- 91% of the 17,831 products that print an amount of calcium list more than its 20 mg of calcium (median 115 mg).
- At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 60 mg of zinc, 1.5 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
The NIH database records 2 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.
