What's Named vs. What's Measured
Retina Clear's product page lists all 21 of its ingredients by name. That's worth acknowledging -- some competing products hide everything behind a single vague blend name. But naming an ingredient and dosing it are two different kinds of disclosure, and Retina Clear only does the first.
No Blend Weight, No Individual Doses
Many supplements that use a "proprietary blend" format at least publish a total blend weight -- a single number, like "351mg," covering all the undisclosed ingredients combined. Retina Clear's page doesn't even go that far: there's no stated blend weight anywhere, and no individual ingredient -- not even the vitamins and minerals -- has a published milligram amount.
Why This Matters
If a clinical study used a specific dose of, say, bilberry extract or lutein, there's no way to know from Retina Clear's label whether you're getting a comparable amount, a fraction of it, or more. Naming an ingredient tells you what's in the capsule; it doesn't tell you how much.
What This Isn't
This isn't a claim that the formula is ineffective -- we have no way to evaluate that without dose information either way. It's a transparency gap worth knowing about before you compare Retina Clear to a product that does publish its doses.
