What A Proprietary Blend Means
Olivaro's label lists Chromium Picolinate individually, then names several botanicals inside a single 200 mg "proprietary blend." Here's what that phrase actually means.
What A Proprietary Blend Discloses
A proprietary blend lists which ingredients are present and, usually, the order they appear by weight (most to least). Olivaro does this — the botanicals are named clearly.
What It Doesn't Disclose
The exact milligram amount of any single ingredient inside the blend. Olivaro's blend totals 200 mg, split across roughly a dozen or more named ingredients — some may be present in a meaningful amount, others only in trace amounts, and the label alone can't tell you which.
Why This Matters For Your Decision
If a specific ingredient's clinical research used a much larger individual dose than what a diluted blend can realistically provide, that research may not translate to what's actually in your bottle. This is a normal limitation of proprietary-blend labeling across the supplement industry, not unique to any one product — but it's worth understanding before you buy.
What You Can Do
Ask the seller directly whether they'll disclose individual amounts. Compare products that publish a full quantitative label if precise dosing matters to you. Full detail on our ingredients page.
