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 listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 8 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Sugars | <1 g | — | |
| Includes <1g Added Sugars | <1 g | — | |
| Magnesium (from Magnesium Citrate) | 50 mg | — | |
| Chloride (from Ancient Sea Salt) | 375 mg | — | |
| Sodium (from Ancient Sea Salt) | 250 mg | — | |
| Potassium (from Potassium Citrate) | 100 mg | — | |
| Creatine Monohydrate | 5 g | — | |
| ConcenTrace® Trace Minerals (CTM) (from concentrated seawater) | 100 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
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
USPTO lists Trace Minerals Research, L.C. (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in UTAH, 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.
Written reviews rose from 15 to 26 between June 19 and July 28, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 8, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The listing uses “pre-workout” framing, but published research attributes creatine monohydrate’s effect to studied as a daily supplement — the effect comes from muscle saturation over weeks, not from timing a dose before a workout. Sources: NIH ODS — Exercise & Athletic Performance fact sheet, Creatine stability by moisture and temperature (PubMed).
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Technical check only: the panel’s 6 actives sum to 6,625 mg, which fits inside the ≈8,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
30 servings × 8 g = 240 g, matching the printed net weight 240 g (8.47 OZ (240 G)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Published sources describe how creatine monohydrate, 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.
This recall is not about the product on this page. Mineralife LLC recalled a different product on October 15, 2018. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Trace Minerals Dietary Supplement , 16.2 fl oz (480 mL) bottles, Packaged in dark blue plastic bottles, For freshness, keep refrigerated after opening”. FDA recorded the reason as “The dietary supplement product is potentially contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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.
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.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 2 on 2026-06-04 to 26 on 2026-07-28 (net +24). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
The package says distributed by: Trace Minerals®, P.O. Box 429 • Roy, Utah 84067 USA. USPTO names Trace Minerals Research, L.C. as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
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
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.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 810201740090.
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.
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
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Third Party Tested…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Benefit claim “…Supplement Formulation: Creatine and electrolytes work synergistically to support muscles and brain health, athletic performance, and hydration* while a full spectrum of” | 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
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Creatine Monohydrate | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–5 g) · bar = this label | 5 g — within the studied range |
| Magnesium (from Magnesium Citrate) | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 50 mg — below 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.

ℹ Use pattern in research: studied as a daily supplement — the effect comes from muscle saturation over weeks, not from timing a dose before a workout.
⚠ Consistency note: the listing markets “pre-workout” framing, but published research attributes this ingredient's effect to sustained daily use — the marketing frame and the research mechanism don't line up.
magnesium — NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet · PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation · WebMD: magnesium · ClinicalTrials.gov — 3,206 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold.
These notes state where label numbers and marketing framing sit relative to published research — documentation for your own judgment, not medical advice. LookCloser does not advise for or against taking any supplement.
