Does the marketing hold up?

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.

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.…”

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 10 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.

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 200 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 5 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

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