Official product information
The whole wrap, transcribed panel by panel: the facts table, the other-ingredients line that names gelatin, the caution, the storage line and the disclaimer.

Quick answer
The Protoflow label prints fourteen ingredients with fourteen amounts and no proprietary blend, a correct footnote and a boxed FDA disclaimer. It also prints gelatin in the other-ingredients line, and carries no allergen statement of any kind.
Panel one
Fourteen ingredients, fourteen amounts, one footnote.
This page is a transcription. Everything below is read off the wrap label supplied with the product artwork, panel by panel, with our commentary kept separate from the quotation. Where the marketing and the label disagree, the label is printed.
Fourteen ingredients, fourteen amounts, no proprietary blend. In a men’s botanical formula that is genuinely unusual — a blend is normally where this category hides how little of each herb is in the capsule. Here every figure is printed and every figure can be checked.

* Daily Value not established. One footnote, one marker, and the marker sits on every row that has no Daily Value. The two rows that do have one carry a real percentage instead. That is how the footnote is supposed to work, and it is done correctly here.
Reading the rows
Two rows can be measured against a published figure. Twelve cannot.
These are the only rows a federal fact sheet can be held against, and two of the six the seller’s ingredients card leaves out.
Vitamin E, 13 mg, 87% DV, declared as D-alpha tocopheryl succinate: the natural form, and ODS is explicit that the distinction matters. “The natural form is more potent; 1 mg vitamin E = 1 mg d-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E) = 2 mg dl-alpha-tocopherol (synthetic vitamin E).” Thirteen milligrams against a 15 mg RDA is 87 per cent, exactly the figure in the %DV column. Form and arithmetic are both correct.
Niacin, 75 mg, 469% DV. The percentage is right as well: the Daily Value is 16 mg and 75 divided by 16 is 469. The amount is the question. ODS sets the adult upper limit at 35 mg from dietary supplements, and this serving is more than double it. The panel does not say which form it is, and nicotinic acid and niacinamide behave very differently at this amount.
Every one carries the asterisk that resolves to the panel’s own footnote: “* Daily Value not established.” That is a statement about the regulation rather than the ingredient. No reference intake has been set, so there is no percentage to print — which does not mean the amount is unimportant, or that it is meaningful.
In printed order: hawthorn 250 mg, epimedium sagittatum 250 mg, damiana 200 mg, muira puama 200 mg, ginkgo 120 mg, Chinese ginseng 120 mg, tribulus 120 mg, catuaba 84.5 mg, saw palmetto 84.5 mg, inosine 50 mg, oat straw 32 mg, cayenne 20 mg. Twelve starred rows, 1,531 mg between them, and inosine is not a plant.
Not one of these rows carries an extract ratio or a standardisation, so each figure describes material rather than activity. That is the panel’s real limitation, and it belongs to the category rather than to this bottle alone.
Printed on the wrap immediately under the panel, in full: “Rice Flour, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein Concentrate, Water.”
Seven items. Rice flour is a filler, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide are flow agents, maltodextrin is a carrier, and soy protein concentrate is why soy is declared on this bottle at all. Gelatin is the capsule shell, and it is made from animal collagen. None of that is unusual; it is what a capsule is made of. It is also the row a “100% natural” roundel has to sit above, and the section below reads it line by line.
Panel two
Seven items, and the second answers a question the marketing answers the other way.
Seven other ingredients, and the second one decides a question the marketing answers differently. Gelatin is made from animal collagen. On a capsule product the shell is where a vegetarian claim is won or lost, and here it is lost on the label’s own words. The row also contains maltodextrin, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate, which are perfectly ordinary manufacturing ingredients and are not what anybody means by “100% natural”.
The other-ingredients line on the wrap reads, word for word: “Rice Flour, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein Concentrate, Water.” Gelatin is made by boiling down animal collagen — skin, bone and connective tissue, usually bovine or porcine. It is the second ingredient in that row, which on a capsule product means it is almost certainly the shell. The supplied marketing pack ships a round VEGETARIAN mark with a carrot in the middle of it. Those two things cannot both be true of the same bottle.
On any capsule, read the other-ingredients line before you read the seal. The shell is where a vegetarian claim is won or lost, and it has only two ordinary answers: gelatin, which is animal, or hypromellose or cellulose, which is not. A seal is a picture somebody chose. The other-ingredients line is a regulated statement of what is in the capsule. Where they disagree, believe the line.
Because it is the finding a reader is most materially harmed by not knowing, and it is invisible unless somebody reads it out loud. A seal is a picture chosen by whoever built the listing; the other-ingredients line is a regulated statement of what is in the capsule.
What is missing
There is no allergen statement on this label. There is no “contains” line and no “free from” line. The other-ingredients row does name soy protein concentrate, so soy is declared where the law requires a major allergen to appear — in the ingredient list itself. But the supplied marketing pack ships a gluten free roundel and a dairy free roundel for a label that makes neither claim, and the panel contains oat straw.
Soy is on this label, inside the ingredient list as soy protein concentrate, which is precisely where US law requires a major allergen to be named. The declaration is correctly made; it is made in the ingredient list rather than in a separate “contains” statement, which is one of the two lawful ways to do it.
Everything else. There is no statement about milk, egg, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish or sesame, in either direction. A label with no allergen statement has not failed a test; it has made no claim, and a claim is what a seller has to stand behind. The gluten free and dairy free roundels therefore have nothing on the bottle behind them, and the panel contains oat straw.
The remaining panels
The rest of the wrap is short and most of it is done properly. Each block below is quoted as printed, with the commentary underneath.
“As a dietary supplement, adults take two capsules daily with water.” One sentence, and it agrees with the panel, which is written for the same two capsules and declares thirty servings. Sixty capsules is thirty days on both readings.
“If you are currently taking any medication, consult with a physician prior to use. Do not exceed suggested use.”
One sentence, and on this formula it is the most important sentence on the bottle. Three of the fourteen ingredients — vitamin E, ginkgo and Asian ginseng — carry published warnings about bleeding and anticoagulant medicines. The label tells you to have that conversation. Have it.
“Store this product in a cool dry place below 30°C (86°F). KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT USE IF SAFETY SEAL IS DAMAGED OR MISSING. STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.” A broken seal on arrival is a call to the order desk rather than a capsule to take.
“† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”
Printed on the wrap itself, in a boxed rule, tied by a dagger to both of the front-of-label claims. This is what a correctly disclaimed structure/function claim looks like, and the label gets it right.
“Distributed by: PhytoThrive Labs, 19655 E 35th Dr #100, Aurora, CO 80011, USA”
The label names a distributor with a street address in Aurora, Colorado. It prints no phone number and no email beside it, and the office and returns addresses supplied to this desk are in New York rather than Colorado. A distributor is not a manufacturer, and no manufacturer is named anywhere on this packaging.
The silences
Read a label for what is missing as well as for what is printed.
There is none. No “contains” line, no “free from” line. Soy is declared where it must be — inside the ingredient list, as soy protein concentrate — but the gluten-free and dairy-free roundels in the marketing pack have nothing on the label behind them.
The panel says “Niacin (Vitamin B3)”. Nicotinic acid flushes at 30 mg and above; niacinamide does not. At 75 mg the distinction matters and the label does not draw it.
Eleven botanical rows and not one ratio, standardisation or marker compound. “Hawthorn (Fruit) 250 mg” could be milled fruit or a concentrated extract, and those are different products.
A distributor is named. The company that made the capsules is not.
No phone, no email, no website on the wrap. Only a street address in Aurora, Colorado.
Not visible on the supplied photograph. Those are normally stamped on the base after filling.
The front says “day & night formula”. The directions say two capsules daily and stop there.
Seven silences, and not all the same kind. Some are absences no regulator requires anybody to fill: no US label has to print an extract ratio or name its manufacturer. Some undercut what the marketing says out loud, like the missing allergen statement under two free-from roundels. And one — the missing form of niacin — is a single word that changes how the capsule will feel in the first fortnight. Set against that, this label publishes more than most of its shelf, and every criticism here was only possible because it did.
Questions
<strong>No.</strong> The other-ingredients line reads “Rice Flour, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein Concentrate, Water.” Gelatin is made from animal collagen. The marketing pack ships a vegetarian roundel; the label contradicts it, and the label is the document that counts.
Yes. The other-ingredients line names soy protein concentrate. That is where US law requires a major allergen to appear, so the declaration is correctly made — it is just made inside the ingredient list rather than in a separate contains statement.
The label carries no allergen statement of any kind — no contains line and no free-from line — so neither claim has anything on the bottle behind it. Nothing in the other-ingredients row is milk-derived. The panel does contain oat straw, and oats are commonly handled alongside wheat, so a gluten-free claim here would need a test result that was not supplied.
