FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Evidence →Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history
An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
Evidence and sources
This recall is not about the product on this page. Vitalabs, Inc. recalled a different product on June 13, 2025. FDA lists that case as Completed. The recalled item was “vitamins B12 dietary supplement Raspberry Flavored sold under the following brand names: 1.…”
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingNeeds explanationIs the label honest?
The label says 4 g of biotin in 4 gummies — but not what those 4 gummies weigh
That weight is the one number that would let anyone check the amount on the front. We did not weigh it ourselves, so this is an open question, not a problem we found.
Evidence and sources
A serving is 4 gummies, and the panel lists 4,000 mg — 4 g — of biotin in that serving. What the panel doesn’t give is the one number needed to check it: what a serving weighs. Gummies of this type usually run somewhere around 2.5 to 3.5 grams each, which would put 4 of them…

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 6 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Biotin at 6 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Every ingredient shows its amount · 18 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.

The barcode identity checks out · 860007945564.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Hair, Skin & Nails” (variant: 1 Month Supply) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedCan you trust the review pattern?
Reviews rose from 152 to 429 between August 7, 2025 and August 28, 2026 — no sudden jump.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 152 to 429 between August 7, 2025 and August 28, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 71, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

- We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
- Barcode checksum is valid; no independent product record was found.
These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
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 12 mg of collagen peptides per serving. Studies we found used 2.5 g–15 g a day, so this sits below that range.
0studied 2.5 g–15 g
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
The panel lists 3 mg of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits below that range.
0studied 8 mg–40 mg
