- 91% of the 5,772 products that print an amount of vitamin A list more than its 600 IU of vitamin A (median 4,000 IU).
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.
