How to read this page

Published is the value shown by WHO, USDA, or DailyMed. Calculated is our result from the product formula. Difference shows how far apart they are.

We compare every ingredient and nutrient amount supported by these checks. We do not compare acidity, tablet weight, or ingredients whose amounts were not published. We never guess a missing amount. These checks do not replace a laboratory test or show government approval.
