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 400 mg elderberry (sambucus nigra) fruit 4:1 extract claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 400 mg of elderberry (sambucus nigra) fruit 4:1 extract, and the listing-image panel shows 400 mg elderberry (sambucus nigra) fruit 4:1 extract 1 capsule. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Carbohydrate | less than 1 g | — | |
| Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) | 90 mg | — | |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | 11 mg | — | |
| Sodium | 10 mg | — | |
| Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Fruit 4:1 Extract | 400 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
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 zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Zinc fact sheet, PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial.
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. Pharmavite recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2016-06-06: “Specific lots of Nature Made(R) Vitamin D tablets may exceed specifications for yeast/mold.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Nature Made(R) D3 1000IU, 125 count, UPC 0-31604-02793-3” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
Barcode record is too sparse to confirm identity
Open Food Facts resolves 031604043100 to "" (brand not supplied), but that record lacks enough exact brand/product detail to confirm or contradict this listing.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 134 on 2026-02-01 to 138 on 2026-06-16 (net +4). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Origin claim “…ave no artificial flavors and no color added Made in the USA with quality global ingredients, #1 Pharmaci…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…berry Extract, Dietary Supplement for Immune Support, 60 Capsules, 60 Day Supply Antioxidant supp…” | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 11 mg — within 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.
Documented cautions
- zinc — daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice
Statements from published sources about these ingredients — not advice about this product, and not a complete safety review. Anyone taking medication should talk to a pharmacist or clinician.

Where it sells
A brand storefront was found, but no exact-product price was published or identity-bound at build time.
Brand store naturemade.com: 173 supplement products (+22 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.
