Question
if i have a product with 10 ingredients.....one of which is licorice and the amount is 10percent.............how can i find outhow much that is in milligrams?
it also says 6 grams (20 pills)
any idea?
Do you mean that 6g is one dose?
Assuming there is no filler or inactive ingredient that is used (which is hard to know without knowing the company.) This is the problem. Often honey or an inactive binding agent is used to make the pills.
You can call the company and ask them, or ask your acupuncturist who recommended the pill. If there is no filler, then it is simple to figure out, 60mg (10% of 6grams).
Best,
Joe
