What is in PM Pack?

Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 packet. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

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:

  • Its 460 mcg of chromium is higher than 95% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 380 list more.
  • 91% of the 11,614 products that print an amount of potassium list more than its 15 mg of potassium (median 99 mg).
  • Its 1,400 mcg of vanadium is higher than 96% of the 1,744 vanadium products that print an amount; 62 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.
