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 1,000 mcg of folic acid (filed by NIH under folate) is higher than 93% of the 7,022 folate products that print an amount; 183 list more.
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 106 mg of iron, 2.4 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- 96% of the 14,003 products that print an amount of magnesium list more than its 6.9 mg of magnesium (median 86 mg).
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.

What does the label say about taking it?
Quoted from the label as DSLD transcribed it: the maker's words, including any claim about what the product does, which the FDA has not evaluated and PlainVitamins does not endorse.
- Directions
- Dosage and administration: Adults only: 1 capsule daily, between meals, orally. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Do not administer to children.
- Warnings
- Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
- Warning: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.
- You should contact your healthcare provider for medical advice about adverse events. To report a serious adverse event, contact US Pharmaceutical Corporation, P.O. Box 360465, Decatur, GA 30036.
- Contraindications: Hemocyte Plus Capsules are contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, and hemolytic anemias. Pernicious anemia is a contraindication, as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms. In case of accidental overdose call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
- Iron is toxic. When overdoses are ingested by children, severe reactions, including fatalities, have resulted. Hemocyte Plus Capsules should be stored beyond the reach of children to protect against accidental iron poisoning. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.
- Precautions: General: Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg - 0.4 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
- Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
- Adverse reaction: Allergic reactions have been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
- Caution: Rx only.
- Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation) occur occasionally, but are usually mild and subside with continuation of therapy and physician encouragement. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, occasional G.l. disturbances may be controlled by giving Hemocyte Plus Capsules shortly after meals.
- Storage
- Store at room temperature between 15(0)-30(0)C (59(0)-86(0)F). Keep in Cool Dry Place.
