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 1 declared row. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) | 250 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
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
UPC independently corroborated
UPCitemdb resolves 693749662013 to "THORNE - PharmaGABA-250 - GABA Supplement - 250 mg Natural Source Gamma-Aminobut" (Thorne) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Label math could not be verified
The retained listing evidence does not establish net weight, per-serving dose, servings per container, so the dose claim cannot yet be checked against serving arithmetic. This is a neutral evidence gap, not a pass or strike.
No data yet: Testing claimed — documentation not found
The listing claims third-party testing without naming any lab or certifier, so the claim can't be verified as stated.
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.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
Brand holds NSF/ANSI 173 certification (brand-level)
Thorne® appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 10 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Thorne® PharmaGABA-250”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…ty Contents Certified: This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the packag…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: a named laboratory, a certificate of analysis, or a certification-registry entry | No named laboratory, no certificate of analysis, and no certification-registry entry matching this product was located. |
| Benefit claim “…mg Natural Source Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid - Promotes a Calm, Relaxed, Focused State of Mind* - 60…” | Not assessed We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient-level evidence for this formula isn’t in our knowledge base yet. Recorded as not assessed — not as a negative. |
“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.
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.
