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.
The 600 mg alpha lipoic acid claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid, and the listing-image panel shows 600 mg alpha lipoic acid 1 capsule. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha Lipoic Acid | 600 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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s 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.

Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Pure Encapsulations, Inc. (['CORPORATION', 'SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME (SA)']) in ['DELAWARE, USA', 'SWITZERLAND'] 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.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 766298007014 to "Alpha Lipoic Acid" (Pure Encapsulations) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Label math could not be verified
The retained listing evidence does not establish net weight, per-serving dose, servings per container, so the dose claim cannot yet be checked against serving arithmetic. This is a neutral evidence gap, not a pass or strike.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Pure Encapsulations, Inc. recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2017-11-17: “Product contains undeclared sulfites.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Pure Encapsulations Systemic Enzyme Complex DIETARY SUPPLEMENT 180 CAPSULES UPC: 7 66298 00862 2” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 57 on 2026-01-30 to 69 on 2026-07-14 (net +12). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…ipoic Acid 600 mg - ALA Supplement for Liver Support, Antioxidants, Nerve Health, Cardiovascular…” | 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.
