| Fill standardisation | Extract at NLT 50% or NLT 60% HCA by HPLC; 65% on request. Label the basis as HCA free acid, not total organic acid, which titration methods overstate. |

| Excipients | Microcrystalline cellulose, maize maltodextrin, colloidal silicon dioxide and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. Full quantitative formula issued with the first batch. |
| Allergen declaration | No milk, egg, soy, fish, crustacean, nut, peanut, sesame or gluten input; maltodextrin is maize-derived, not wheat. Lot-specific cross-contact statement ships with each batch. |
| Dietary and origin status | HPMC-shell capsules are vegan, vegetarian and non-GMO, free of bovine and porcine material. The gelatin-shell option is bovine and is neither vegan nor vegetarian. |
