  • At 4 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 108 mg of iron, 2.4 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • At 4 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 1,160 mcg of iodine, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.

  • Its 275 mg of choline is higher than 91% of the 4,738 choline products that print an amount; 405 list more.

The NIH database records 4 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for pregnant and lactating. The directions as printed are further down this page.
