Checked against public sources between July 21 and September 3, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.
Does the marketing hold up?
Headline number is a blend total, not one named ingredient. The listing uses 500 mg for curcumin. The panel assigns 500 mg to Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Blend, while its same-subject row lists 47.5 mg. The headline therefore describes the blend, not the named…
“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.

The listing uses 500 mg for curcumin. The panel assigns 500 mg to Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Blend, while its same-subject row lists 47.5 mg. The headline therefore describes the blend, not the named constituent. This documents the label framing; it does not establish what is inside the product.
Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.
“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.
We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.
Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.
An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
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”. …
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingThe public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.
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.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingThe barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “500 mg Turmeric Curcumin Capsules” (variant: 120) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

These are the USPTO records behind the brand name. We show them all rather than choosing one by similarity.

The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.
47.5 mg per serving — below the 500–2000 mg/day used in the linked studies.
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 500 mg of turmeric / curcumin per serving. Studies we found used 500 mg–2 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.

The observed listing and exact brand page repeat 500 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.
The exact brand page is lower by 0.15 points. The brand page publishes 55; the retailer surface shows 30,338. Different systems can collect different review pools, so this is a signal to inspect, not proof that reviews were manipulated.
The brand page did not expose a complete star-by-star breakdown in the captured structured data, so LookCloser cannot test whether lower-star reviews were omitted. Source: exact barcode-bound brand product page · retailer surface · counts do not prove authenticity.
The full report shows every source, the exact unresolved question, and the documentation that would settle it.
