The most common thing on a supplement label, and the least understood.
What it is
US labelling rules let a manufacturer group ingredients into a blend and print one combined weight rather than a figure for each. The ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, but the weights themselves stay private.
The stated justification is protecting a formula from being copied. The practical effect is that nobody outside the company can tell whether a blend is mostly the expensive headline ingredient or mostly the cheap filler at the end of the list.
How to judge one
A blend totalling 15 mg is a different thing from one totalling 1,500 mg. The total is always printed and it tells you a lot.
Divide the total by the number of ingredients for a rough average. If that average is far below any research dose you can find, the blend is doing less than the list implies.
First on the list is heaviest. If the ingredient the marketing is built on sits near the end, that is informative.
Applied here
15.47 mg across twenty-one ingredients. Maca root leads the order, African mango and grape seed follow, and the amino acids sit at the end.
The panel does note 20:1 and 10:1 extract concentrations, which means a milligram of extract represents more raw plant material than a milligram of powder would. That is a genuine point in its favour and we would be unfair not to mention it.
It still does not close the gap to the doses used in most of the research. Judge accordingly, and treat the guarantee as the practical protection.
