How to decode a
Supplement Facts Panel
Marketing can lie but the supplement facts panel can’t.
Use this guide to examine the Source, Dose, Form™ of the supplement you’re considering.
SOURCE
Where are your ingredients from?
Undisclosed origin is an indicator it may be a commodity ingredient from an unknown source. These may be adulterated, containing different plant species or unwanted additives.
Ours are 100% traceable and unadulterated. Independently tested for identity, heavy metals, pesticides, and more.
DOSE
How potent is your formula?
If the actives aren’t listed on the panel, there is no guarantee the supplement contains functional levels.
We are transparent with our ingredient levels and use human clinical studies, traditional usage, and FDA recommended levels to inform functional doses.
FORM
Can your body put them to use?
Bioactive vitamin forms are listed after the name in the supplement facts panel. Our actives are bioavailable (ensures absorption) and bioactive (easily assimilated).
Look at “other ingredients” – these can impact efficacy. Beware of Magnesium Stearate, a flow agent that can negatively affect bioavailability.

SOURCE
Where are your ingredients from?
Undisclosed origin is an indicator it may be a commodity ingredient from an unknown source. These may be adulterated, containing different plant species or unwanted additives.
Ours are 100% traceable and unadulterated. Independently tested for identity, heavy metals, pesticides, and more.
If a vitamin is naturally derived, the source plant species will be listed here. Look for organic.
Other sourcing information should be listed on the product page. Undisclosed ingredient origin is an indicator of a commodity ingredient.
DOSE
How potent is your formula?
If the actives aren’t listed on the panel, there is no guarantee the supplement contains functional levels.
We are transparent with our ingredient levels and use human clinical studies to determine functional doses.
Look for chelated minerals (bound to an amino acid) to maximize bioavailability. The mineral name will be followed by the amino acid name. When a mineral is chelated, it doesn’t compete with other minerals for absorption and is easier on your gut.
Ask for a breakdown of the proprietary blend to see if the levels are functional.
FORM
The vitamin forms are listed in parentheses. Check to see if it’s the most bioactive.
This is a standardized extract, which means that it shows the levels of bioactives present in the plant material.
OTHER
Capsule ingredients, flow agents, other additives. Watch out for:
Magnesium Stearate: flow agent that can affect bioavailability.
Modified food starch can indicate GMO
Shellacs (e.g. pharmaceutical glaze), binders (e.g. corn starch), and coatings can affect bioavailability and can be GMO.
