Every ingredient amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

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
What the label discloses
3listed rows
3separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 3 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (as magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium citrate) | 210 mg | — | |
| Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) flower, leaf, and stem extract | 60 mg | — | |
| Saffron (Crocus sativus) stigma extract | 14 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:claude-cli:subscription Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out2
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
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.
Documented concerns
What needs caution0
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing7
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Review-count history: not available
Marketplace rating not shown★ — rating count unavailable. No exact-listing count history was available, so no review-pattern claim is made.
Listed amounts fit the serving
Technical check only: the panel’s 3 actives sum to 284 mg, which fits inside the ≈3,100 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
30 servings × 3.1 g = 93 g, matching the printed net weight 93 g (NET WT. 3.28 oz (93 g)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how magnesium 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.
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.
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.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
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
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.
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 755571961808.
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.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Speed-of-results claim “…Calming Supplement for Nighttime Relaxation: Our nighttime magnesium mix is a highly absorbable, fast-acting formula with passionflower and saffron*…” | No evidence located We looked for: a study measuring the stated outcome over the stated time | We found no study of this product measuring the stated outcome over the stated timeframe. |
| Benefit claim “Metagenics MagActive Magnesium Night Powder - Sleep Support Supplement - Aids Healthy Sleep-Wake Cycle - Contains Magnesium, Passionflower & Saffron - Melatonin Free - 93” | 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?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (as magnesium bisglycinate and mag | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 210 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
- magnesium — daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold
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.
