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.
Panel, decoded
The 160 mg magnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate) claim matches the panel
MARKETING160 mg — per-serving claim
PANELMagnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate) 160 mg — same amountSaturated Fat 1.5 g + Magnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate) 160 mg
matches panelWe did the comparison: the listing claims 160 mg of magnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate), and the listing-image panel shows 160 mg magnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate) serving size: 2 softgels. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

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 out4
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 023249093039 to "Sports Research® High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate 160mg Relaxation Muscle Ner" (Sports Research) — consistent with this listing.
The review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 60 to 115 between July 7, 2025 and July 31, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 9, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution0
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
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 and photo-read panel need confirmation
The listing says 160 mg, while our photo read produced Magnesium (from 1441 mg chelated magnesium glycinate) at 1.441 g per serving. OCR can confuse small units and digits, so this remains unresolved until checked against the physical label.
Magnesium amount, in daily-intake context
label states 160 mg/serving — about 38% 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 1.2 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (200–420 mg), this product runs roughly $16 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 59 on 2025-06-26 to 115 on 2026-07-31 (net +56). 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
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
2
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.
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 023249093039.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Third Party Tested” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report; its UPC is not published. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Benefit claim “…SUPPORTS RESTFUL SLEEP: Sports Research Magnesium Glycinate promotes restful sleep by stimulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)—an essential neurotransmitter in the ner” | 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 160 mg/serving — about 38% 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 1441 mg chelated magnesium g | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 160 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
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.
