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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 25 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D | 8mcg | — | |
| Iron | 4.5mg | — | |
| Vitamin A | 25% | — | |
| Vitamin C | 80% | — | |
| Vitamin E | 50% | — | |
| Vitamin K | 20% | — | |
| Thiamin | 25% | — | |
| Riboflavin | 30% | — | |
| Niacin | 35% | — | |
| Vitamin B6 | 30% | — | |
| Folate (60mcg Folic Acid) | 25% | — | |
| Vitamin B12 | 25% | — | |
| Biotin | 25% | — | |
| Pantothenic Acid | 30% | — | |
| Phosphorus | 20% | — | |
| lodine | 25% | — | |
| Magnesium | 20% | — | |
| Zinc | 30% | — | |
| Selenium | 25% | — | |
| Copper | 25% | — | |

| Chloride | 10% | — | |
| Choline | 25% | — |
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; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
UPC independently corroborated
UPCitemdb resolves 070074670829 to "Ensure Original Nutrition Shake Small Meal Replacement Shake Vanilla (8 fl. oz" (Ensure) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Review-count history: not available
Marketplace rating not shown★ — rating count unavailable. No exact-listing count history was available, so no review-pattern claim is made.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 3 actives sum to 5 mg, which fits inside the ≈237,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how magnesium, 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 — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Public label filing not retained
This record does not currently hold an identity-bound public label filing for the exact product. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that no filing exists.
Recall search: no match found (as of Jul 23, 2026)
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Professional-endorsement claim “…replacement, with a meal, or as a snack. #1 DOCTOR-RECOMMENDED: Ensure, the brand for strength and energy,…” | Marketing credential We looked for: who the professionals are, whether they were compensated, and what the endorsement covers | A professional endorsement is a marketing credential, not clinical evidence. Public sources don’t establish who was consulted, whether they were paid, or what specifically they reviewed. |
| Benefit claim “…ssential vitamins and minerals IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT: An excellent source of zinc, vitamin A, and…” | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| magnesium | Studies typically use 200 mg–420 mg. This product’s amount could not be read from public sources, so no comparison is possible. | |
| zinc | Studies typically use 8 mg–40 mg. This product’s amount could not be read from public sources, so no comparison is possible. | |
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
- magnesium — daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold
- 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.
Verifiability profile — 2 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.
