- 98% of the 18,583 products that print an amount of vitamin C list more than its 4 mg of vitamin C (median 100 mg).
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.
