Reading a Supplement Label

A label can tell you a lot in under a minute if you know where to look.

Five things to check

1. Serving size. HoneyPower's is two capsules.
2. Servings per container. Here it is 30.
3. Each ingredient and its amount. Look for milligrams next to every name.
4. Extract details. Ratios and standardization show how concentrated an ingredient is.
5. Other ingredients. Check fillers and capsule material.

The blend problem

Some products list a single combined blend weight. That makes it hard to know how much of each ingredient you get. HoneyPower prints all seven amounts instead.
