Ali, there is not enough info on this product to enter into PDD Beta. The serving size is not clear.

Thank you Frank I've done that (I think) but it's showing a really high value for vitamin e and I'm sure it can't be correct. See below

Hi Ali. There is nothing wrong with your recipe. The Vitamin E was entered correctly. I am attaching a test recipe showing Solgar Vitamin E. Look at the graph at the right. I am hovering the mouse over the Vitamin E bar. Here you can see that the recommended allowance for Spot is 9.3 mg, but the serving size gives 99.7 mg, which is more than 10x (1000+ %) the needed amount. So you would have to lower the dosage for George.

Thanks Frank, I'd got myself mixed up with that one. Fortunately I've not yet started using it for George . I'm still a little bit confused though as when you enter it in the recipe the drop down says 0.5 ml but the entry say 1ml, does it mean 1 x 0.5 ml and is there a clearer way of showing it?

Hi Ali. The drop down is showing the original amounts entered for the food/supplement. So even though it shows 0.5 you only need to know that it is in milliliters. So ignore the 0.5 because it really depends on the amount you enter in the ingredient list. For the new products it will just show the unit of measure (millilitres, grams, ounces, etc).

Having said that, you would be better off using a combination of eggs and cod liver oil to meet your Vitamin D targets.

That may be true but the blighters won't touch cod liver oil or eggs

. Just to confirm then if I enter one it will be one mg? (not that I would enter 1).

If you enter 1 in the ingredient list and the unit of measure is millilitres, then you are entering 1 ml.
