Prepared 15 September 2026

1. DAILY SERVING
Check whether an amount is per tablet, capsule, gummy or daily serving.
A 60-unit pack at two units per day lasts 30 days.

2. UNITS
Milligrams (mg) and micrograms (ug or mcg) are different.
For vitamin D ONLY: 1 microgram = 40 IU. Do not use this IU conversion for other vitamins.

3. INGREDIENTS
Read the full ingredient list and allergen information on the actual pack.

4. DIETARY SUITABILITY
Vegetarian does not mean vegan. Check the suitability statement and ask the manufacturer if unclear.

5. COST
Daily cost = (pack price + relevant delivery) / days per pack.
Check whether offers require multiple packs, subscriptions or membership.

6. DIRECTIONS AND CAUTIONS
Follow the stated dose. Ask a pharmacist or clinician about medication, medical conditions or whether a supplement is appropriate for you.

7. FACTS AND PROMISES
A higher amount, price or customer testimonial does not establish that a product is better for you.
