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

The 6 mg biotin claim matches the panel

MARKETING6 mg — listing title
PANELBiotin 6 mg — same amount
matches panel

We did the comparison: the listing claims 6 mg of biotin, and the listing-image panel shows 6 mg biotin 2 gummies. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

Mass check · assumptions shown
4 g listed contents = 0 g major actives + 4 g carbohydrate
Assume 4 pectin gummies × 2.5–3.5 g each = 10–14 g serving. That leaves roughly 0–2 g for water, pectin, sweetener, acid, and flavor. Serving weight is not printed, so this is a warning, not a closed impossibility.

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.

Exact trademark owner identified

USPTO lists Maxwell Nutrition LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in Illinois, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.

Confirmed

Found on the brand's own store

The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Hair, Skin & Nails” (variant: 1 Month Supply) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

Confirmed

Reviews accumulated gradually

Written reviews grew from 302 to 422 across 2026-01-29 – 2026-07-21 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~49).

Confirmed

Documented concerns

What needs caution1

These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.

!

Listed contents barely fit the format’s physics

Listed contents total at least 4 g per 4-gummy serving: 0 g of major actives plus 4 g carbohydrate. A typical pectin gummy is assumed here to weigh 2.5–3.5 g, making a 4-gummy serving roughly 10–14 g. The panel does not state serving weight, so this remains a warning: the listed contents barely fit the format’s physics. The 2.5–3.5 g gummy assumption is not a measurement.

Caution

Unresolved public record

What is still missing7

We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.

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.

No data

Research context is available for the listed ingredients

Published sources describe how collagen peptides, zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: PubMed search: collagen peptide supplementation trial, WebMD search: collagen.

No data

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Vitalabs, Inc. recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2025-06-13: “Undeclared Peanuts. The firm was notified by their supplier, that the product may contain undeclared peanuts.” (status: Completed). The recalled product was: “vitamins B12 dietary supplement Raspberry Flavored sold under the following brand names: 1. Black Girl Vitamins 60 gummies UPC 8 60008 57505 0 Manufactured for: Black Girl Vitam” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.

No data

Public label filing not saved

This record does not currently hold an matched to this exact product public label filing for the exact product. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that no filing exists.

No data

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.

No data

180-day review-count history is on file

Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 299 on 2026-01-28 to 422 on 2026-07-21 (net +123). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.

No data

UPC valid, no independent record

Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.

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

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.

2

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.

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 860007945564.

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.

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.
ClaimStatusWhat we found
Origin claim
“…ree, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E - Gluten-Free. Made in The USA (Passion Fruit, 60 Count) 30 Day Supply Prom…”
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
“…USA (Passion Fruit, 60 Count) 30 Day Supply Promotes Stronger Hair & Nails-Formulated with 6,000…”
Partly supported
We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research
Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

“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?’
IngredientWhere this label sitsReading
Collagen (piscine)
shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label
12 mg — below the studied range
Zinc (as zinc citrate)
shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label
2.7 mg — below 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.

Documented cautions
