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.
Every check we ran
Dose claim implausibly high for a capsule
Claimed ashwagandha 600.0 mg is 100% of the ≈600 mg serving (serving size on the label, keyed to UPC 810139572138) — above what gummy matrices realistically carry.
Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The listing claims 600 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Ashwagandha Extract (Withania somnifera)(root) (min. 2.5% total withanolides) at 600 mg per serving. The two independent statements agree.
Intake method matches the research
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (magnesium, ashwagandha). For example, 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. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Ashwagandha dose matches published studies
label claims 600 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (trials mostly use 250–600 mg/day of root extract). Sources: NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha, PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial.
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.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 810139572138 to "Ashwagandha" (Nutricost) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Review authenticity: not yet analyzed
Marketplace rating 4.6★ across 7,762 ratings. Authenticity not analysed: burst, purge and stockout patterns need price/review history.
Reaching a studied dose costs about $5/month
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (200–420 mg), this product runs roughly $5 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…d facility quality quality nutricost Assured THIRD PARTY TESTED NON-GMO GLUTEN-FREE MADE AND QUALITY TESTED…” | Partly supported We looked for: a named laboratory, a certificate of analysis, or a certification-registry entry | A testing body is named on the listing, but no lot-specific certificate of analysis was located. |
| Manufacturing claim “…apsules is manufactured in an NSF certified, GMP compliant facility, ensuring strict quality…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located. |
| Benefit claim “…GMO-Free, Ashwagandha Root Convenient daily support: Nutricost Ashwagandha Root Extract Capsules…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 600 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (trials mostly use 250–600 mg/day of root extract). |
“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?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| magnesium | Studies typically use 200 mg–420 mg. This product’s amount could not be read from public sources, so no comparison is possible. | |
| Ashwagandha Extract (Withania somnifera)(roo | shaded = doses used in studies (250 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 600 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.
