What is in QuintEssential 0.9?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 10 ml. 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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium | 1.3 mg | 1% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for calcium, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
| Magnesium | 2.9 mg | 1% | 98% of 14,003 products listing magnesium give more (median 86 mg). Per day at the most servings: 8.7 mg. |
| Sodium | 28 mg | 1% | 64% of 14,514 products listing sodium give more (median 55 mg). Per day at the most servings: 84 mg. |
| Potassium | 1.3 mg | 1% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for potassium, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |

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:
- 98% of the 14,003 products that print an amount of magnesium list more than its 2.9 mg of magnesium (median 86 mg).
The NIH database records 1 to 3 servings 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.
