What is in Vitamin B-12 Plus Iron?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. 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).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |

| Ironas Ferrous SulfateIron (Form: as Ferrous Sulfate) | 18 mg | 100% | Higher than 74% of 6,910 products listing iron (median 5 mg). |
