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 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 140 mg of niacin, 4 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • Its 450 mcg of chromium is higher than 95% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 382 list more.
  • 91% of the 1,338 products that print an amount of L-carnitine list more than its 20 mg of L-carnitine (median 500 mg).
  • 92% of the 1,744 products that print an amount of vanadium list more than its 9 mcg of vanadium (median 25 mcg).

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.

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.
