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.

Checks out

The barcode identity checks out · 033984037205.

The outside identifier points to this product, so the other checks are less likely to be about a look-alike.

Public context

Research links are available for zinc.

Use the linked research to check whether the ingredient and outcome you care about are actually connected. Ingredient evidence does not verify this product.

Confirmed evidence

What checked out01

These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.

Barcode confirmed in an outside database

UPCitemdb resolves 033984037205 to "Solgar Zinc 50 - 100 Tablets" (Solgar) — consistent with this listing.

Confirmed

Documented concerns

What needs caution00

These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.

No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.

Unresolved public record

What is still missing06

We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.

Panel amounts are awaiting a clearer image read

The current image extraction retained 1 ingredient name(s) but no usable amounts. This is a LookCloser processing gap, not evidence that the brand withheld the numbers; dose arithmetic is withheld until the panel is re-read.

No data

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.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Nestle Product Technology Center - Nestle Health Science recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2023-12-22: “Nestle Health Science has initiated a recall of Solgar Glucosamine Chondroitin, 120 Tablets, in Glass bottle, 12 bottles per case because of error during packaging in which a A Megasorb B-Complex product was filled into ” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Solgar, Triple Strength, Shellfish -Free, Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, 120 Tablets per bottle. Glass Bottle, 12 per Case, Store at room temperature . Product Number -1319” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.

No data

No label filed with NIH's public catalog

The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.

No data

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.

No data

180-day review-count history is on file

Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 668 on 2026-05-26 to 674 on 2026-07-21 (net +6). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.

What to ask and check

What would settle the open questions

Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.

Ask the brand or seller

1

Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?

Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.

Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.

Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed

1

Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.

Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.

2

Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 033984037205.

A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.

3

Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.

A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.

These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
