  • Its 500 mcg of vitamin K is higher than 95% of the 4,607 vitamin K products that print an amount; 160 list more.
  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 24 mg of manganese, 2.2 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • Its 1,350 mg of chondroitin sulfate is higher than 99% of the 950 chondroitin sulfate products that print an amount; 13 list more.

The NIH database records 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.
