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:
- At 4 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 720 mg of magnesium, 2.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- Its 500 mg of cerevasc ginger (filed by NIH under ginger) is higher than 91% of the 1,770 ginger products that print an amount; 120 list more.
- 44% of the 79 products that print an amount of indian frankincense list more than its 100 mg of aflapin boswellia serrata (filed by NIH under indian frankincense) (median 100 mg).
The NIH database records 3 to 4 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.
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.
