Vitamins: Nutrition Facts and Calories

This category features a variety of packaged vitamin and mineral supplements, designed to complement a balanced diet. Products range from single vitamins like Vitamin D to comprehensive multivitamins and specialized blends, often available in forms such as pills, capsules, gummies, or liquids. When selecting a vitamin product, it's helpful to review the Supplement Facts label. This panel lists the specific nutrients and their amounts per serving, often expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value. Pay attention to the “Other Ingredients” section, which details inactive components. Some vitamin products, especially chewable or gummy forms, may contain added sugars. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming no amount of added sugars. While not common, some products might also contain sodium; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. Saturated fat, though rarely a primary concern for vitamins, should be kept under 10% of daily calories according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Understanding these label details helps consumers make informed choices. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
