Special Formula

The other subcategories group products by nutrient family, such as vitamins, minerals or omegas, or by a shared ingredient group. Special Formula holds single ingredients and formulas that fit none of these, so the quickest way to find a product is to search for its ingredient name, which the product title and the ingredient list both state.

Bring the amounts to one unit per daily serving. Capsules and tablets give milligrams per unit and the number of units in a serving, while powders give grams per scoop or teaspoon, and a gram is a thousand milligrams. An extract label also names the plant part and may state a ratio or the share of a named compound, which you can compare between extracts.

EU food supplement labels state the recommended daily serving, a warning not to exceed it, a statement that supplements should not replace a varied diet, and a note to keep them out of the reach of young children. Some specialist ingredients carry extra statements, so read the label of the exact product and follow it.
