A proprietary blend that names every ingredient plainly, while disclosing that individual amounts aren't published, is a meaningfully different transparency level than a blend that hides ingredient names too.
What "honestly disclosed" should mean
- Every ingredient named individually — not hidden behind a vague "energy complex"
- The proprietary-blend status stated plainly — not buried in fine print or omitted entirely
- An honest acknowledgment that individual amounts aren't disclosed, rather than implying full transparency
What "real research context, not hype" actually looks like
It means naming which ingredient has the strongest evidence (in this formula, ashwagandha) rather than implying all eight ingredients carry equal research weight. It also means being honest when an ingredient's evidence is thinner — traditional use, not extensive modern trials.
What "evidence-tiered" should mean when comparing supplements
| Tier | What it means | Example here |
|---|---|---|
| Strongest | Multiple peer-reviewed human trials | Ashwagandha |
| Moderate | Some clinical research, mechanism understood | L-Arginine, Horny Goat Weed |
| Traditional | Long traditional use, limited modern trials | Muira Puama, Catuaba, Tribulus |
💡 The honest standard: a formula doesn't need every ingredient to be clinically proven to be worth considering — it needs to be honest about which ingredients are and aren't, so you can weigh that yourself.
