Serving size two capsules. Servings per container thirty. A dagger in the right-hand column means no Daily Value exists for that substance.

Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), brown rice flour.

Nine rows, nine numbers. Two of those rows are vitamins with an official Daily Value beside them; the remaining seven are botanicals and a mineral, and each carries a dagger instead.

What is absent from that block is a single grouped total. No line on this panel reads “proprietary blend” followed by one figure covering several plants at once, which is the arrangement that makes most labels in this category impossible to audit. Here a reader can take any one row and go looking for the trial that used that amount.

That is the whole argument for publishing the panel on a page of its own rather than summarising it. The bottle is specific, so the website can afford to be, and the ingredients page takes each row in turn and sets it beside the research it borrows its reputation from.

Arithmetic from the serving size and the container count, both printed on the panel above.

The figure worth internalising is that one bottle is one month. Every price on the pricing page and every span on the timeline page is built on that single conversion, and it holds only if both capsules are taken on the same day.

Halving the dose to stretch a bottle across two months does not produce a gentler version of the panel. It produces a panel with every amount halved, which is a different product from the one the label describes and one nobody has studied.

The label wording is exact and worth quoting in full: “As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily. For best results, take with 6-8 oz of water or as directed by a healthcare professional.” That last clause is the label handing the decision to a clinician for anyone who has one involved.

Beneath the nine active rows the label prints two inactive ingredients: gelatin (capsule) and brown rice flour. Two entries is a short list by the standards of a capsule, and both are ordinary.

Gelatin is the shell itself. It is animal-derived, which settles a question some buyers need settled before anything else on the panel matters: these capsules are outside a vegetarian or vegan diet. That is a straightforward fact about the container rather than a criticism of the contents, and the testing and quality page is where the seal wall gets audited against it.

Brown rice flour is the flow agent and bulking filler that lets a capsule machine fill sixty shells to the same weight. It contributes nothing to the three claims on the front of the bottle and is not asked to.

What is not on this line is as informative as what is. There is no titanium dioxide, no magnesium stearate, no artificial colour and no sweetener, because a capsule has nothing to make palatable. Anyone comparing this with a gummy is comparing two ingredient lists of very different lengths.

Only two rows carry a percentage, and both are vitamins with an established Daily Value. Vitamin E reads 25 mg at 167%. Vitamin B6 reads 13.8 mg at 812%.

Seven of the nine rows end in a dagger rather than a percentage: Saw Palmetto Extract, Pygeum africanum Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Pumpkin Seed Extract, Nettle Extract, Boron and Lycopene 5%.

The footnote underneath explains it in the standard wording: no Daily Value has been established. For the six botanicals that is because no regulator has set a reference intake for a plant extract, and none is likely to. Boron is the interesting case, because a dagger there means something slightly different.

Boron has no established human requirement, so there is nothing for a Daily Value to be a percentage of. It does have a ceiling. The Institute of Medicine's micronutrient panel put the adult ceiling at 20 mg a day, derived from reproductive and developmental toxicity, which makes the 10 mg on this label half of that allowance from one product before anything else in a cupboard is counted.

So the dagger is a labelling convention rather than a verdict. It says a reference intake does not exist for that substance. It says nothing at all about whether the amount beside it is a sensible one, which is a separate question that the ingredients page takes row by row.
