Capsules and tablets

By Dwight Davis, Founder

Updated

On this page6
A dietary supplement needs child-resistant packaging at 250 mg or more of elemental iron in a single package, together with a concentration test. The mass is per package, so the number of capsules in the bottle decides it, and a size chosen for merchandising can move the product in or out of the requirement.
