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 120 mg caffeine claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 120 mg of caffeine, and the listing-image panel shows 120 mg caffeine 1 scoop or stick pack (0.25 oz/7g). Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

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
Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts
The panel carries these quoted observations: “Calories has no unit”; “Total Sugars has no unit”. US-market labels are produced under cGMP controls; these are template or translation artifacts worth checking, not proof that the label is fabricated or that the product is unsafe.
No data yet: Photo-read pack numbers need confirmation
Our image read produced 42 × 7 g = 294 g versus net weight 98 g. OCR or variant mixing can cause this; check the physical package before treating it as a contradiction.
No data yet: Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: AdvoCare International, L.P., AdvoCare International, L.L.C.. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
No data yet: Testing claimed — documentation not found
The observed listing claims third-party testing without naming a lab or certifier. No product-bound report is retained, so the claim cannot be verified as stated. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 19 actives sum to 1,775 mg, which fits inside the ≈7,000 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 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.
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.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. AdvoCare International, LP recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2018-11-12: “Product contains beta phenyl gamma aminobutyric acid HCl.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “SleepWorks Liquid Vitamin & Mineral Herbal Supplement 12 single serving bottles - 2 Fl Oz (60 mL) Net 24 Fl Oz (720 mL), product code W3721” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 178 on 2026-01-25 to 209 on 2026-07-24 (net +31). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…US SUGAR FREE HELPS BOOST ENERGY WOMEN OWNED THIRD PARTY TESTED VEGAN GLUTEN FREE NON-GMO NO ARTIFICIAL COLO…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, retained brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Benefit claim “…rink Mix - Vitamin & Amino Acid Supplement - Supports Energy & Focus* - Portable Immune Support* -…” | 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 monomethionine) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 3 mg — below 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 — 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.
