What is in CardioAid Phytosterols?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 caplets. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CardioAid Phytosterols | 1,600 mg | Higher than over 99% of 440 products listing phytosterols (median 400 mg). |

Is that a lot?

- Its 1,600 mg of CardioAid phytosterols (filed by NIH under phytosterols) is higher than over 99% of the 440 phytosterols products that print an amount; 3 list more.
The NIH database records one serving 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.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
