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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 7 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 10 | — | |
| Sodium | 110 mg | — | |
| Total Carbohydrates | 2 g | — | |
| Vitamin C | 4 mg | — | |
| Manganese | 1 mg | — | |
| Glucosamine HCl (FCHG49®) | 1.5 g (1500 mg) | — | |
| Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate (TRH122®) | 1.2 g (1200 mg) | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “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 declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.

Every check we ran
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.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
Brand holds NSF/ANSI 173 certification (brand-level)
Nutramax Laboratories Consumer Care, Inc. appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 5 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Cosamin® DS (capsules)”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 90 on 2026-01-31 to 99 on 2026-07-08 (net +9). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…and help promote joint comfort and mobility Clinically Proven: Supported by more published research than a…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | No named, citable study of this product or formula was located in public sources. The claim may rest on ingredient-level research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Origin claim “…% moisture. HELPS PROMOTE JOINT COMFORT* NSF MADE IN USA” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…amine Chondroitin, 180 Capsules Joint Health Support: This joint supplement contains the combinat…” | Not assessed We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient-level evidence for this formula isn’t in our knowledge base yet. Recorded as not assessed — not as a negative. |
“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.
Verifiability profile — 2 of 6 public signals
