Recognised by the dose reference but not scored: Biotin (no established dose outside diagnosed deficiency); Sodium (replacement need is individual); Niacinamide (the published dose comes from studies in people with a diagnosed condition, so it is not a threshold for anyone else).

Dose integrity is not part of the energy drink score; this audit is shown for reference.

Coverage: 2 of 6 dosed actives on this label matched the dose reference (blend headers, sub-totals, footnote rows and weighed excipients are not counted).

“No amount” means the record carries no figure for that row: the label prints none (an ingredient-list entry or a blend member), prints it in another form such as a percentage, or only one reading recorded one.
