What is worth knowing.

Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.

Needs explanationIs the label honest?

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.

Needs explanationIs the label honest?

Vitamin 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.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 6 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 · 811067031780.

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

Evidence and sources

UPCitemdb resolves 811067031780 to "Viva Naturals Elderberry 5-in-1 Immune Support Supplement with Vitamin C & Zinc " (Viva Naturals) — consistent with this listing.

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

10 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 10 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.
