—- Here the daily values – the amount of nutrients recommended per day for Americans 4 years and older are .3 mg (300 Micrograms)
.03 and .3 mg. The NIH feels there is insufficient evidence to recommend RDA, so they went with Adequate Intake at .03 mg (30 Micrograms). If this stuff is interesting to you, I can talk about this in my videos. Just let me know. I thought it might not interest you, so I saved for the description.
My Trader Joe’s supplement (that I never take) apparently is only slightly higher than the daily recommended value. Though, according to the alert, some supplements have upward of 20mg.
