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.

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”. …

The label says 18 g of vitamin c in 4 gummies — but not what those 4 gummies weigh
That weight is the one number that would let anyone check the amount on the front. We did not weigh it ourselves, so this is an open question, not a problem we found.

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.

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 1 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid & Sodium Ascorbate) at 1 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

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.

The barcode identity checks out · 031604003708.
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 “Vitamin C Gummies Maximum Strength Dosage‡ 1000 mg per serving” (variant: 80) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
