What is in Cholo-Pak?

Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 packet. 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:

  • over 99% of the 14,175 products that print an amount of vitamin D list more than its 0.425 mcg (17 IU) of vitamin D (median 15 mcg (600 IU)).
  • At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 282 mg of niacin, 8.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 91% of the 6,382 products that print an amount of iodine list more than its 33 mcg of iodine (median 150 mcg).
  • 91% of the 11,614 products that print an amount of potassium list more than its 17 mg of potassium (median 99 mg).
  • 97% of the 436 products that print an amount of acerola list more than its 1 mg of acerola (median 60 mg).
  • 92% of the 1,744 products that print an amount of vanadium list more than its 8 mcg of vanadium (median 25 mcg).

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.
