?Couldn’t verify independently2

“IN”

“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.

Evidence →
“lab tested for quality and”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page repeats a testing claim but names no issuer; its UPC is not published. 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.

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

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

CheckedIs the label honest?

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel

The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.

Evidence and sources

The listing claims 50 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Zinc (as zinc picolinate) at 50 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 11 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.

Public contextWill you get what you pay for?

Reaching a studied dose costs about $120/month

Comparing cost at a research-relevant amount shows how quickly the package is used and what the routine actually costs.

Evidence and sources

At 30.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (1500–3000 mg), this product runs roughly $120 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.

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

50 mg per serving — above the 8–40 mg/day used in the linked studies.

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 50 mg of maca root per serving. Studies we found used 1.5 g–3 g a day, so this sits below that range.

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.

The brand-page price is shown as a shopping lead only. It is excluded from the exact-product price difference because the page does not publish this record's matching UPC/GTIN.

The observed listing and related brand page repeat 50 mg, 240 capsules. That confirms cross-page consistency of the published claim, not the product contents.
