What purified means on this panel

Dose

Adults 19 years and over, one capsule twice a day. That is 500 mg a day and 60 days from the bottle.

Questions

Is this a 500 mg capsule?

No. The capsule is 250 mg and the licensed daily amount is 500 mg, reached by taking two.

Where does the fulvic acid figure come from?

The licence itself, which records the potency as 50% fulvic acid against the 250 mg of shilajit. The figure is set on the record rather than chosen for the label.

Are there conditions that rule it out entirely?

The record lists one contra-indication: it should not be given in uric acid calculus. It also says to consult a health care practitioner before use if you have diabetes or take medication that regulates blood sugar levels.
