- Its 4 mg of copper is higher than 98% of the 6,468 copper products that print an amount; 48 list more.
- Its 10 mg of manganese is higher than 93% of the 7,016 manganese products that print an amount; 228 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.
