How to Read a Supplement Label

Serving sizes, ingredient amounts, blends, warnings, and manufacturer details.

Important: This page does not diagnose, treat, recommend, or endorse any supplement. It explains how to evaluate claims and discuss them with a qualified healthcare professional.

Find the serving size

All amounts are tied to the serving size, not necessarily one capsule. Compare the suggested use with the amount per serving.

Read every active amount

Look for transparent amounts rather than a single total for a blend. Check units carefully: micrograms, milligrams, and grams are not interchangeable.

Identify the exact ingredient

Botanicals should name the species, plant part, extract ratio, and standardization when relevant.

Do not skip the warnings

Review allergens, medication warnings, age restrictions, pregnancy guidance, and storage instructions.
