Understanding a Supplement Facts label is critical for knowing exactly what you are putting into your body. The FDA requires specific information to be displayed on these labels.
Decoding the Label
Start by checking the serving size and servings per container. Next, look at the list of dietary ingredients and their corresponding amounts per serving. Pay attention to the Percent Daily Value (%DV), which tells you how much of a nutrient one serving provides in the context of a 2,000-calorie daily diet.
