How to read a supplement label in 60 seconds
Serving size, amount per serving, blends and allergens: the four things to check before you buy any tub.
A label tells you far more than the front of the tub. Here is the quick routine our team uses whenever we look at a new product.
- Check the serving size first. Every other number depends on it.
- Look for exact amounts. A "blend" with one total weight hides how much of each ingredient you get.
- Read the full ingredient list, which runs from largest to smallest amount.
- Find the allergen statement and the batch number.
