What is in Boron 3 mg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 vegetarian capsule. 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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riboflavinas Vitamin B2 | 25 mg | 1,923% | Higher than 75% of 9,824 products listing riboflavin (median 4 mg). |
| Boron Complexas Boron Aspartate, Boron Citrate, Boron GlycinateBoron Complex (Form: as Boron Citrate, Boron Aspartate, Boron Glycinate) | 3 mg | The label names the compound (Boron Complex); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the boron it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
