How to read this label

The 1,300 mg on the front of the pack is the total of all five ingredients in one 2-capsule serving, not the amount of any single ingredient. Berberine HCl is 700 mg of that total. The pack holds 60 capsules, so at 2 capsules a serving it is 30 servings. The label says to take it as directed, preferably with a meal.
