How to read a supplement label

Guides

Start with the product name, ingredient list and serving information. Notice whether the amounts shown refer to one serving or the whole pack, and check how many servings the pack contains.

Read the allergen information, storage instructions, batch number and expiry date. If a detail is unclear or missing, ask the seller for the complete label before making a purchase.
