The Name Says Seven And The List Says Three
A short piece, because there is very little to say — which is itself the finding.
The product is called Cardio Clear 7.
The only ingredient list anywhere in the pack names three ingredients: CoQ10, shilajit extract and PQQ disodium salt.
Nothing supplied explains the difference.
There are perfectly ordinary explanations, and this site does not get to pick one for you.
The ordinary explanations
- The 7 is a brand name rather than a count — common, and entirely unobjectionable.
- The panel declares more than three ingredients, and the marketing graphic shows only the headline three. Also common.
- The 7 refers to something else the brand has said elsewhere, in material this desk was not given.
Any of those would be fine. The point is not that the number is suspicious; it is that a buyer looking at the bottle cannot resolve it, and neither can this site, because the document that would is the one that was not supplied.
What this site does about it
Prints the question, prints the three names it has, and does not quietly round the difference away. It is on the checklist as a thing to ask the order desk, and it takes about thirty seconds to answer.
Still deciding?
The sentence to hold on to is the written pack’s own. Under Named list
it says: Follow the current bottle panel. The bottle panel is the one thing the pack does not contain, and everything else on this page follows from that.
- Three ingredients named, none with an amount
- No Supplement Facts panel was supplied to this site
- U.S. stocking partner for Cardio Clear 7
No price, no discount and no delivery estimate is printed anywhere on this site, because none was supplied to it.
Questions
Is a number in a product name a claim?
Usually not, and this site does not treat it as one.
Could there be seven ingredients?
There could. The panel would say, and the panel was not supplied.
Why mention it at all?
Because a reader counting the ingredients on this site will notice, and it is better to answer the question than to let them wonder whether the site missed it.
