How do the amounts compare with the Daily Value and the upper limit?

The FDA Daily Value for chloride is 2,300 mg (adults and children 4 and older). The median product gives 3% of it per serving; the 90th percentile 16%.

The adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level is 3,600 mg a day (total intake from food, water and supplements). At the most servings their labels direct, 2 of the 1,451 products with a plausible amount (0.1%) give more than that from the supplement alone (what counts as plausible).

The upper limit is for total intake from food, water and supplements unless stated, and does not apply under medical supervision. A label amount is what the maker printed. This is data, not advice: the NIH ODS fact sheets explain what each nutrient does.

Sources: 21 CFR 101.9(c)(8)(iv) (Daily Values); Institute of Medicine, DRI summary tables (2011) (upper limits); on reading them, the FDA's Daily Value page.

Which products list the most chloride?

On-market products, per serving, with a plausible amount: the rule leaves out likely entry slips, such as an amount far beyond every other label with no %DV or strength on the label to back it (each product page still shows its own amount, marked).

Have the amounts changed over the years?

Products whose current label entered DSLD in 2011 list a median of 72 mg; those entered in 2025, 142 mg.
