Read a label in five steps

A small habit that makes a choice clearer.

Current product links go directly to the retailer; affiliate commission is not connected. About links ↗

1. Find serving size. 2. Check active ingredients and amounts. 3. Read other ingredients and allergens.

4. Read warnings. 5. Consider the supplements and medicines you already take.

Check the actual package before use: formulations can change. Natural origin does not guarantee safety.

Examples to compare

Composition examples, not an individual prescription.

Side by side

Compare the same ingredients and serving sizes. Extract weight, plant powder and active compound amounts are different measures. A larger number does not mean a better effect. Check the label for full ingredients and precautions.
