AT A GLANCE
Ingredient amounts in Supplement Facts relate to the stated serving size. Check that before counting capsules.
Start with Serving Size at the top of the Supplement Facts panel. The ingredient amounts listed below it relate to that full serving, which may be one capsule or more.
For example, if a label lists a serving size of two capsules and 100 mg of an ingredient per serving, the two capsules together provide the stated 100 mg. The amount is not 100 mg in each capsule.
Keep these three details separate:
- Serving size: how many capsules or other units make one serving.
- Servings per container: how many full servings the bottle contains.
- Directions: how much to take and how often.
A strength on the front of the bottle is not, by itself, a daily-use instruction.
If the bottle and product page seem to disagree, send us both, along with the lot number. Include the full Supplement Facts panel and directions so the serving basis can be checked before you change the amount you take.
