Vanadyl Sulfate Hydrate5 mg

The label names the compound (Vanadyl Sulfate Hydrate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the vanadium it holds, so it is not placed among other products.

  • Its 400 mcg of chromium is higher than 93% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 391 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.

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.
