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:

  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 130 mg of niacin, 3.7 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 500 mg of magnesium, 1.4 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 91% of the 2,922 products that print an amount of coenzyme Q-10 list more than its 5 mg of coenzyme Q-10 (median 60 mg).
  • 92% of the 2,407 products that print an amount of alpha lipoic acid list more than its 5 mg of alpha-lipoic acid (filed by NIH under alpha lipoic acid) (median 50 mg).

The NIH database records 2 servings 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.
