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.

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.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Garden Of Life Llc recalled a different product on October 19, 2023. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Garden of Life, RM-10 ULTRA, Ultimate Immune System Support60 Vegetarian Caplets, Whole Food Dietary…”

Needs explanationCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews went from 1,364 to 1,383 between August 30, 2025 and July 5, 2026 — 51% of them arrived in a single month.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

The dated series runs from 1,364 written reviews on August 30, 2025 to 1,383 on July 5, 2026. Up to 705 written reviews were added within a single ~30-day window — 51% of the total. Sudden bursts are the usual fingerprint of incentivized or bought reviews; a steady climb is not.

Public contextWho is behind it?

Registered owner records: Atrium Innovations Inc. · Garden of Life, Inc. · Garden Of Life, Inc.

The public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.

Evidence and sources

USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: Atrium Innovations Inc., Garden of Life, Inc., Garden Of Life, Inc.. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 3 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.
