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.

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“to our guaranteed purity and potency”

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.

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”. …

Needs explanationIs the label honest?

Ingredient amounts are hidden inside a blend

A blend total may be legal, but it prevents you from knowing whether any individual ingredient reaches a meaningful amount.

Evidence and sources

The panel lists “Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Blend” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.

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.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 031604042646.

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

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 031604042646 to "Turmeric" (Nature Made) — consistent with this listing.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

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.

0studied 500 mg–2 g

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
