FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Rebuilt from public sources on July 23, 2026 · evidence availability is not a safety or effectiveness verdict.
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside a blend
A blend total may be legal, but it prevents you from knowing whether any individual ingredient reaches a meaningful amount.
The barcode identity checks out · 748927022940.
The outside identifier points to this product, so the other checks are less likely to be about a look-alike.

Listed amounts fit the serving
Technical check only: the panel’s 4 actives sum to 5,160 mg, which fits inside the ≈9,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
65 servings × 9 g = 585 g, matching the printed net weight 585 g (NET WT 20.6 OZ (1.29LB) 585G). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Lyons Magnus, Inc recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2022-07-22: “Findings and potential for Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Chocolate 11 fl oz (325mL). UPC 7 48927-06409 4. Shake well. Best when served chilled. Manufactured for Optimum Nutrition, Inc., 350” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
No label filed with NIH's public catalog
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,288 on 2026-02-17 to 1,364 on 2026-06-26 (net +76). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Answered by the panel: the 0.1 g listing number equals Caffeine 100 mg + Green Coffee Bean Extract 10 mg. What lot-specific document confirms those declared amounts?
The panel resolves what the headline number includes. The remaining question is whether the product in hand matches those declared amounts; ask for a lot-specific certificate of analysis.
2
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
3
What is the amount of each ingredient inside the proprietary blend?
A blend total tells you nothing about whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research. Brands may decline — that answer is informative too.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 748927022940.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
