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:
- Its 7,100 mcg of vitamin K (3 rows of the label added together) is higher than over 99% of the 4,607 vitamin K products that print an amount; 40 list more.
- Its 15 mg of lycopene is higher than 91% of the 1,691 lycopene products that print an amount; 99 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 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.
