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:

  • 92% of the 14,175 products that print an amount of vitamin D list more than its 2.5 mcg (100 IU) of vitamin D (median 15 mcg (600 IU)).
  • 98% of the 955 products that print an amount of astaxanthin list more than its 0.005 mg of astaxanthin (median 1 mg).
  • Its 490 mg of rose hips (filed by NIH under dog rose) is higher than 94% of the 397 dog rose products that print an amount; 21 list more.

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.
