Hello, I take a woman’s over 50+ multiple vitamin from The Vitamin Shoppe online. Bottle tells me to take 3 tablets a day. Now that I am using MFP I am noticing the software total is off the charts high listing the Vitamin A total only for this vitamin at 7500%. This is the total when I ONLY take ONE TABLET and have no other items on my daily log for MFP.

The bottle says for vitamin A the following: 1500 mg RAE (5000 IU) % Daily value 170% (as 50% beta carotene and 50% retinyl palmitate).

Is this correct or is there a problem with how MFP records this product?

Thanks for your help and advice.

    The database is crowdsourced so entries can have errors. Always believe the label/ package over what the entry in MFP says.
