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:
- At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 40 mg of niacin, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- 86% of the 7,022 products that print an amount of folate list more than its 100 mcg of folic acid (filed by NIH under folate) (median 400 mcg).
- Its 200 mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is higher than 95% of the 10,060 pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) products that print an amount; 406 list more.
- Its 260 mg of choline is higher than 91% of the 4,738 choline products that print an amount; 427 list more.
The NIH database records 1 to 2 servings 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.
