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 600 mg alpha lipoic acid (granules) claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid (granules), and the listing-image panel shows 600 mg alpha lipoic acid (granules) 1 veg capsule. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha Lipoic Acid (Granules) | 600 mg | — | |
| Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) (Standardized for Polyphenols) | 30 mg | — | |
| Black Pepper Fruit Extract (Bioperine®) | 5 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; 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
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.
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.
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. Now Foods recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2025-05-08: “regular yeast was inadvertently packaged as nutritional yeast” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “NOW Nutritional Yeast Powder, Nt. Wt. 10oz. UPC 7 33739 02460 2” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
No exact supplement trademark owner found
The live USPTO search returned no exact-wordmark supplement-related registration for this brand. That is a public-record gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.
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 358 on 2026-01-22 to 364 on 2026-07-09 (net +6). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing claim “…ree nut or sesame ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients co…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located. |
| Benefit claim “…ar strength product (100 mg per capsule) ALA promotes the production of glutathione and can also r…” | 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.
