Kimmi: What needs checking on the 500-tablet pack?

Jase: The serving figures do. The directions say six tablets equal 3g, the panel is based on 3.7g, and another line calls 18 tablets 523mg. Those figures do not agree, so the current label should decide the dose.

The panel lists iron, vitamin B12, vitamin K and other nutrients, but it does not establish energy, performance or recovery results. Vitamin K can interact with warfarin and related anticoagulants. Check suitability with a health professional if you have an algae allergy, autoimmune condition, phenylketonuria, a medical condition or prescribed medicines. Children should use it only with adult supervision.

The product is listed as vegan with no added dairy, soy, gluten or wheat. Its sugarcane-plastic container is described as kerbside recyclable.

Adults: 6 tabs (3g) daily.
