1Ingredients with overages of 0–10% are not included in Tables 13. The list of ingredients statistically evaluated by regression varied by product category (7). “n/Total n” indicates the number of products predicted to have ingredient amounts below the label value divided by the total number of the products in the DS category for each NHANES cycle (within the DSID regression ranges); “w/ W” indicates n/total n converted to weighted frequency with NHANES weights: the market share of products predicted to have ingredient levels below the label divided by the total market share of products in the DS category containing each ingredient per NHANES cycle (within the DSID regression ranges). DS, dietary supplement; DSID, Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database; MVM, multivitamin-mineral; MVM-1, first MVM study; MVM-2, second MVM study.
