How to read a supplement facts label
Look for the serving size, amounts of each listed dietary ingredient, other ingredients, allergen warnings, maker or distributor and instructions. For probiotics, strain names and labeled colony-forming units are particularly important.
Common marketing terms
| Label or claim | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| GMP | Manufacturing compliance claim. Request credible documentation; it does not prove effectiveness. |
| FDA registered facility | Not equivalent to FDA approval of the supplement. |
| Clinically researched | Could mean only individual ingredients were studied. |
| 3.5 billion CFU | A count without strain/dose details is insufficient for outcome claims. |
