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 15,000 IU of vitamin A is higher than 93% of the 5,772 vitamin A products that print an amount; 326 list more.
  • 90% of the 14,425 products that print an amount of vitamin B12 list more than its 2.5 mcg of vitamin B12 (median 36 mcg).

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.
