PCA has been designated by the FDA as Generally Recognized as Safe (G.R.A.S.) as a food flavoring additive. This amount is generally considered to be 1% concentration.
Dose

Dr. Johnson has a clinical study underway in humans to verify the contention.
PCA is a powerful antioxidant, 10 times more powerful than vitamin E. Antioxidants are fundamental to health and wellness.
