The Supplement Facts panel is the one part of a bottle that is regulated, so it is where the truth sits. Start at the top with serving size and servings per container.
Next, read the amounts. You want a number in milligrams or micrograms next to each ingredient. If several are grouped under "proprietary blend", you only see the total, and the label does not tell you how much of each is inside.
Look for the form of the ingredient. "Lion's mane extract, 10:1" and "lion's mane powder" are different things. Standardised extracts tell you how much active compound to expect.
Check the "other ingredients" line for allergens, sweeteners and preservatives, especially in liquids.
For Cognicept, a photo of the panel is exactly what to request from the seller before you order. If you cannot see one, treat the ingredient list you have read as unconfirmed.
