MODERATE public verifiability
This product can't be verified from public data Neither good nor bad — the checks below show what this listing publishes and what it withholds. Verifiable products publish more. Evidence availability only; this does not establish safety or effectiveness.
3 of 6 public trust signals found · 1 product-specific concern
The short read
This product is NSF certified, meaning the testing verified the ingredients present are what's listed and they meet contaminant limits. This certification covers the product's identity and quantity of ingredients, but not its effectiveness. You can verify the NSF listing for this product on the NSF website.
Why this result?
We ran this product through public-record checks — label math, barcode registries, FDA recall lists, published lab tests. This banner sums up what those checks could and couldn’t confirm. Green means nothing public contradicted the label — not proof it works or is safe. Gray means the data to check simply isn’t public: a gap, not a verdict. We show the evidence; the conclusion is yours.
Confirmed evidence
What checked out03
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
✓
Taken the way the research studied it
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (turmeric / curcumin, ashwagandha, collagen peptides, maca root). For example, turmeric / curcumin: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.

Documented concerns
What needs caution01
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
!
Ingredient amounts hidden in a blend
The panel lists “Synergen Complex® Plus (Patented)” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
Caution
Unresolved public record
What is still missing02
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
…
Reviews not analysed yet
Marketplace rating 4.2★ across 15,817 ratings. Authenticity not analysed: burst, purge and stockout patterns need price/review history.
No data

Listed amounts fit the serving
Technical check only: the panel’s 12 actives sum to 2,617 mg, which fits inside the ≈9,639 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
No data
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
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.
2
Were the endorsing professionals compensated, and what exactly did they review?
An endorsement can be genuine and still not mean the product was tested. Ask whether they reviewed the formula, the manufacturing, or only the marketing.
3
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 851801008043.
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
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.
