Understanding Your Supplement Container: Why It Looks Half Empty

Understanding Your Supplement Container: Why It Looks Half Empty

Many customers wonder why their supplement container appears half empty and feel like they received less than what they paid for. This is a common concern based on the visual aspect of the container. Here, we will teach you how to properly read our supplements, and any other powdered supplements you buy, to ensure you understand what you are receiving.

The Visual Aspect: Is My Container Half Empty?

The appearance of a half-empty container is just that—a visual aspect. What you need to focus on is the number of servings you purchased and the weight of the product. If the label states there are 30 servings, then there should be 30 servings inside the container.

How to Check the Amount

If you want to verify that you received what you paid for, count the number of servings inside the container.

Why Is the Scoop Size Different?

Each supplement has a different consistency and volume, depending on the ingredients. Therefore, the scoop size varies. Some ingredients are measured in milligrams, others in grams, based on dietary and supplement needs and formulations. This also affects the weight and volume of the container.

Ingredients Have Different Volumes

For example, collagen has a greater volume and density than other ingredients. This means that while you might get the same number of servings, the container and scoop size will be larger compared to other supplements.

Why Such a Big Container If It’s Only Half Full?

Brands need to standardize their production for different products. The same container, labels, and information might be used across different supplements regardless of their weight. This helps maintain consistency and streamline production. You will often see the same container used for various supplements, even if they weigh more or less.

Reading the Labels

The labels on each product provide a lot of information, and sometimes customers overlook this. Typically, there is a section where we explain that the product quantity is based on weight, not the size of the container. Another way to understand this is by comparing the weight of each product. For example:

  • Creatine: Has 30 servings but weighs more than the magnesium.
  • Collagen: Also has 30 servings but requires a bigger container and a larger scoop.

Example: Daily Recommended Dosages

For example, the daily recommended dose of creatine is 5 grams. If you were to take the same amount in magnesium, you would be consuming a dangerous amount of magnesium. Each ingredient has its own daily recommended dosage, and many of them are measured in milligrams.

Before Leaving a Review

We kindly ask that before leaving a negative review or comment based on this visual perception, take the time to understand this concept. Double-check the weight and portion size promised on the label. We appreciate and love our customers and maintain a very high standard in manufacturing. Our products are weighed during production and again before shipping.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
