What does a proprietary blend hide?
Ingredients
A proprietary blend can disclose a combined amount while leaving individual quantities undisclosed. Store the total against the blend, not against each ingredient. Ingredient names alone cannot tell you whether the product uses a study dose, and equal division of the blend weight would create invented data. Ask for a quantitative disclosure if the comparison depends on individual amounts.
