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 421 products that print an amount of omega-6 list more than its 6 mg of total omega-6 fatty acids (filed by NIH under omega-6) (median 140 mg).
- over 99% of the 257 products that print an amount of phospholipid list more than its 2.5 mg of phospholipid (median 245 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.
