What is in Bilberry 1000 mg Plus Lutein?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 softgel. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bilberry | 1,000 mg | Higher than 96% of 896 products listing bilberry (median 50 mg). Per day at the most servings: 4,000 mg. | |
| Lutein | 5 mcg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for lutein, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
