Percent Overage Calculations

To maintain label claim consistency, you must account for potency loss over time. Genesis R&D offers two methods for evaluating your estimated potency loss. Both methods assume that you know the overage percentage. 

• The Per Serving method is the default method in the program. In this method, the overage is a percentage of the per serving amount. For example, if the label claim amount is 100 mg and the overage is 10%, the per serving method calculation looks like this:
  100 mg label claim / 0.9 = 111.11 mg per serving
• The Label Claim method is an alternate method that is used by some companies. In this method, the overage is a percentage of the label claim amount. For example, if the label claim amount is 100 mg and the overage is 10%, the label claim method calculation looks like this:
  100 mg label claim x 1.1 = 110 mg per serving.
