What is in Biotin 8 mg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biotin | 8,000 mg | 26,667% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for biotin, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
