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.
The named ingredient is not separately quantified
The panel was read, but it does not give a separate amount for curcumin. The listing claim cannot be compared to a named panel row.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turmeric Extract | 50 MG | — | |
| Curcuminoids | 95 % | — | |
| Turmeric | 500 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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
UPC independently corroborated
UPCitemdb resolves 025077154197 to "Puritan s Pride Turmeric Curcumin 500 mg Herbal Supplement green 180 count ca" (Puritan s Pride) — consistent with this listing.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how turmeric / curcumin have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Natures Bounty Inc recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2018-08-07: “High level of microcystin observed in the product.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “BLUE GREEN ALGAE: Packaged under the following brands: AMERICAN HEALTH KALMATH SHORES BLUE GREEN ALGAE, 120 CAPSULES, UPC: 0 76630 02542 3 and Puritan's Pride PREMIUM Kalamath Lake” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 460 on 2026-01-31 to 467 on 2026-04-17 (net +7). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
The headline amount is not tied to a same-name panel row
The listing presents 500 mg for curcumin, but vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 does not contain a same-name quantified row. The retained image read may be incomplete, so this is a specific question to resolve rather than a contradiction.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…Supplement Features antioxidant properties* Supports overall wellness and a healthy lifestyle* Fe…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“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?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Turmeric Extract | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–2 g) · bar = this label | 50 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.

ℹ Use pattern in research: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form.
