Is that a lot?

The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:

  • Its 60 mg of thiamin is higher than 91% of the 9,830 thiamin products that print an amount; 822 list more.
  • Its 60 mg of riboflavin is higher than 93% of the 9,824 riboflavin products that print an amount; 614 list more.
  • At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 60 mg of niacin, 1.7 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • Its 60 mg of vitamin B6 is higher than 94% of the 15,277 vitamin B6 products that print an amount; 880 list more.
  • 60% of the 1,744 products that print an amount of vanadium list more than its 10 mcg of vanadium (median 25 mcg).

The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
