at 25% RDI per serve or above.
In practice
One scoop, once a day.
Water, milk or a smoothie. Stirred into coffee, oats, yoghurt or baking. It is mild enough that you will forget it is there.
