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:

  • At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 45 mg of niacin, 1.3 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 92% of the 2,407 products that print an amount of alpha lipoic acid list more than its 6.5 mg of alpha-lipoic acid (filed by NIH under alpha lipoic acid) (median 50 mg).
  • 94% of the 1,220 products that print an amount of silicon list more than its 0.5 mg of silicon (median 4 mg).
  • 99% of the 2,922 products that print an amount of coenzyme Q-10 list more than its 0.15 mg of coenzyme Q-10 (median 60 mg).

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.
