Is that a lot?

  • 93% of the 7,022 products that print an amount of folate list more than its 75 mcg of folic acid (filed by NIH under folate) (median 400 mcg).
  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 400 mg of magnesium, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 90% of the 7,658 products that print an amount of selenium list more than its 15 mcg of selenium (median 55 mcg).

The NIH database records 1 to 2 servings 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.
