What does the net quantity on a dietary supplement label indicate?

• A. Amount of product in the package
• B. Manufacturer address
• C. Serving size
• D. List of ingredients

Answer: (A)

Net quantity shows the total amount of product in the package. It tells you how much product you’re getting in the whole container, expressed as weight, volume, or count (for example, 60 capsules or 120 mL). This is different from serving size, which indicates how much to take at one time, and from the number of servings per container, which tells you how many servings are in the package. It’s also separate from the list of ingredients, which lists what the product contains. Knowing the net quantity helps you compare package sizes and overall value.
