What is in Folinic Acid with B-12?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. 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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folate | 667 mcg DFE | 167% | |
| Calcium Folinate | 400 mcg | 0%* | over 99% of 17,831 products listing calcium give more (median 115 mg). |
| Vitamin B12as Methylcobalamin | 6 mcg | 250% | 74% of 14,425 products listing vitamin B12 give more (median 36 mcg). |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
