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).

|---|---|---|---|
| Chondroitin Sulfate | 500 mg | Higher than 53% of 950 products listing chondroitin sulfate (median 400 mg). |
