What does it mean when a vitamin supplement lists its DV% over 100%?
When you look at labels of vitamin supplements, you always see these high numbers, like say, 700% DV. Does it basically mean it is 7 times your needed amount? If so, then what is the point? Wouldn't the body expel the remaining amount once it goes over 100% anyway?
What is a good diet for high cholesterol and high blood pressure?

Is my brand of Glucosamine Sulfate all right?
Yes, I know, another Glucosamine question. Anyhow, I've been using GNC brand Glucosamine Sulfate for the past 1.5 weeks. However, in doing research online, I came across a page that says to avoid Glucosamine products that have 2KCL or 2NACL on the labels. Well, I looked at my GNC label, and it says .2KCL. Does this mean that I have a cheaper brand of Glucosamine Sulfate? Will it still work?
I thought GNC was a quality store, since they specialize in vitamins and supplements. But am I being ripped off?
By the way, on the label it says "Glucosamine Sulfate .2KCL" It doesn't say "Glucosamine 2KCL"
So am I getting the Glucosamine Sulfate (the best stuff), or am I getting the least effective form?
Are cheap vitamins and suppliments any good?
I take a multi vitamin and several suppliments like B-12, Calcium, Ginko Biloba, etc. I buy them at BigLots for - a bottle, they are not expired. Some are the name brand Sundown which I have seen at other drug stores and some are the name brand SoundBody. I've compared the labels and they seem to equal the more expensive brands, but do they?
Best time of day to take vitamin supplements?? AM or PM??
So I assume that take a daily vitamin is best for you at breakfast, because that is when everyone takes them.
However, recently I have started to take supplements for Hair, Skin, & Nails and I noticed it doesn't state what time of day to take them. The labels just say "daily"with a meal.
I would prefer to take it after dinner towards bed time, that is when my stomach and body rests.
Does it really matter?? I'm curious ...
How much vitamin B-12 should I take a day?!?
For a male, 5'7", 140lbs? I get very little nutritional value from food that I eat especially because I do not eat very often.
I bought a B-150 (150mcgs of B-12) complex but they had amounts up to 2000mcg of B-12?? Nothing on the labels were of any help. Thanks
How do you know if everything on multivitamin labels tell the truth?
I have purchased the GNC Mega Men multivitamin, and I did this because it looked like it had everything. Then I looked at it some more, and I was like how am I possible getting almost all my vitamin and mineral needs out of 2 caplets of this "vitamin." Now, I am not picking on GNC. The reason why I bought my vitamins from there was because they seemed like the most reputable company out there. Although, how do I know that what I am taking is actually what is says on the back of the label? What company would be the most likely not to lie on their multivitamin labels? I would really appreciate if somebody was willing to help me with this. Thank you.

why are vitamins so high in daily percent values?
taking my daily vitamins today,
I checked the nutritional facts to see how many the serving size suggests.
then I find out that one of my b12 vitamins is 16,337% of your daily value.
so I got curious and read other labels,
and some said 9,333% of your daily value,
or 6,442% of your daily value.
is that healthy? should I start buying less strong pills?

Check the labels. You want something that contains Vitamin K, kojic acid and licorice extract. Both are natural lighteners. Vitamin K heals damage and constricts the capillaries that are showing through the thin under you eye.
Look for a professional strength product. Dermal K Clarifying cream, for example, used to only be available through a dermatologist (see resources below).
Consider Vita-K Solution gel, Puritan's Pride Vitamin K cream or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue.
Compare prices and ingredients. Most Vitamin K products come in two ounce jars or tubes (see resources below).
Mix Vitamin K with a Vitamin A product. Apply a Vitamin A derivative such as retinol every other night. Scientists have found that combining the two is more effective at lightening dark
Ask your dermatologist for recommendations. She may be able to write you a prescription for a stronger Vitamin K cream.
