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:

  • Its 12,500 IU of vitamin A is higher than 92% of the 5,772 vitamin A products that print an amount; 428 list more.
  • 97% of the 14,175 products that print an amount of vitamin D list more than its 1.25 mcg (50 IU) of vitamin D (median 15 mcg (600 IU)).
  • At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 95 mg of niacin, 2.7 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • Its 250 mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is higher than 96% of the 10,060 pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) products that print an amount; 298 list more.
  • Its 10 mg of manganese is higher than 93% of the 7,016 manganese products that print an amount; 228 list more.
  • 93% of the 981 products that print an amount of METHIONINE list more than its 6 mg of L-methionine (filed by NIH under METHIONINE) (median 100 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.
