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.
Panel, decoded

component totalWe did the comparison: the per-serving claim uses 1.4 g, which equals Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Powder (root) 800 mg + KSM-66 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Extract (root) 600 mg. It is a combined amount, not the amount of one ingredient. The full listed active total is 4.87105 g including the other panel rows. This explains the label framing; it does not independently test the contents.

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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out3
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Found on the brand's own store
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Force Factor Amazing Ashwa Tablets, with KSM-66® Ashwagandha Supplement, for Stress Relief, Relaxation, Memory, Focus & Immune Support, 120 Count” (variant: Default Title) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
Open Food Facts resolves 818594017331 to "Amazing Ashwa" (Force Factor) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
What needs caution3
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Dose is higher than studies used
label claims 1400 mg/serving — above 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.
The listing says 1,400 mg of ashwagandha; the panel says 800 mg
We could not find an explanation for the difference — no blend, extract ratio, compound form or multi-capsule serving accounts for it. You are getting 800 mg of ashwagandha per serving. Worth asking the brand which number describes the capsule you swallow.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing9
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Listing and photo-read panel need confirmation
The listing says 1.4 g, while our photo read produced Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Powder (root) at 800 mg per serving. OCR can confuse small units and digits, so this remains unresolved until checked against the physical label.
Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: Hungry Fish Media, LLC, Force Factor Brands LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Cost to reach a studied dose
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (250–600 mg), this product runs roughly $16 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how ashwagandha, maca root, zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha, PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial.
Certified by NSF — contents and contaminants checked
Force Factor, LLC appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 6 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
Public label filing not saved
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.
No recall found — which is not the same as being tested
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 85 on 2025-07-08 to 128 on 2026-07-24 (net +43). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Answered by the panel: the 1.4 g listing number equals Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Powder (root) 800 mg + KSM-66 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Extract (root) 600 mg. What lot-specific document confirms those listed amounts?
The panel resolves what the headline number includes. The remaining question is whether the product in hand matches those listed amounts; ask for a lot-specific certificate of analysis.
2
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.
3
Which specific study supports this claim — and was it run on this exact formula?
Ask for the citation, how many people took part, the dose used, and whether the study tested this product or just one ingredient in it. Ingredient research is not product evidence.
4
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.
5
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
6
What is the amount of each ingredient inside the proprietary blend?
A blend total tells you nothing about whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research. Brands may decline — that answer is informative too.
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
1
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.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 818594017331.
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.
3
Look the product up yourself in NSF’s certified-products registry.
Search “Force Factor, LLC” at info.nsf.org — certification covers contents and contaminants, not effectiveness.
4
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
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…PREMIUM QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST: Force Factor Amazing Ashwa Tablets deliver clinically studied ingredients in a powerful daily formula.…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Quality-testing claim “…Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, rigorously tested for purity and potency.…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, the NSF/ANSI 173 certified-products registry, any linked COA or test report; IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. The exact brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report. Under NSF/ANSI 173, NSF lists Force Factor, LLC products, including Force Factor® Creatine Monohydrate Gummies, Assorted Flavors, but not this exact SKU. 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. |
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP-Compliant Facilities…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check. |
| Origin claim “…Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, rigorously tested for purity and potency.…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…AMAZING FOR MIND & BODY: Ashwagandha has long been used to help relieve stress, support energy, and promote cognitive performance.…” | 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 1400 mg/serving — above 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?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Powder (roo | shaded = doses used in studies (250 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 800 mg — above the studied range |
| Black Maca (Lepidium meyenii) Extract (root) | shaded = doses used in studies (1.5 g–3 g) · bar = this label | 100 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 15 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.
