What is in Zinc Citrate 95.8 mg?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc Citrate Dihydrate | 95.8 mg | 871%* | The label names the compound (Zinc Citrate Dihydrate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the zinc it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
| Zincequiv. | 30 mg |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
