What is in Children's Zinc Lozenge?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 lozenge. 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).

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 90% of the 18,583 products that print an amount of vitamin C list more than its 20 mg of vitamin C (median 100 mg).
