Why Proprietary Blends Are a Red Flag
Proprietary blends are one of the clearest warning signs when evaluating a fat burner supplement.
What a proprietary blend is
A list of ingredients with only a combined total dosage, not individual amounts for each ingredient.
Why this matters
Without individual dosages, there's no way to know if active ingredients are present at doses shown to be effective in research.
What to look for instead
Products that list individual ingredient dosages transparently allow you to actually verify effective dosing.
Key takeawayProprietary blends hide individual ingredient dosages, making it impossible to verify effective dosing — choosing products with transparent, individually-listed dosages is a much safer bet.
