I just recieved this. Was hoping it would provide some nutritional fact for those that take supplements? Also what amount is equal to 500 mg?

Hello,There are very little nutrional facts listed on the packaging, but you can find a ton of facts just by Google searching maca root. 100mgs is equivalent to 1 gram. So if you have a scale measure out 5 grams which equals to 500mgs.Hope this helps...

i am not sure how much powder equals 500mg, but i went to bing.com and researched the side effects of maca powder and found several warnings. i did this because after adding about a tablespoon to my daily smoothie, i found unpleasant mood shifts, causing me to get upset and angry quickly. i stopped taking it and the mood swings stopped. i threw the rest out. i suggest getting the asai powder (much cheaper than the frozen packs) the maqui powder, flax powder and hemp powder, all available organically.

sorry i do not know that. I use 1 teaspoon in my smoothie which is 1 serving. but like i said eating Maca raw will make you have horrible indigestion. If you are going to cook it then it is fine. Otherwise i would suggest you return it and get the gelatinize maca powder. I just did.

Not sure what supplements you are taking but there is a lot of information on the net about this amazing root . 1 teaspoon is the equivalent if 3000 mg. I am currently taking this dose and it has been working well for me, but I feel I might have to jump it up a little. I have been taking it now for almost 3 months. There are days I skip taking it an I do feel the difference. Just yesterday I blended it with 2 teaspoons of raw honey and it was delicious. Normally I add it to smoothies or yogurt . Hope this helps.

When I googled Maca root there was a posting that said to start of slowly then increase the dosage as you see fit. I would start of with a tsp then see how you respond too it. I think 500 mg is a bit too much since this is your first time taking it. Hope this helps. Awesome product and would definitely recommend it.

I don't know. That frustrates me as well. The "SUPPLEMENT FACTS" listed on the back of the bottle read. . . "Serving Size: 1 Capsule" and "DIM - 200mg". That is all except for the "OTHER INGREDIENTS", which are pretty typical for capsule composition. . . "rice flour, gelatin capsule, magnesium stearate." On the front of the bottle, it reads, "DIM - diinodolyl methane - 200mg - 60 capsules". Before I ordered for the first time, I actually called the company to ask basically the same question. The man I spoke to assured me that this product is strictly DIM, not a complex. He also reminded me, which I suppose I should reinforce here, that DIM is a fat-soluble supplement. So it should always be taken with a meal or at least with another supplement that includes a source of fat. Examples of such would be the vitamin k2 supplement that I take with it, which contains organic olive oil, or the multivitamin chew that I take with it, which contains 0.5g fat. ;)

On the back of the package is a large list (maybe it's visible on amazon photos) of the vitamins and minerals and amounts that are in the "AM" envelope and in the "PM" envelope---25 different supplements with how many milligrams in the AM packet and how many in the PM packet, b/c for instance, strontium should not be taken with calcium, so the 1,000 mg. are in the AM packet, not in the PM packet which has the calcium...

It seems like the nutrition information printed on this product's label is completely off -- for example, my label says that a 13-gram serving of the powder contains 225 grams of cholesterol, which makes no sense (it doesn't even make sense if you change the grams to mg).However, I would have no reason to believe that this powder is nutritionally any different from regular whole milk, if diluted properly.

I actually 2nd this question...because I use a multivitamin, and don't want to overdose on Vitamins A, D, or E which this supplement includes.

Offered supplements should be required to show ingredients but many don't. Some "show" it but deliberately blur the list and don't provide a magnifier thereby making it impossible to read. Its ODD! I would never buy a supplement without knowing what's in it! The only way is to look it up elsewhere and hope to find same or better price to reward sites that disclose all the information!

1 MG is = to 1000 mcgs. My doctor recommended 250 mcgs or 1/4 of this per day for supplements. It is because I have a form of B-12 anemia. Many people take this for energy and it is water soluble so it won't build up in your system. However it can irritate your bladder if you don't drink enough water with it. You may also need to eat more protein and it may increase your appetite.

By reading the label, it says each capsule has 200 mg magnesium. Otherwise I would contact the company for an in depth analysis. They're the ones who manufacture it!

Both are true statements. Each capsule is 500 mg, and you can take up to six capsules a day for a total daily dose of 3000 mg. I like having the 500 mg capsules because I can spread them out throughout the day--I take 2 in the morning for a good start, but I'm not that hungry and lunch so I often don't take them until dinner, when I take 2 more. Then in the evening I'll take 1 or 2 to help curb my cravings at night. And even at the 3000 mg a day I have a month's supply. It's a lot better deal than most other brands I looked at--and it works!

I bought the 250 g pack. With this you'll get around 700 servings (350 mg per serving), but if you take only 250 mg a day (a recommended dosage for an adult) you'll of course get 1,000. And save a lot of money by making your own capsules (taken straight, magnesium tastes awful)-

Not sure what you mean by item weight, you perhaps mean 'strength'. It is 500 mg caps. This is a vit. supplement that works great, in re: those that have Mg deficiency, or dehydration, muscle cramps, and such. Talk to your MD first if you have any concerns on this supplement.

I will post pictures of the label...which is very complete. Very satisfied with this source. My B12 levels now above 1,000 pg/ml, up from less than 200.

There are closeups of the nutrition label on this page, but if you can't see them, it says 690mg per serving (one package)

Provides 300 mg of Omega-3per soft jell. This is what is on the side of the bottle. My Dr. told me to take 1 a day. The direction on bottle reads 3a day preferable with a meal. Other than this I don't know. I have been taking this product for awhile. It hasn't kill me yet. My bad health is fromother problem. Have a good day.

The most recent container I have which is only a few months old clearly states it has only 1mg Manganese (as Manganese Ascorbate) per serving and serving size is 3 capsules. Also stated is that the 1mg is 50% of daily requirement. So at 10 mg per capsule a 3 capsule serving would be 30mg! That would be 15x the recommended daily requirement and yes, overdosing! Possibly something may be wrong with the label? Or the supplement? Either way, it would be ideal to contact the seller and Nutramax Laboratories and question/report it. I've been buying this product and other's manufactured by Nutramax Laboratories for years for myself and patients and have never had a problem. Last thing to check is units. Make sure they are not using micrograms vs mg units before reporting. Some companies will utilize different units when changing labeling. Hope I was helpful. Good luck!

According to the package there are 113 "slightly rounded" 1/2 tsp servings in a 250g bag. I take a level 1/2 tsp per day so perhaps that will provide you with a fairly accurate way to guess at the servings per container :-). Because I don't like the taste of product, I fill size 0 capsules and take it that way. I can tell you for sure that there is almost exactly a quarter teaspoon of magnesium powder in each capsule. I was surprised at that. Even with the added cost of the capsules....approx 8 mils each...in my opinion it's absolutely the best way to take the stuff....less hassle, easy to take along on trips, no taste. Hope this helped.

Product contains 624mg of glucosamine. I'd hold off on any extra at first and see how it goes. Effect of supplement is apparent in a matter of days.
