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 3 combined blend totals. Ingredients inside a blend do not have separate amounts.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc (as zinc oxide from ferment media) | 15 mg %DV | — | |
| Copper (as copper sulfate anhydrous from ferment media) | 1.5 mg %DV | — | |
| Cardio Support Blend | 12 mg | — | |
| Immune Support Blend | 11.2 mg | — | |
| Digestive Support Blend | 11.2 mg | — | |
| Ginger (rhizome) 1.2 mg aqueous extract and 0.3 mg organic supercritical extract | 1.5 mg | — | |
| Organic Turmeric (rhizome) 1 mg and 0.3 mg supercritical extract | 1.3 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 “Cardio Support Blend” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 727783006455 to "Fermented Zinc Complex" (New Chapter) — consistent with this listing.
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 turmeric / curcumin, 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 NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.
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.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. New Chapter, Inc. recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2013-03-13: “The product may contain an undeclared allergen soy” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “NewChapter Probiotic Elderberry, 90 vegetarian capsules bottle. Dietary Supplement UPC: 7-27783-00123-8” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 202 on 2026-01-30 to 209 on 2026-06-29 (net +7). 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 “…Fermented Zinc Complex, ONE Daily for Immune Support + Skin Health, Mineral-Balancing Formula Ric…” | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Turmeric (rhizome) 1 mg and 0.3 mg s | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–2 g) · bar = this label | 1.3 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc (as zinc oxide from ferment media) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 15 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 — 4 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.

Where it sells
A brand storefront was found, but no exact-product price was published or identity-bound at build time.
Brand store newchapter.com: 95 supplement products (+4 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.

turmeric / curcumin — NIH NCCIH — Turmeric · PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine · WebMD: turmeric · ClinicalTrials.gov — 286 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form.
zinc — NIH ODS — Zinc fact sheet · PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial · ClinicalTrials.gov — 1,598 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice.
