Actually, from what I could determine based on their assertions if you read a little more carefully, 2/3 drops ~= 500mg.
Yes, it's not completely accurate. It can't be. Even if the measurement of the liquid is accurate, you can't accurately correlate it to a dose of the powder since the powder is not extracted and could have, as you stated, contaminants or even just extra parts of the plant we really don't need.
16 drops is their suggested absolute maximum dose for the liquid, and I do take that amount, for only 2 days, at my simulated "ovulation" peak.
