What is in Silica Gel Citrus Flavored?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tbsp. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 10 Calories | ||
| Total Carbohydrates | 2 g | 1% | 58% of 21,979 products listing carbohydrate give more (median 3 g). |
| Sodium | 40 mg | 2% | 56% of 14,514 products listing sodium give more (median 55 mg). |
| Silica | 420 mg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for silicon, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
