Supplement Facts Panel and Proprietary Blends Explained
The parts of the panel
- Serving size and servings per container, which drive cost per day.
- Amount per serving for each dietary ingredient, in milligrams or micrograms.
- % Daily Value, shown only where a reference value exists.
- Other ingredients, such as the capsule shell, fillers and flow agents.
Proprietary blends
A proprietary blend lists the combined weight of several ingredients without showing each amount. Ingredients are normally listed in descending order by weight, so you can see which is biggest, but you cannot tell whether any is present at a useful level. That makes comparison and safety checks harder.
Why amounts matter
Ingredient effects and risks depend on dose. For example, the NIH sets an upper limit for supplemental niacin, which you can only check if you know the amount; see our niacin guide.
Where to look things up
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database lets you search product labels, and the NIH's consumer guide to dietary supplements explains labels in plain English.
Applying it to HoneyPezil
The order page names six ingredients but not the amounts. Those appear on the bottle. When it arrives, photograph the panel, note the serving size and compare each amount with reference limits where they exist. If anything is unclear, email the seller before you start.
A five-minute label check
- Read the serving size and confirm it matches the capsule count you will take.
- Look at each amount and compare with any published upper limits.
- Read "Other ingredients" for allergens.
- Find the lot number and expiry date.
- Photograph the panel for your records.
Why photos help
Labels change between batches. A dated photo lets you compare later and show a clinician exactly what you took.
