How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 25 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A | 220mcg mcg | — | |
| Vitamin C | 23mg mg | — | |
| Vitamin E | 4mg mg | — | |
| Vitamin K | 30mcg mcg | — | |
| Thiamin | 0.3mg mg | — | |
| Riboflavin | 0.3mg mg | — | |
| Niacin | 4mg mg | — | |
| Vitamin B6 | 0.4mg mg | — | |
| Folate | 100mcg DFE mcg DFE | — | |
| Vitamin B12 | 0.6mcg mcg | — | |
| Biotin | 7.5mcg mcg | — | |
| Pantothenic Acid | 1.3mg mg | — | |
| Phosphorus | 300mg mg | — | |
| Iodine | 38mcg mcg | — | |
| Magnesium | 100mg mg | — | |
| Zinc | 2.8mg mg | — | |
| Selenium | 14mcg mcg | — | |
| Copper | 0.2mg mg | — | |

| Potassium | 400mg mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
UPC independently corroborated
UPCitemdb resolves 008346711307 to "SlimFast Protein Shake Chocolate- 20g Protein Meal Replacement Shake Ready to " (SlimFast) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Photo-read pack numbers need confirmation
Our image read produced 12 × 325 g = 3900 g versus net weight 325 g. OCR or variant mixing can cause this; check the physical package before treating it as a contradiction.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 25 actives sum to 1,242 mg, which fits inside the ≈325,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how magnesium, zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Public label filing not retained
This record does not currently hold an identity-bound public label filing for the exact product. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that no filing exists.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 303 on 2026-01-29 to 337 on 2026-07-14 (net +34). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 100 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 2.8 mg — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Documented cautions
- magnesium — daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold
- zinc — daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice
Statements from published sources about these ingredients — not advice about this product, and not a complete safety review. Anyone taking medication should talk to a pharmacist or clinician.
