  • 87% of the 4,607 products that print an amount of vitamin K list more than its 20 mcg of vitamin K (median 80 mcg).
  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 40 mg of niacin, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.

The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
