What is in Choline & Inositol 500 mg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cholineas Choline BitartrateCholine (Form: from Choline Bitartrate) | 250 mg | 45%* | Higher than 89% of 4,738 products listing choline (median 40 mg). |
| Inositol | 250 mg | Higher than 90% of 4,042 products listing inositol (median 30 mg). |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

- Its 250 mg of inositol is higher than 90% of the 4,042 inositol products that print an amount; 322 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.
