That it is perfectly normal for good companies to employ a contract manufacturer rather than doing manufacturing themselves. A company that does this needs to at least have the resources and willingness to monitor its contract manufacturer and the quality of its products, and that’s hard to do when the company is just one or two people. Unclear Ingredients Or Product SpecificationsIf you’re buying a dietary supplement, the product description should say how many milligrams of each ingredient it has, and how many milligrams–or what percentage–of the active ingredient that equates to. For instance, if you’re buying rhodiola rosea, the nutrition label should say not only how much rhodiola rosea it contains, but also what percentage rosavins and salidrosides it contains, because these are, effectively, the active ingredients in rhodiola rosea.

A screen protector should say what the length, width and diagonal dimensions are, and which devices it will fit. Blue-blocking glasses should give some idea of how dark they are, and whether they’re
