How much is one serving?
One serving can be several gummies or capsules. The Supplement Facts panel tells you how many, along with the ingredient amount in that serving.
A quick label example
60 gummies ÷ 3 per serving = 20 servings
This is an example of reading a label, not advice on how much to take. The manufacturer’s serving size is not a personal dose recommendation.

Read the other ingredients
The front of the bottle won’t tell you everything. Check the full label for:
- The amount of each ingredient in a full serving.
- Gelatin, flavors and sweeteners in the Other Ingredients list.
- Proprietary blends that list a combined amount without each ingredient’s share.

What does % Daily Value mean?
Percent Daily Value compares the amount in one serving with the daily amount used for labeling. A higher percentage doesn’t mean a better product.
Some ingredients have no established Daily Value. A missing percentage doesn’t tell you whether you need the ingredient or whether it works. Ask the manufacturer about any label detail that’s unclear.
