Find Serving Size and Servings per Container
A powder may be sold as a one-month supply, but the exact scoop weight, number of servings and directions belong on its label. Compare those numbers with the seller's marketed 30-day jar.
Ingredient Amounts and Daily Values
FDA requires dietary supplement labels to show dietary ingredients and their amounts, with daily value information where applicable. For botanical extracts, pay attention to the plant part used and any standardization details if specified.
Marketing Names Are Not Dose Disclosures
A front label that says “advanced formula” or highlights zinc, vitamin D and root extracts does not tell you the exact amount of each ingredient. A complete Supplement Facts panel is a better starting point.
Look for Other Ingredients and Warnings
Flavorings, sweeteners, excipients and potential allergens may appear outside the active-ingredient list. Follow product warnings, check interactions and avoid assuming that dietary supplements have received FDA premarket approval.
Questions to Ask Before Ordering ProstaVive
- Is the exact scoop size listed?
- Are botanical amounts listed separately or as a blend?
- Are the displayed nutrients complete?
- Does your clinician know about all the medications and supplements you use?
- Do the return and shipping policies match the live checkout?
Understanding Regulatory Language
The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and efficacy before marketing. A claim that a product comes from a registered facility is not equivalent to FDA approval of the product itself.
