1 Separable lean tissue includes all lean muscle and organ tissue. 2 At least one of the composite values used to calculate the mean was below the limit of detection for the corresponding nutrient. 3 A single dash indicates that manganese was below the limit of detection (limit of detection: 0.20 mcg/g).
