Every ingredient 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.

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
What the label discloses
6listed rows
6separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 6 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 15 | — | |
| Total Carbohydrate | 3 g | — | |
| Total Sugars | 3 g | — | |
| Includes 3g of Added Sugars | 3 g | — | |
| Sodium | 10 mg | — | |
| Melatonin | 10 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.

Every check we ran

These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.

What needs caution0
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing8
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: Piping Rock Health Products, LLC, PRIPD, LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how melatonin 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 — Melatonin, PubMed search: melatonin dose sleep onset.
Certified by NSF — contents and contaminants checked
Piping Rock Health Products Inc. DBA Nature's Truth appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 5 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Fast Dissolve Melatonin 5 mg”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
This recall is not about the product on this page. Piping Rock Health Products recalled a different product on January 15, 2021. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “FITNESS LABS***Organic***Coconut Oil***Extra Virgin***16 fl. oz. (473 mL)***Carefully Designed and Distributed by Piping Rock Health Products, LLC Ronkonkoma, NY 11779***”. FDA recorded the reason as “Product is potentially contaminated with mold”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 44 on 2026-01-15 to 45 on 2026-01-26 (net +1). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
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
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.
2
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
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 840994132017.
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 “Piping Rock Health Products Inc. DBA Nat” 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Tested for Purity & 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. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. Under NSF/ANSI 173, NSF lists Piping Rock Health Products Inc. DBA Nature's Truth products, including Unflavored Powder Collagen Peptides, 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. |
“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 |
|---|---|---|
| Melatonin | shaded = doses used in studies (0.5 mg–5 mg) · bar = this label | 10 mg — above 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.
