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.

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)”. …

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 755571961761.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

UPCitemdb resolves 755571961761 to "Metagenics PhytoMulti Multivitamin Tablets - for Healthy Aging Cellular Health " (Metagenics) — consistent with this listing.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 4 to 7 between March 5 and May 30, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 4 to 7 between March 5 and May 30, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 1, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

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 40 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits below that range.

0studied 200 mg–420 mg

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.

The panel lists 15 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.
