What is in Chromium 200 mcg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tablet. 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).

|---|---|---|---|
| Niacin | 1.8 mg NE | 11% | 97% of 12,413 products listing niacin give more (median 20 mg). |
| Chromium | 200 mcg | 500% | Higher than 72% of 7,825 products listing chromium (median 100 mcg). |

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:
- 97% of the 12,413 products that print an amount of niacin list more than its 1.8 mg of niacin (median 20 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.
