% daily requirement

Hi Everyone!

Why do many dietary supplements have more than 100% daily value (DV) of a certain ingredient? For instance, I bought a calcium-magnesium supplement which contains 250% DV magnesium.

Why do they have so much of the ingredient? The supplement also contains 1000% DV of calcium. 10 times the daily value!

Why so much?

Thanks.

that goes to show you how much actually absorbs. our bodies waste a lot of that regardless

A great deal of your food also does. Ever eaten a big juicy steak? Ever? Right there you ate all your daily requirements for protein. And I bet you didn't eat anything else all day long right... da fuck you did.
