What is in Platinum Multi Vitamin?

- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 60 mg of niacin, 1.7 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- Its 7 mg of manganese is higher than 92% of the 7,016 manganese products that print an amount; 554 list more.

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.
