Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

What the Supplement Facts panel says

Serving size 1 Tablet · 60 servings per container

Zinc (as zinc arginate and zinc glycinate)20 mg

Printed on the package: SCIENTIFICALLY DESIGNED · DESIGNED · Certified B Corporation · PRACTITIONER RECOMMENDED · Crafted with Plant-Based Ingredients · DAILY WELLBEING · IMMUNITY & BONE HEALTH · HEART HEALTH A IMMUNITY

We read only 1 line from this label. A Supplement Facts panel normally lists several more, so treat this as incomplete rather than as the whole label.

Partly confirmed2

“Absorbable Zinc with Arginine & Glycine Chelates - Supports Immune Function, Bone Health, Skin & Energy Metabolism - Non-GMO & Gluten-Free - 60”

Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

Evidence →
“in GMP-certified facilities with third-party testing for purity and”

“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

Claimed without support found1

“the #1 Doctor Recommended Professional Supplement Brand, Metagenics delivers clinically proven, precision-crafted formulas to support your health…”

We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product.

Evidence →

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“in GMP-certified facilities with third-party testing for purity and”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Metagenics, Inc. recalled a different product on July 3, 2014. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “UltraBalance Protein Powder, Net Wt. 14.8 oz (420g)”. …

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
What remains open 4
  • Panel amounts still need a clearer source image.
  • We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
  • Barcode checksum is valid; no independent product record was found.
  • No dated review-history series is on file yet.

These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.
