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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Fenugreek | 1 g (1,000 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
UPC independently corroborated
UPCitemdb resolves 733739046772 to "Fenugreek 500Mg By Now Foods - 100 Caps" (NOW Foods) — consistent with this listing.
Panel amounts are awaiting a clearer image read
The current image extraction retained 1 ingredient name(s) but no usable amounts. This is a LookCloser processing gap, not evidence that the brand withheld the numbers; dose arithmetic is withheld until the panel is re-read.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how fenugreek have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: PubMed search: fenugreek extract randomized controlled trial, NIH NCCIH — Fenugreek.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 782 on 2026-02-04 to 802 on 2026-07-20 (net +20). 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 “…ly. Store in a cool, dry place after opening GMP Quality Assured: NPA A-rated GMP certificati…” | 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. |
“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 Fenugreek | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 1 g — above 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
- fenugreek — studied as a standardized extract over 8–12 weeks; may interact with blood-thinning and blood-sugar medication — 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.
