According to the FDA, supplement manufacturers must list all ingredients but are not required to disclose individual amounts within a proprietary blend. This means that if a supplement label uses the term "proprietary," you are not seeing the full picture of what's inside, and it has significant implications for consumers.

According to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, over half of packaged foods in the U.S. contain added flavors. This broad use of the term is possible because federal regulations allow companies to say **natural flavors** instead of listing individual flavor substances.
