Products by amount of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) per serving
10,060 products, log scale; extreme 0.2% at each end left out of the drawing.

How do the amounts compare with the Daily Value and the upper limit?
The FDA Daily Value for pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is 5 mg (adults and children 4 and older). The median product gives 240% of it per serving; the 90th percentile 2000%.
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 pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)?
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).
