Values come from different source datasets (different laboratories, years and methods).
Content in the food is compared; absorption and bioavailability are not.
A nutrient shown as “not compared” has no usable value in one of the records (missing, trace or defined differently); it is never counted as zero.
Not medical advice; no recommended intakes are shown.
