What is in Biotin 5000?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 white filled 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biotin | 5,000 mcg | 16,667% | Higher than 93% of 9,447 products listing biotin (median 200 mcg). |
| Calciumas Dicalcium Phosphate | 170 mcg | 13% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for calcium, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
