What is in Him?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 6 capsules. 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).

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 20,000 IU of vitamin A is higher than 95% of the 5,772 vitamin A products that print an amount; 227 list more.
- Its 1,000 mg of vitamin C is higher than 91% of the 18,583 vitamin C products that print an amount; 445 list more.
- Its 400 IU of vitamin E is higher than 91% of the 6,459 vitamin E products that print an amount; 120 list more.
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 40 mg of niacin, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- 99% of the 73 products that print an amount of cryptoxanthin list more than its 8 mcg of cryptozanthin (filed by NIH under cryptoxanthin) (median 10 mcg).
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.
