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.

FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out3
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Sports Research Corporation (CORPORATION) in CALIFORNIA, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
UPCitemdb resolves 023249091516 to "Sports Research Sports Research Magnesium L-Threonate - 90 Count" (Sports Research) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The label’s 2,000 mg reads 14× larger than the magnesium on the
Salt weight, not the actual mineral. 2,000 mg is the weight of the magnesium threonate compound. The actual magnesium in it is 144 mg. You are getting 144 mg of magnesium per serving.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing8
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Listing claim matches the label panel
The listing claims 2 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Magnesium (from 2000 mg magnesium L-threonate) (Magtein®) at 2 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Magnesium amount, in daily-intake context
label states 2000 mg/serving — about 476% of the adult daily reference (adult RDA 310–420 mg elemental; NIH sets 350 mg/day as the supplemental upper level for elemental magnesium). A single serving isn’t meant to supply a full day, so this is context, not a shortfall. Caveat: chelate labels (glycinate, citrate) often state compound mass, which reads ~5–7× higher than elemental magnesium — the Supplement Facts panel settles which is meant. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Cost to reach a studied dose
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (200–420 mg), this product runs roughly $30 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how magnesium 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 saved
We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.
No recall found — which is not the same as being tested
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 186 on 2025-07-01 to 400 on 2026-07-21 (net +214). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
2
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 023249091516.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Origin claim “…MANUFACTURED IN THE USA: Our products are made in cGMP compliant facilities in the United States, using only the best ingredients from domestic & international origins.…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…Easily absorbed, our magnesium L threonate capsules are used for their overall brain health benefits and may help support memory, focus, relaxation, mood, and cognition.” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label states 2000 mg/serving — about 476% of the adult daily reference (adult RDA 310–420 mg elemental; NIH sets 350 mg/day as the supplemental upper level for elemental magnesium). A single serving isn’t meant to supply a full day, so this is context, not a shortfall. Caveat: chelate labels (glycinate, citrate) often state compound mass, which reads ~5–7× higher than elemental magnesium — the Supplement Facts panel settles which is meant. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (from 2000 mg magnesium L-threonat | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 144 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
