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:

  • 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.
  • Its 300 mcg of iodine is higher than 95% of the 6,382 iodine products that print an amount; 235 list more.

  • Its 400 mcg of vanadium is higher than 92% of the 1,744 vanadium products that print an amount; 132 list more.

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.
