  "methodology": "Labels were enumerated from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database by paging its search for men's multivitamin terms and keeping labels whose name says men, male or him and whose panel carries B12, folate or vitamin D; women's, prenatal and children's labels were excluded. Iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, B12 and D are the Supplement Facts rows for the panel serving; rows declared only in IU are not converted and count as undeclared. Folate and B12 forms are read from the panel rows, declared forms and the ingredient statement; lycopene and saw palmetto from any row or ingredient; USP and NSF from printed statements. Every figure was recomputed in two halves split by label-id parity; figures that did not agree within 8 points (shares) or 25% (medians) are not published.",
