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.
Is the dose real?✓Listing and panel agreeboth say 200 mg of Vitamin C
What a serving costs$1.43per serving, at the checked price
Is it tested?No testing claim made
Who’s behind it?🇺🇸METAGENICS, INC.corporation; limited liability company · CALIFORNIA, USA; DELAWARE, USA
Is it the real thing?✓Barcode matches outside records
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.

“Zinc 30 mg per serving”
Evidence →The label promises 30 mg per serving. The panel says 30 mg. They match.
◐Partly confirmed1
“Metagenics Immune Active - Quercetin, NAC, Zinc, EGCG & Vitamin C - Supports Immune Health, Antioxidant Defense & Glutathione Production - Non-GMO…”
Evidence →Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label states 30 mg/serving — about 75% of the adult daily reference (adult RDA 8–11 mg; NIH sets 40 mg/day as the tolerable upper limit for adults). A single serving isn’t meant to supply a full day, so this is context, not a shortfall. Caveat: chelate and gluconate labels may state compound mass rather than elemental zinc.
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…”
Evidence →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.

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)”. …

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
Evidence and sources
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 30 mg of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 8 mg–40 mg
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
