Three ingredient lists, none of which match
The seller publishes this product’s ingredients three times. The panel names nine. The “Inside” and “How it works” graphics name six. The set of individual ingredient photographs is a different six again.

Three names on the panel are missing from the marketing graphics: caffeine, tribulus terrestris and horny goat weed. The photograph set includes tribulus and drops green tea. None of this is unlawful, and a buyer reading the artwork still would not know there is a stimulant in the gummy.
Other ingredients and the gummy base
This label prints its other-ingredients line in full, which is more than many manage: corn syrup, cane sugar, water, apple pectin, sorbitol liquid, natural flavors, citric acid, sodium citrate dihydrate.
That line answers the question people most often ask about a gummy. The gelling agent is apple pectin, which comes from fruit, not gelatin, which comes from animal collagen. So the vegetarian badge on this product is checkable and true — a small thing, and one of the better facts on the label.
It also explains the nutrition block: corn syrup and cane sugar are the first two entries, and they are where the 3 g of added sugar comes from.
