Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed1

“in Scotts Valley, CA, under the Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) established by the US Food and Drug”

“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“in the”

“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Threshold Enterprises Ltd recalled a different product on September 10, 2019. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Source Naturals Dietary Supplement Brain Charge Advanced Cognitive Support 30 tablets, 60…”

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

We can see 7 of this product’s 682 reviews — the count rose between September 9, 2025 and August 31, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 675 to 682 between September 9, 2025 and August 31, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 3, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

What remains open 2
  • We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
  • Barcode checksum is valid; no independent product record was found.
