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.

“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. Pure Encapsulations, Inc. recalled a different product on November 17, 2017. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Pure Encapsulations Systemic Enzyme Complex DIETARY SUPPLEMENT 180 CAPSULES UPC: 7 66298 00862…”

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 ingredients listed.

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.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 766298002521.

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

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 766298002521 to "Zinc 30" (Pure Encapsulations) — consistent with this listing.

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

We can see 145 of this product’s 693 reviews — the count rose between August 4, 2025 and August 21, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

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

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 548 to 693 between August 4, 2025 and August 21, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 21, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.

Dose vs research

Zinc

30 mg per serving — within the 8–40 mg/day used in the linked studies.

Linked ingredient research · label amount, not a recommendation
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.
