Here is a link to the company's website's products section:
http://www.bluebonnetnutrition.com/ourproducts_fr.htm
Just select "Super Earth Formula Caplets" from the drop-down menu... the ingredients are continued on "Super Earth Formula Caplets (Cont.)" on the drop-down menu.
I only paid $13.99 for a 15-day supply. A great deal if you ask me!
