What is in True Food Beta Carotene?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tablet. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

Not reported: no percentage is available for that row. A missing DSLD percentage does not establish whether an FDA reference value exists.
