Why the Supplement Facts Panel Matters
Every legitimate supplement sold in the United States is required to carry a Supplement Facts panel — a standardized label showing serving size, ingredient blends, and per-serving amounts, similar in format to the Nutrition Facts panel on packaged food. It's one of the clearest ways to know exactly what you're taking, and it's also one of the fastest ways to spot a counterfeit product, since unauthorized copies often get details on this panel wrong.
This page walks through how FemiCore's label is structured and what each section means, so you know what you're looking at when the bottle arrives. For exact current potency figures, always defer to the physical label on your bottle — formulations are periodically reviewed and refined, and the printed label reflects the most accurate, batch-specific information.
Think of this page as a translation guide to the label, not a replacement for it. The bottle in your hand is always the definitive source for exact amounts, lot number, and expiration date.
Serving Size & Directions for Use
FemiCore is designed around a simple, once-daily serving, taken with food. This isn't a case where more is better — the formula is dosed for consistent, sustainable daily use over the multi-month timeline that microbiome restoration research supports, not for a rapid or maximum-strength short course.
Exact capsule count per serving is printed on your bottle's label. Taking your dose at the same time each day, with food, is the single most effective way to maximize consistency — which matters more for a probiotic than the exact minute you take it.
The Two Blends on the Label
FemiCore's Supplement Facts panel is organized into two proprietary blends, matching the two functional categories described in full on the Ingredients page. This page focuses on how they're labeled, not what each strain does.
| Label Section | What's Included | Where to Find Exact Amounts |
|---|---|---|
| Probiotic Blend | 5 Lactobacillus strains (crispatus, acidophilus, plantarum, gasseri, casei) | Total CFU count listed on bottle label |
| Botanical Blend | Cranberry extract, bearberry (uva ursi), granular berberine, mimosa pudica | Per-ingredient mg amounts listed on bottle label |
Listing strains and extracts within named blends — rather than only a total combined weight — is a transparency choice: it tells you exactly which organisms and compounds are present, even in sections where individual potency is shown as part of a blend total.
Understanding CFU and Milligram Figures
Two different units show up on a probiotic label, and confusing them is a common mistake. Probiotic potency is measured in CFU — colony-forming units — a count of how many viable bacterial cells are present at the time of manufacture, not at the time you take the capsule months later. This is why storage conditions and expiration dates matter: CFU counts naturally decline over the shelf life of any probiotic product, which is also why FemiCore recommends storing bottles away from heat and direct sunlight.
Botanical ingredients, by contrast, are measured in milligrams (mg) — a straightforward weight measurement of the extract or compound included. For standardized extracts like cranberry, the label may also note a standardization percentage (for example, standardized for a specific active compound), which tells you the extract has been tested to guarantee a minimum potency of that compound, rather than just a raw powder weight of uncertain strength.
When comparing FemiCore to another product, matching units matters — a higher raw CFU or mg number on a competing label doesn't automatically mean a stronger or more effective product if the strains, standardization, or delivery method differ.
"Other Ingredients": What They're For
Below the active blends, every supplement label includes an "Other Ingredients" section — the non-active components needed to form and stabilize the capsule itself. These typically include a vegetable-based capsule shell, a small amount of anti-caking agent to keep the powder free-flowing during manufacturing, and a filler such as rice flour used to standardize capsule fill weight across batches.
None of these are included for effect — they exist purely to make a consistent, stable, swallowable capsule. If you have a specific sensitivity, the exact "Other Ingredients" list on your bottle is the authoritative source to check before use.
What FemiCore Is Formulated Without
Part of reading a label well is knowing what should be absent. FemiCore's formula is built without a list of common additives some other supplements rely on to cut cost or extend shelf life artificially:
- No artificial colors or dyes
- No artificial sweeteners
- No synthetic preservatives added purely for shelf stability
- No unnecessary fillers beyond what's needed for capsule structure
- Formulated without major common allergens where possible (verify against your specific label)
Always double-check your own bottle — allergen and additive information should be confirmed against the printed label on your specific order, not assumed from general marketing claims, especially if you have a diagnosed allergy or sensitivity.
Storage, Lot Numbers & Verifying Authenticity
FemiCore should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the cap tightly closed between uses — refrigeration isn't required. Keep it out of reach of children, as with any supplement.
The lot number and expiration date are printed on the bottom or side of the bottle. Beyond tracking freshness, this information is a useful authenticity check: if you purchased from a source other than the official site and the label is missing a lot number, has a mismatched font, or lacks an expiration date entirely, treat that as a warning sign. The Official Website page covers this in more depth if you're unsure where your bottle came from.
Label FAQ
FemiCore is formulated without wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Always check the specific lot's label for the most current allergen statement, as sourcing details can be confirmed there.
FemiCore uses a vegetable-based capsule shell rather than gelatin. Confirm current capsule material on your product label, as formulations can be updated over time.
Both are printed on the bottom or side of the bottle, typically stamped or printed near the base. This information is useful both for tracking freshness and for verifying authenticity if you did not purchase directly from the official site.
No. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap closed. Refrigeration is not required for stability.
Blend labeling is a standard, FDA-compliant supplement format that lists a combined total for a functional group of ingredients, while still naming every individual strain or extract included. Exact per-ingredient potency for your batch is available on request or noted where applicable on the label.
