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.

Panel, decoded

Every check we ran

Confirmed evidence

What checked out3

These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.

Exact trademark owner identified

USPTO lists METAGENICS, INC. (CORPORATION; LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in CALIFORNIA, USA; DELAWARE, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.

Confirmed

Barcode confirmed in an outside database

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

Confirmed

The review count moved gradually, not in one burst

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.

Confirmed

Documented concerns

What needs caution1

These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.

!

Ingredient amounts are hidden inside “Proprietary Phytonutrient

The panel lists “Proprietary Phytonutrient Blend” (400 mg) as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.

Caution

Unresolved public record

What is still missing6

We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.

Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown

We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.

No data

Research context is available for the listed ingredients

Published sources describe how magnesium, prebiotic fiber, zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.

No data

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

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)”. FDA recorded the reason as “Metagenics is recalling UltraBalance Protein powder because it may contain undeclared soy”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.

No data

Public label filing not saved

We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.

No data

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.

No data

180-day review-count history is on file

Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1 on 2025-09-29 to 7 on 2026-05-30 (net +6). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.

No data

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

Which specific study supports this claim — and was it run on this exact formula?

Ask for the citation, how many people took part, the dose used, and whether the study tested this product or just one ingredient in it. Ingredient research is not product evidence.

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 755571961761.

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.

What the listing promises — claim by claim

Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
ClaimStatusWhat we found
Clinical-evidence claim
“…The only clinically studied multivitamin formula designed for:…”
No evidence located
We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula
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.
Benefit claim
“…ANTIOXIDANT & IMMUNE SUPPORT-PhytoMulti goes beyond conventional multivitamins by combining essential micronutrients with clinically researched phytonutrients.…”
Partly supported
We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research
Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

“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?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
IngredientWhere this label sitsReading
Magnesium (as magnesium citrate)
shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label
40 mg — below the studied range
Dietary Fiber
shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–10 g) · bar = this label
1 g — below the studied range
Zinc (as zinc citrate)
shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label
15 mg — within 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

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.
