Sometimes a manufacturer tweaks the formula of a product, because of a change in the cost of ingredients or any other reason. Ingredients are typically listed in order of quantity, so the first ingredient is the one of which the product contains the most and the last is the one of which it contains the least. One of your formulas contains a higher proportion of eyebright than the others. This may be because the eyebright in that batch was tested and found to be less potent than the eyebright used in the other batch, the way you might add more pepper to a recipe if the pepper itself is not as sharp as you like. IDK what "Wildcrafted" means--to me it sounds like MarketingSpeak for "grown wild and collected by hippies in an abandoned lot" as opposed to grown on a farm and harvested like any other commercial crop, but that's just my guess.
It doesn't necessarily mean that this is a counterfeit product, but I have no way of knowing if it is or isn't. Why don't you show the company the suspect label and ask if it's theirs?

I asked them about it. I know that it goes according to quantities so it cant be listed differently.
they said eyebright on their packaging is second ,not second to last its got alot in it,they cant guarantee I will get the correct product if I dont order from them directly. they didnt seem to know about this.
so I am suspecting a fake product and the label not being copied correctly.
I am upset cos I trusted iherb in the past. who knows what stuff I received just copied correctly so cant suspect.
