What is in CHOL-Support?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 liquid vegetarian 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pantesinas Pantethine | 300 mg | 6,000%* | Higher than 97% of 10,060 products listing pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) (median 12 mg). Per day at the most servings: 600 mg. |
| Pycrinil Artichoke extractas Caffeoylquinic Acid, Cynaropicrin, Flavonoidsstd. to 5% cynaropicrin providing flavonoids and caffeoylquinic acid | 250 mg | Higher than 75% of 433 products listing artichoke (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 500 mg. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

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:
- Its 300 mg of pantesin (filed by NIH under pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)) is higher than 97% of the 10,060 pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) products that print an amount; 249 list more.
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.
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.
