Quick answer
Check five things: serving size, the amount and % Daily Value of each ingredient, any proprietary blend, the "other ingredients" list and the warnings. Then confirm who distributes the product.
Step 1: serving size
SodaPeak: 1 gummy; 30 servings per container.
Step 2: amounts and % Daily Value
Nutrients like sugar list a % Daily Value. Botanicals usually don't have one, marked with "†".
Step 3: proprietary blends
A blend lists a total weight (SodaPeak: 82 mg) but not each ingredient's amount. Learn more in proprietary blends explained.
Step 4: other ingredients
Sweeteners, gelling agents and flavors. SodaPeak uses pectin, not gelatin; see is SodaPeak vegan?.
Step 5: warnings and distributor
Read warnings carefully and check the company name and address. The FDA explains what supplement labels must include and that supplements aren't approved before sale.
