Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
The largest percentage on any label we have written up. It is large because the Daily Value is 2.4 mcg, not because 240 mcg is an extreme dose. B12 is water soluble and the NIH has set no upper limit for it.
HoneyFlush Ingredients: Four With Numbers, Eleven Without
Fifteen ingredients on this label. Four of them carry an amount you can check. The other eleven share one figure, and that is the most important thing on this page.
Quick answer
HoneyFlush Advanced Formula declares four nutrients with their own amounts per two-capsule serving: folate 600 mcg DFE (150% DV), vitamin B12 240 mcg as cyanocobalamin (10,000% DV), magnesium 250 mg as magnesium oxide (60% DV) and chromium 120 mcg as chromium picolinate (343% DV). Below them sits the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend at 635 mg, holding eleven more ingredients, none of which has a published amount.
The HoneyFlush ingredients that matter most
Four of these carry a printed amount. The rest are named here because they are the ones people ask about, not because their doses are published.
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide)
A real amount of magnesium, in the form with the weakest published absorption. A 2017 crossover trial found magnesium citrate more bioavailable than the oxide at the same elemental dose.
Chromium (chromium picolinate)
Well above the NIH Adequate Intake of 35 mcg a day for adult men. A common amount in chromium research, and the percentage looks larger than the dose is.
Folate (as folic acid)
320 mcg of synthetic folic acid, which converts to 600 mcg of dietary folate equivalents. Inside the 1,000 mcg upper limit the NIH sets for folic acid from supplements.
Bacopa monnieri extract
Standardised to not less than 20% bacosides. The 2014 meta-analysis that supports it used standardised extract for at least twelve weeks, and the amounts here are not published.
Green tea leaf extract
Standardised to not less than 50% EGCG, and paired on this label with L-theanine. That pairing has the clearest short-term attention evidence of anything in the blend.
Berberine HCl
A well studied ingredient that usually appears at hundreds of milligrams to over a gram. Here it shares 635 mg with ten other things, so the amount cannot be meaningful.
Lutein and zeaxanthin
Both from marigold flower extract, and both studied for eye health rather than for the digestion, energy and clarity this product is sold for.

The four printed amounts, exactly as the panel gives them
This is the entire numbered part of the label. Two columns of figures, and then the blend.
| Ingredient | Amount per 2-capsule serving | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Folate (as 320 mcg folic acid) | 600 mcg DFE | 150% |
| Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) | 240 mcg | 10,000% |
| Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) | 250 mg | 60% |
| Chromium (as chromium picolinate) | 120 mcg | 343% |
Other ingredients
BSE-free gelatin (capsule), rice flour, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.
And the eleven with no number at allUnder those four lines sits the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend, 635 mg in total, holding eleven more ingredients: cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, bilberry, bacopa monnieri, green tea, berberine HCl, L-theanine, alpha-lipoic acid, GPC choline, lutein and zeaxanthin. Federal law lets a brand group them under one figure, so not one of those eleven amounts is published. Split evenly that is about 58 mg each, and nothing on the label says it is split evenly. Any of the eleven could be a few milligrams.
Why the 635 mg blend is the real story
Federal labelling rules let a manufacturer group ingredients into a proprietary blend. One total weight is printed, the members are listed in descending order of weight, and that is the end of the disclosure. You learn the order. You never learn the amounts.
HoneyFlush uses that allowance for eleven of its fifteen ingredients. The WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend is 635 mg in total. Divide evenly and that is about 58 mg each, but nothing says it is divided evenly, and blends almost never are. Cinnamon is listed first, so cinnamon weighs more than ginkgo, which weighs more than bilberry, and so on down to zeaxanthin. The last two or three could be a milligram apiece.
That matters because several of the eleven are studied at doses far above 58 mg. Berberine appears in trials at 500 mg to 1,500 mg a day, and bacopa monnieri at 300 mg of standardised extract.
So the honest read is this: the four printed nutrients are the part of HoneyFlush you can evaluate. The blend is a list of good names at amounts nobody outside the manufacturer knows.
What a blend label cannot be
A blend total cannot be wrong about a dose, because it never states one. That is the point of it from the seller's side, and it is why we score label transparency at 3.0 rather than higher.
The standardisation percentages inside the HoneyFlush blend
Two of the eleven carry a percentage in brackets. Those brackets would let you do useful arithmetic if the milligrams were published. They are not, so the brackets are as far as the arithmetic goes.
| What the panel prints | What the bracket means | What we can work out |
|---|---|---|
| Bacopa monnieri (whole plant) Extract [NLT 20% Bacosides] | Not less than 20% of that extract is bacosides, the compounds bacopa is studied for | Nothing. Twenty per cent of an unpublished number is still an unpublished number. |
| Green Tea (leaf) Extract [NLT 50% Epigallocatechin gallate] | Not less than half the extract is EGCG, the best studied green tea catechin | Nothing, for the same reason. The ratio is disclosed; the base is not. |
| Lutein (Marigold flower Extract) & Zeaxanthin (Marigold flower Extract) | Both carotenoids come from marigold, the standard commercial source | Nothing. They are the last two names, so they are the two smallest weights in the blend. |
| Berberine HCl | The hydrochloride salt of berberine, the form used in most trials | Nothing. Somewhere between a trace and 635 mg. |
Standardisation is a genuinely good sign: it means buying to a specification rather than to a weight. It is undercut here by the blend, because a specification on an unknown quantity still leaves you with an unknown quantity.
The four jobs inside the HoneyFlush formula
Read as jobs rather than as a list of fifteen names, the panel makes more sense.
Filling gaps in the diet
Folate, vitamin B12, magnesium and chromium. This is the part with printed amounts, the part a pharmacist can check, and the part that carries the energy claim. Three of the four are above the full Daily Value.
The word on the bottle
Magnesium oxide at 250 mg is the ingredient most likely to produce the effect the name flush suggests. Magnesium oxide draws water into the bowel. That is a laxative mechanism, and it is worth knowing before the first bottle rather than after it.
Heads and attention
Bacopa, green tea, L-theanine, GPC choline and ginkgo are all names from the cognitive shelf. The pairing of green tea with L-theanine has the clearest short-term evidence of anything here. All five are inside the blend, so none has a number.
Blood sugar and antioxidants
Berberine, chromium, cinnamon and alpha lipoic acid all appear in glucose research. Bilberry, lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants more usually sold for eyes than for digestion or clarity.
The other ingredients line on the HoneyFlush label
The panel's other-ingredients line reads: BSE-free gelatin (capsule), rice flour, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.
The first of those is the one people miss. The capsule shell is gelatin, which is an animal product, made from collagen. BSE-free means the source material is certified free of bovine spongiform encephalopathy risk, which is a manufacturing assurance, not a dietary one. A product sold under a natural wellness headline is widely assumed to be vegetarian. This one is not, and nothing on the front of the bottle says so.
Rice flour is the filler that brings the powder up to capsule volume. Silicon dioxide keeps it flowing and magnesium stearate stops it sticking. None of the three is active.
It is a short excipient list, which is a mild point in the product's favour. Four names is fewer than most.
Two spellings we are not correcting
The panel prints “Alpa Lipoic Acid (ALA)”. The ingredient is alpha lipoic acid. It also prints bilberry as Vaccinium cyanococcus; bilberry is normally Vaccinium myrtillus, while cyanococcus is the blueberry group. We transcribe the label exactly as printed and flag both, because silently correcting a manufacturer's panel would hide the thing you most want to know about its proofreading.

What exactly is in HoneyFlush?
Four nutrients with printed amounts: folate 600 mcg DFE, vitamin B12 240 mcg, magnesium 250 mg and chromium 120 mcg. Then a 635 mg blend called the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend holding eleven more ingredients, whose individual amounts are not published.
What is in the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend?
Cinnamon bark extract, ginkgo biloba leaf, bilberry fruit, bacopa monnieri at not less than 20% bacosides, green tea leaf at not less than 50% EGCG, berberine HCl, L-theanine, alpha lipoic acid, GPC choline, lutein and zeaxanthin. Eleven ingredients sharing 635 mg.
What does WMG-NVT stand for?
We do not know. The blend name appears on the label with no expansion, and nothing in the material we were given explains it. We would rather say that than guess.
Why does the B12 say 10,000% of the Daily Value?
Because the Daily Value for B12 is 2.4 mcg and this serving carries 240 mcg. The percentage is large because the reference figure is tiny. B12 is water soluble, the NIH has set no upper limit for it, and absorption falls sharply as the dose rises.
Is magnesium oxide a good form of magnesium?
It is the cheapest and the least well absorbed of the common forms. A 2017 randomized crossover trial in BMC Nutrition found magnesium citrate more bioavailable than the oxide at the same elemental dose. If magnesium is your main reason for buying, this is not the product.
Is HoneyFlush vegetarian?
No. The capsule is BSE-free gelatin, which is an animal product. It is printed in the other ingredients line and it is easy to miss under a natural wellness headline.
The label says Alpa Lipoic Acid. Is that a mistake?
It looks like one. The ingredient is alpha lipoic acid, a well known antioxidant. We transcribe the panel exactly as printed rather than silently correcting a manufacturer's label, and we flag it here.
