What is in Bio Immune Defense?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 0.4 ml. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin Cas Calcium Ascorbate | 9 mg | 15% | 96% of 18,583 products listing vitamin C give more (median 100 mg). |
| Zinc Gluconate | 1 mg | 6% | The label names the compound (Zinc Gluconate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the zinc it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
