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.

“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.

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. Pharmavite recalled a different product on June 6, 2016. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Nature Made(R) D3 1000IU, 125 count, UPC 0-31604-02793-3”. …

Public contextWho is behind it?

Registered owner records: PHARMAVITE LLC · PHARMAVITE CORPORATION

The public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.

Evidence and sources

USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: PHARMAVITE LLC, PHARMAVITE CORPORATION. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 6 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 031604002589.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “L-Theanine 200 mg Chewable Tablets” (variant: 50) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.

Same UPC/GTIN observed across 2 sellers. Amazon was lowest at $12.74; Brand website was highest at $16.99 — a $4.25 range at check time.

The observed listing and exact brand page repeat 200 mg. That confirms cross-page consistency of the published claim, not the product contents.

Reference prices only · no affiliate links · every compared seller must publish the matching UPC/GTIN.
