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 70 mg of Lipa4 lipase (filed by NIH under lipase) is higher than 93% of the 366 lipase products that print an amount; 25 list more.
  • over 99% of the 793 products that print an amount of dandelion list more than its 1.4 mg of dandelion (median 100 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.
