What is in Bone Care?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calciumas Dicalcium Phosphate | 280 mg | 22%* | Higher than 76% of 17,831 products listing calcium (median 115 mg). Per day at the most servings: 560 mg. |
| Magnesiumas Magnesium Gluconate | 80 mg | 19%* | 51% of 14,003 products listing magnesium give more (median 86 mg). Per day at the most servings: 160 mg. |
| Vitamin D3as Cholecalciferol | 20 mg | 100,000%* | This amount is far outside what other labels list for vitamin D, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
| Vitamin K2as Menaquinone-4 | 20 mg | 16,667%* | This amount is far outside what other labels list for vitamin K, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
