- Its 670 mg of calcium (2 rows of the label added together) is higher than 94% of the 17,831 calcium products that print an amount; 1,122 list more.
- 86% of the 7,016 products that print an amount of manganese list more than its 0.5 mg of manganese (median 2 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.
