Start at the top

The Supplement Facts panel is the best place to start. It tells you the serving size, servings per container, listed dietary ingredients, amounts per serving, and daily value information when a daily value exists.

Serving size matters

Every amount on the panel is tied to the serving size. If the serving size is two capsules, the listed amounts are for two capsules, not one.

Other ingredients matter too

Other ingredients can include capsule materials, sweeteners, flavors, colors, oils, stabilizers, or processing ingredients. They are part of the finished product, even when they are not the featured ingredient.

Warnings are not decoration

Read warning language before buying, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking medication, managing a health condition, or shopping for a child.
