  • 94% of the 7,825 products that print an amount of chromium list more than its 10 mcg of chromium (median 100 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.
