How to Read a Product Label Before You Buy

A product label tells you a lot. Before you buy any herbal or wellness product, take a minute to check these details:

  • Composition: the list of ingredients and the amount in each dose.
  • Dosage: how much to take and when, as directed on the pack.
  • Precautions: storage advice and who should avoid the product.
  • Pack size: the number of capsules or tablets, or the weight or volume.
  • Manufacturer details and the expiry date.

If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition or take other medicines, speak to a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new product.
