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 75 mg of vitamin B2 (filed by NIH under riboflavin) is higher than 94% of the 9,824 riboflavin products that print an amount; 486 list more.

  • Its 600 mcg of chromium is higher than 97% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 209 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.
