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 4,000 mg of L-arginine (filed by NIH under arginine) is higher than 95% of the 1,455 arginine products that print an amount; 65 list more.
- 91% of the 6,459 products that print an amount of vitamin E list more than its 7 IU of vitamin E (median 30 IU).
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.
