Does the marketing hold up?
The label shows a visible consistency problem. Check this exact wording or duplicate row on the package before relying on the printed amount.
“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.

The label shows a visible consistency problem
Check this exact wording or duplicate row on the package before relying on the printed amount.
Evidence and sources
The label visibly shows: “Zinc appears more than once”. This is a specific printing or product-image inconsistency worth checking on the package.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingVitamin D: 125 mcg on the label; adult upper limit 100 mcg.
This serving is about 1.2× the adult upper limit shown by NIH. The limit applies to adults; 100 mcg = 4,000 IU.
Evidence and sources
The panel lists 125 mcg vitamin d. NIH gives 100 mcg as the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level for adults; 100 mcg = 4,000 IU. That is about 1.2 times the limit.

Zinc
10 mg per serving — within the 8–40 mg/day used in the linked studies.
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 10 mg of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits inside that range.
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
