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:

  • At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 40 mg of niacin, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • Its 3 mg of copper is higher than 96% of the 6,468 copper products that print an amount; 110 list more.
  • Its 6.4 mg of manganese is higher than 91% of the 7,016 manganese products that print an amount; 594 list more.
  • 60% of the 1,744 products that print an amount of vanadium list more than its 10 mcg of vanadium (median 25 mcg).

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.
