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 400 mcg of chromium is higher than 93% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 391 list more.
- Its 10,000 mg of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (filed by NIH under guar) is higher than 97% of the 128 guar products that print an amount.
- 92% of the 3,339 products that print an amount of boron list more than its 0.1 mg of boron (median 1 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.
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.
