This amount is far outside what other labels list for lutein, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD.

* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

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:

  • 85% of the 2,922 products that print an amount of coenzyme Q-10 list more than its 10 mg of CoQ10 (filed by NIH under coenzyme Q-10) (median 60 mg).

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.
