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.
We did the comparison: the listing claims 10 g of collagen peptide complex (from hydrolyzed collage type i & iii)(bovine), and the listing-image panel shows 10 g collagen peptide complex (from hydrolyzed collage type i & iii)(bovine) 10 grams (1 scoop). Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
USPTO lists Maxwell Nutrition LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in Illinois, USA for the listing brand wordmark “Black Girl Vitamins”. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product. The saved package uses a different brand name, so this owner record does not settle who owns that package branding.
Open Food Facts resolves 860008575098 to "collagen peptides" (black girl vitamins) — consistent with this listing.
Written reviews grew from 1047 to 1257 across 2026-04-16 – 2026-07-15 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~80).
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The exact product listing names “Black Girl Vitamins,” while the saved package/panel image reads “BGV.” This can reflect a product line, catalog error, changed listing, or different packaging; it does not prove substitution. Confirm the package identity before applying ownership or other brand-level records to this product.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Technical check only: the panel’s 1 actives sum to 10,000 mg, which fits inside the ≈10,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
46 servings × 10 g = 460 g, matching the printed net weight 454 g (Net Wt. 16 oz (1 lb) 454 grams). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Published sources describe how collagen peptides 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.
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.
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.
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.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 0 on 2026-04-02 to 1,257 on 2026-07-15 (net +1,257). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Answered by the panel: 10 g of the 10 g headline is collagen. Which independent lab can confirm that amount in this product?
The panel resolves the front-label arithmetic. The remaining question is lot-specific contents and stability; published category testing gives context, not a test of this product.
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.
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
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.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 860008575098.
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.
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
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Origin claim “…ries 10g Collagen 0g Sugar EFFECTIVE RESULTS MADE IN THE USA BLACK- OWNED NON-GMO Zero Sugar Gluten Free…” | 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 “…only designed to reduce fine lines, but also support stronger, thicker, and shinier hair. 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗛𝘆…” | 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
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Collagen Peptide Complex (from Hydrolyzed Co | shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label | 10 g — within 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.
