* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

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 1,000 mg of vitamin C is higher than 91% of the 18,583 vitamin C products that print an amount; 445 list more.
  • 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.
  • 90% of the 4,390 products that print an amount of molybdenum list more than its 11 mcg of molybdenum (median 50 mcg).

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.
