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 4 separately quantified rows and 1 combined blend total. Ingredients inside a blend do not have separate amounts.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 | 30 mcg (1200 IU) | — | |
| Zinc | 13 mg | — | |
| Sodium | 150 mg | — | |
| Proprietary Apple Cider Vinegar Blend | 1877 mg | — | |
| Acetic Acid | 750 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; 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
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside a blend
The panel lists “Proprietary Apple Cider Vinegar Blend” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
Registered in NIH's supplement label database (DSLD)
Label #273912 “Apple Cider Vinegar” (Bragg), entered 2022-08-23, with the full Supplement Facts on file — see the panel below. Company on file: Distributor — Bragg Live Food Products, LLC, Santa Barbara, CA, USA.
NSF/ANSI 173 certification on file (registry-verified)
NSF’s certified-products registry lists “Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules” under Bragg Live Food Products, LLC. This certification covers identity and quantity of contents plus contaminant limits — not effectiveness. Verified directly against info.nsf.org at build time.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 074305090035 to "Apple cider vinegar capsules" (Bragg) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: Live Food Products, Inc., Bragg Live Food Products, LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,846 on 2026-01-31 to 1,926 on 2026-07-14 (net +80). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…itamin D and zinc for immunity IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT: Vitamin D and Zinc are nutrients that suppo…” | 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 | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 13 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.
Verifiability profile — 5 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.
