The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for pregnant and lactating. 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.

Directions
Dosage and Administration: Take one (1) softgel daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Warnings
Contraindications: TriStart Free should not be used by patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients.
Precautions: General: TriStart Free is not recommended for and should not be given to patients receiving levodopa because the action of levodopa is antagonized pyridoxine.
Folic Acid: Administration of Folic Acid alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which Vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
Adverse Reactions: Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at levels substantially higher than those contained herein.
Iron, even at the usual recommended levels, has been associated with gastrointestinal intolerance in some patients. Contact your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
