Label Claim
The amount entered will appear on the Formula screen in the Label Claim field, listed in the unit selected by the user. Components will also be listed in the ingredient unit, except label nutrient components will be listed in the unit required for the Supplement Label. Adjust ingredient and component amounts in the Label Claim field, as needed. Keep in mind that components are used differently, depending on the type of ingredient.
Percent Overage
Enter the percent overage. Ingredient potency degrades over time. The overage percentage can allow the desired potency to maintain label claim accuracy over the shelf life of the product. Genesis offers two calculation methods to help you determine percent overage.
Moisture Loss Percent
This field lists the moisture loss that was entered on the Ingredient screen. In the calculation of the amount per serving, the program assumes that all moisture is removed from the product (ie: a hard tablet).
Amount Per Serving
This field lists the weight of one serving of the formula. The overage and moisture loss are considered in this calculation.
Unit Weight
This column on your Formula screen shows the weight of a single unit (scoop, tablet, capsule, etc.). It can be shown on the formula screen when the serving size is greater than one. For example, if the serving size is 2 tablets, the Unit Weight column will show the weight of one tablet. If the serving size is 1 tablet, the Unit Weight column is not shown because it offers the same information as the serving size.
Percent Formula
This field lists the percent that each ingredient contributes to the whole formula.
Formula Cost
This field lists the cost of the ingredient in the formula per designated unit (selected from the ribbon). The cost is calculated from the ingredient cost that was entered on the Ingredient screen and the percent ingredient in the formula.
Batch Weight
This field lists the total weight of the formula, in micrograms, milligrams, grams, or kilograms, based on the amount per serving, servings per container, and number of containers.
Batch Cost
This field lists the total cost of the formula ingredients.
User Code
This is the ingredient user code from the Ingredient screen.
Chemical Impurities
Chemical Impurities that have been entered for the ingredients will be displayed on the Formula Screen. When the totals exceed recommended thresholds, they will appear in red at the bottom of the Formula screen.
Mandatory or voluntary label nutrients
For components that describe mandatory or voluntary label nutrients, the component amount should reflect the desired label amount. When the component amount is adjusted, the ingredient amount will change appropriately.
Herbals and other nutrients or compounds
For herbals and other nutrients or compounds, the component amount can be adjusted, if desired, which will affect the ingredient amount. The program allows these components to be listed in parentheses next to the ingredient on the label, if desired.
