What the label does not tell you

The panel gives a combined 200 mg amount for the proprietary blend, not the individual milligram amount for each component. This limits dose-level comparisons with individual ingredient trials.

The label also carries the standard dietary supplement disclaimer that statements have not been evaluated by FDA and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Why label information takes priority

Promotional pages may emphasize selected ingredients or describe the formula in simplified terms. For serving size, directions, ingredient identity and labeled amounts, the product label is the primary reference on this site.

The FDA explains that dietary supplement labels generally must identify the serving size, dietary ingredients and the amount of ingredients per serving, while proprietary blends may list the total blend amount rather than individual ingredient amounts.

Reading the panel from top to bottom

The panel begins with the serving size and servings per container. These are basic but important because all listed amounts refer to one serving. Sugar Defender shows 1 mL per serving and 60 servings per 60 mL bottle.

Chromium is listed separately at 0.7 mcg, 2% Daily Value, as chromium picolinate. The next line is the 200 mg proprietary herbal blend. The double-asterisk indicates that a Daily Value has not been established for that blend.

Below the Supplement Facts box, the label lists deionized water, organic citrus extract, natural flavors, stevia and xylitol as other ingredients. Those ingredients contribute to the liquid base, flavor or formulation rather than being listed as dietary ingredients in the proprietary blend.

Why the label and marketing page may look different

Marketing pages often spotlight only the ingredients that are easiest to explain in advertising. The actual label contains many more components. That is not necessarily an error by itself, but an authority site should use the complete label when describing what is in the bottle.

What the FDA disclaimer means

The supplied label includes the standard statement that the claims have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. FDA explains that this disclaimer accompanies certain structure/function claims because those claims are not approved by FDA before use in the same way drug claims are.
