“GMP”
Evidence →“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.

Does the marketing hold up?
The headline amount is not tied to a panel row for the same ingredient. You are being sold on an ingredient the verified panel does not separately declare. The brand should explain the mismatch.

“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 headline amount is not tied to a panel row for the same ingredient
You are being sold on an ingredient the verified panel does not separately declare. The brand should explain the mismatch.
Evidence and sources
The listing presents 8 mg for potassium, but vision:google/gemini-2.5-flash does not contain a same-name quantified row. The saved image read may be incomplete, so this is a specific question to resolve rather than a contradiction.

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 ingredients listed.
Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
Evidence and sources
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

The barcode identity checks out · 603902115652.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Brain Basics - Ultra Iodine Complex - High Potency Iodine/Iodide 12.5 mg” (variant: Default Title) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
