TheyaVue Proprietary Blend: 5 Steps to Read the 481 mg Line
It is one line on the Supplement Facts panel: 240.5 mg per capsule, 481 mg a day at two capsules. Ten ingredients share it, including lutein and zeaxanthin. The label prints no amount for any of them. Five steps below show how to read the line and what to ask.
What is the proprietary blend on the TheyaVue label?
If you search for the TheyaVue label, the TheyaVue ingredients list or TheyaVue supplement facts, you end up at the same spot. Fourteen nutrients have a number. Ten more are bundled into one line called Proprietary Blend. That line is where most of the eye-related names sit.
People also ask about the TheyaVue formula and the TheyaVue natural ingredients. The label calls it an Eye & Vision Support Formula with antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin. Whether those names are present in a useful amount is the open question, and the blend line hides the answer.
This page is a reading guide for any vision supplement ingredients panel, and we use TheyaVue as the worked example. We use only the printed label and the sources named in our files.
- The blend is 240.5 mg per capsule and 481 mg per day at the label dose of two capsules.
- Ten ingredients share the line, and lutein is the first one named. Step 2 lists all ten.
- None of the ten has its own printed amount. The blend has no Daily Value, which a dagger on the panel marks.
- Fourteen other vitamins and minerals do have printed amounts, so the panel lists 24 ingredients in all.
- The inactive list is cellulose for the capsule shell, plus rice flour, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.

TheyaVue is a dietary supplement. It is not FDA approved, and no supplement is. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The label is for healthy adults 18 and over, so ask your doctor first if you take medicine or have a condition.
Step 1: Where is the blend line, and what does the dagger mean?
Find the Supplement Facts panel on the back of the bottle. The serving size is one capsule, and there are 60 servings in the bottle. Fourteen lines list a vitamin or mineral with a weight and a percent of Daily Value. The last line is different. It reads Proprietary Blend, 240.5 mg, and the percent column holds a small dagger mark.
The dagger tells you that no Daily Value has been set for the blend. That is a normal label rule. It is not a hint of anything wrong. But it does mean the percent column cannot help you here, and the only number left is the weight of the whole line.
The label asks for two capsules a day, so the daily blend is 481 mg. Every printed figure on the panel is per capsule, and you double it for the real daily intake.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Per capsule | 240.5 mg |
| Per day at two capsules | 481 mg |
| Daily Value | Not established (dagger) |
| Number of ingredients inside | Ten |
| Amount of any single ingredient | Not published |
Step 2: Which ten ingredients share the line?
Read the list in the order printed. It tells you something, which we get to in the next step. For now, notice that the two names on the front of the bottle, lutein and zeaxanthin, are not on their own line. They sit inside the blend with eight other items.
Lutein
A carotenoid from marigold and pepper. It is advertised on the front of the bottle.
Bilberry extract
From the fruit of Vaccinium myrtillus. No extract ratio is published.
Alpha lipoic acid
An antioxidant, often shortened to ALA.
Eyebright
A herb, Euphrasia officinalis. No standardisation is published.
Zeaxanthin
The partner carotenoid of lutein, also advertised on the front.
Quercetin
A plant flavonoid, from the bud of Sophora japonica.
Rutin
A flavonoid from the flower of Sophora japonica L.
L-taurine
An amino acid found in the retina.
Grape seed extract
From the seed of Vitis vinifera L. No extract ratio is published.
Lycopene
A carotenoid, last in the list.
Step 3: What does the order of the list tell you?
Labels run a blend from the heaviest ingredient to the lightest. So lutein leads this blend and lycopene closes it. That is a rank, and it is all the order can give you. It does not turn into grams.
You may see a quick sum that splits 481 mg evenly across ten items. That gives roughly 48 mg each. It is a fun number, but it is only a guess. The real split may be far from even. Nobody outside the factory knows it, and the label does not say.
So treat the order as a hint about rank and nothing more. It does not tell you whether lutein is 100 mg or 10 mg of the line.
Step 4: How does the blend compare with research doses?
Now hold the 481 mg total against the doses used in studies. This does not tell you the real amounts. It tells you how much room there is. If a research dose is bigger than the whole blend, the product cannot hold that dose of that one item and still hold nine others.
| Ingredient | Dose in the research we cite | Compared with the whole blend |
|---|---|---|
| Lutein and zeaxanthin | 10 mg lutein plus 2 mg zeaxanthin a day in AREDS2 | Together about 12 mg, so they could fit, but the amount is unknown |
| Alpha lipoic acid | 600 mg a day in a 2-year trial | Larger than the whole blend |
| Quercetin | Up to 1,000 mg a day in safety studies | Larger than the whole blend |
| L-taurine | Human safety data up to 3 g a day | Larger than the whole blend |
| Grape seed extract | 150 mg a day in a 12-month trial | Close to a third of the whole blend |
| Lycopene | About 2 to 20 mg a day in intake studies | Could fit, amount unknown |
A 2021 meta-analysis adds two markers for lutein and zeaxanthin. Under 5 mg a day, it saw no significant change in macular pigment. From 20 mg a day up, it saw more change than in the 5 to 20 mg band. The panel gives no way to tell where TheyaVue falls.
It does not prove the blend is weak. It shows that the label leaves the question open, and that some research doses could not be matched for every ingredient at once.
Step 5: What should you ask before you buy?
A good question is one that a seller can answer with a document. Here is a short list you can read out on the order desk line, +1 (315) 724-2018. Our files do not hold the answers, so we cannot give them.
- How many milligrams of lutein and how many of zeaxanthin are in one capsule?
- Is there a third-party lab report for lot THE-26/MY-1753, and who ran it?
- What are the extract ratios for bilberry, eyebright, grape seed and quercetin?
- Who is the manufacturer, and in which country is it made?
- In which form is the niacin, since the label states only 20 mg NE per capsule?
The lot number and the CoA reference printed in our files are draft references. They are not lab proof. A seller who can share a named lab and a measured lutein figure is giving you something checkable. A seller who cannot is asking you to trust the front of the bottle.
Is a blend always a bad sign?
No. US rules allow a maker to print one total instead of ten amounts, and many products do. A blend is not proof of weakness. It is a gap in what you can check, and a gap can be filled by a lab report or a direct answer.
What does matter is the mix of a bold front label and a quiet back label. Lutein and zeaxanthin are named on the front. They are measured nowhere on the back. That mismatch is the one fact to carry with you when you compare TheyaVue with any other bottle.
Frequently asked questions
What is the proprietary blend in TheyaVue?
It is one label line of 240.5 mg per capsule, or 481 mg a day, that holds ten ingredients: lutein, bilberry extract, alpha lipoic acid, eyebright, zeaxanthin, quercetin, rutin, L-taurine, grape seed extract and lycopene.
Is the lutein amount printed anywhere on the bottle?
No. Lutein and zeaxanthin are advertised on the front of the bottle, but no amount for either appears on the Supplement Facts panel.
What does the dagger next to the blend mean?
It marks a line that has no Daily Value, so the percent column stays empty. It is a standard label symbol, not a warning.
Does the order of the blend list show the amounts?
Only as a rank. Labels list a blend from heaviest to lightest, so lutein is first and lycopene is last, but the list does not give grams.
How many ingredients does TheyaVue have in total?
Twenty-four: fourteen vitamins and minerals with their own printed amounts, plus the ten ingredients that share the blend line.
Where can I ask about the missing amounts?
The order desk answers on +1 (315) 724-2018. Our files do not hold the missing amounts, so we cannot supply them.

Our view
The blend line is the single most useful thing to understand on this label. It is where the eye-related names live, and it is the one place with no numbers. We do not call that a trick. We call it a limit on what a buyer can check.
If you can live with the gap, the rest of the panel is printed clearly and you can check it against public limits. If you cannot, ask the order desk for the amounts first, and treat the lack of an answer as an answer.
If you are comfortable with what is and is not printed, the order page shows today's price and the 60-day guarantee.
