Supplement Facts
The regulated nutrition panel on a supplement - every value on it must be backed by testing.
The Supplement Facts panel is the regulated box that declares serving size, ingredients, and amounts on a dietary supplement (the supplement equivalent of a Nutrition Facts panel). It's a legal declaration, not marketing copy.
Every number on it must be backed by analytical testing - potency assays for actives, ICP-OES for minerals, and so on. If your label says 500 mg and the product contains 350 mg, you're misbranded under federal law and exposed to class-action suits.
