It's tempting to judge a supplement by how many ingredients it lists. But a long list hidden behind a "proprietary blend" name tells you almost nothing about how much of any single ingredient you're actually getting.
When a label lists a blend total (say, 500mg) instead of individual amounts, ten ingredients could be evenly split, or nine could be filler and one could be doing all the work. There's no way to tell from the label alone.
HoneyPezil takes the opposite approach: six ingredients, six disclosed amounts, from 250mg down to 5mg. You can see exactly what you're taking and in what quantity, ingredient by ingredient.
Next time you're comparing supplements, check whether the label lists individual milligram amounts or hides everything behind a single blend total. It's one of the simplest ways to gauge how transparent a brand is being with you.
