I know, but I'm on the road, and all my doses are all organized in pill-boxes; the bottles remaining at home. After taking some pricier MT, I ran out, and had to find what was available on the road. Got MT at Walmart. It proved to be as effective, so I'm taking 4 of those now. You could probably check the bottle for quantity there.
