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 1,000 mcg of folate is higher than 93% of the 7,022 folate products that print an amount; 183 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.

Directions
Dosage and administration: Before, during and/or after pregnancy, one softgel daily or as directed by a physician.
Warnings
PNV-DHA contains fish oil and soy.
Contraindications: PNV-DHA is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensivity to any of the ingredients.
Warning: Ingestion of more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) per day has been shown to have potential antithrombotic effects, including an increased bleeding time and International Normalized Ratio (INR).
Administration of omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided in patients taking anticoagulants and in those known to have an inherited and acquired predisposition to bleeding.
Precautions: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 1.0 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.
Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Adverse reactions: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
Storage
Storage: Store at 20 degrees - 25 degrees C (68 degrees - 77 degrees F); excursions permitted to 15 degrees - 30 degrees C (59 degrees - 86 degrees F). [See USP Controlled Room Temperature.]
