What is in Astaxanthin Algae Powder?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 0.25 tsp. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astaxanthin, Powderas Algae | 1,000 mg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for astaxanthin, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
