Dried organ weight on a label
A dried organ label states weight two ways and the difference matters. Most labels list milligrams of dried powder per serving. Some also mention a fresh weight the powder came from.
Dried weight is the product in the capsule
What you swallow is dried powder, so milligrams of dried organ per serving is the figure you can compare across products. How servings are stated is covered in organ supplement serving size.
Fresh weight notes need care
Drying removes most of the water, so a small dried amount can come from a larger fresh amount. A fresh weight note is background, not the serving itself. The drying step is explained in how organ supplements are made.
Capsules per serving changes the math
Two products can list the same total milligrams with different capsule counts. Powder and capsule forms are compared in organ supplement powder or capsules.
Compare like with like
Line up dried milligrams, capsules per serving and organs listed, in that order. That is the same order used in how to read an organ supplement label.
FAQ
What does dried organ weight mean on a label?
It is the milligrams of dried, powdered organ in one serving. That is the amount actually in the capsules.
Why do some labels mention fresh weight?
Drying removes water, so makers sometimes note the larger fresh amount the powder came from. The dried serving is still the comparable figure.
How do I compare two organ labels?
Compare dried milligrams per serving first, then capsules per serving, then which organs are listed and in what amounts.
