Quiet Tone Supplement Facts: 5 Steps to Read the Label

Step 1: Where do you start on a supplement facts panel?

Start at the top, with the serving size and the servings per container. On Quiet Tone the serving is one capsule and the bottle holds 30 servings. Every amount below that line is the amount in one capsule, not in the whole bottle.

This matters because some labels set a serving at more than one capsule. A table that looks generous can shrink once you count the capsules. Here one capsule, once a day, is the whole routine.

Step 2: How do you read the amount and the percent Daily Value?

The first column is the weight. The second is the percent Daily Value, which compares the amount with a reference intake. A line of 100% means a full day's reference amount. Higher is not always better, and 500% of a B vitamin is one of the cheapest numbers to print.

Amounts and percentages are as printed on the label.

If you already take a multivitamin, these nine rows will overlap with it. Doubling up adds cost rather than coverage, and the three minerals compete for the same absorption routes.

Step 3: What does the word in brackets tell you?

Minerals never arrive as the bare element. The word in brackets names the form. Here that is calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide and zinc oxide. The weight printed is the mineral itself, not the weight of the salt, so 12.5 mg of zinc really is 12.5 mg of zinc.

What the salt changes is how much your body takes up. A stable-isotope study put zinc oxide at 49.9% absorbed against 61.3% for zinc citrate. Magnesium oxide is described on this site as the least absorbed of the common magnesium sources. Oxide and carbonate are the budget forms, which is not a fault, but it is a clue about where the formulation budget went.

Step 4: What is different about the blend line?

The tenth row is a proprietary blend of 415.5 mg with two asterisks, which point to the note 'Daily Value (DV) not established'. Under it, 18 names are listed with their Latin names and plant parts. One weight covers all of them.

US rules let a maker print the total of a blend rather than each member, as long as members appear in descending order by weight. That is why rhodiola comes first and 5-HTP last. It tells you the first names are larger than the last ones. It does not tell you by how much, and Quiet Tone does not publish it.

• Chamomile was trialled at 1,500 mg a day in an anxiety study, which is more than three times the whole blend.
• Ashwagandha was used at 600 mg a day in a 1,002-adult safety trial.
• Bacopa's working-memory benefit was placed at 600 mg a day and above.
• L-theanine reviews cover 200 to 400 mg a day, and the GABA capsules in one study held 100 mg.

Those are single-ingredient trial doses. Several of those doses exceed the entire blend by themselves. So if you want a particular plant at its studied dose, a single-ingredient product would give you more of it.

Step 5: What do the lines under the panel add?

Look at the other-ingredients line, the suggested use, the storage line and the caution. They are part of the label too.

• Other ingredients: hypromellose (vegetable capsule), magnesium stearate (vegetable), silicon dioxide. The first is the shell.
• Suggested use: one capsule daily with an 8 oz glass of water, 20-30 minutes before a meal for best results.
• Storage: a cool, dry place away from heat and light.
• Caution: do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
• The FDA disclaimer: these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Is Quiet Tone just a quiet multivitamin?

Some searchers ask whether this is a 'quiet multivitamin'. The top half of the panel looks a little like a small B-complex plus three minerals. A multivitamin usually covers far more nutrients. The bottom half, the 18-name blend, is what sets it apart.

So it is closer to a B-vitamin and mineral base with a plant and amino acid blend on top. That is a description of the panel, not a promise about any effect.

Frequently asked questions

Our view

The top half of this panel is honest and easy to check. The bottom half is legal but opaque. A reader can do real arithmetic on the nine printed rows and almost none on the blend.

Our advice is to read the panel the same way you would read any other: serving first, amounts second, brackets third, blend last. If a number cannot be checked, treat the claim attached to it as unproven. That rule works on this bottle and on every other.

A short reminder. The FDA does not approve supplements, so Quiet Tone is not FDA approved. This page is general information, and nothing on it has been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Medical questions belong with your doctor.
