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:

  • 89% of the 6,910 products that print an amount of iron list more than its 0.5 mg of iron (median 5 mg).
  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 490 mg of magnesium, 1.4 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 92% of the 2,407 products that print an amount of alpha lipoic acid list more than its 7.5 mg of alpha lipoic acid (median 50 mg).
  • 91% of the 2,922 products that print an amount of coenzyme Q-10 list more than its 6 mg of coenzyme Q10 (filed by NIH under coenzyme Q-10) (median 60 mg).

The NIH database records 2 servings 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.
