How much trenbolone acetate does the federal government consider an acceptable daily intake for humans?

"The ADI for total residues of trenbolone is 0.4 microgram per kilogram of body weight per day."

Most people who regularly eat beef consume trace amounts of pharmaceutical residues from trenbolone, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone, not that it has any meaningful physiological impact.
