What is the Product Name and Brand Name?

Supplement Label
The first step is to write down the product name and brand name of the supplement on the first line, "Name (including brand)".

For example, the product name on the label of fish oil simply says "Fish Oil". So you would write this down.

The brand name is "Spectrum Essentials". Write this down next to the product name "Fish Oil".

If the company lists a website name on the bottle, write that down as well. Your health care provider may have additional questions after looking at your supplement diary, and knowing the website can help him or her find information quickly.
