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 listing amount and panel row need explanation
MARKETING200 mg — per-serving claim
PANELCurcumin Extract Powder (Curcuma longa)(root) (containing 380 mg curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin) 400 mg — panel readCurcumin Extract Powder (Curcuma longa)(root) (containing 380 mg curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin) 400 mg
amount differsWe compared the listing claim (200 mg) with the panel row (400 mg curcumin extract powder (curcuma longa)(root) (containing 380 mg curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin)). They do not match within the report tolerance; the source label or serving basis needs checking.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curcumin Extract Powder (Curcuma longa)(root) (containing 380 mg curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin) | 400 mg | — |
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.

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.
Confirmed
Every ingredient amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Designs for Health, Inc. (CORPORATION) in CONNECTICUT, USA; DELAWARE, 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.
Documented concerns
What needs caution2
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Dose is lower than studies used
label claims 200 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (studies typically use 500–2,000 mg/day of curcuminoids). A lower dose is not necessarily useless — but it is not the amount the research used. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.
The listing says 200 mg of curcumin; the panel says 400 mg
We could not find an explanation for the difference — no blend, extract ratio, compound form or multi-capsule serving accounts for it. You are getting 400 mg of curcumin per serving. Worth asking the brand which number describes the capsule you swallow.
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.
Listing and photo-read panel need confirmation
The listing says 200 mg, while our photo read produced Curcumin Extract Powder (Curcuma longa)(root) (containing 380 mg curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin) at 380 mg per serving. OCR can confuse small units and digits, so this remains unresolved until checked against the physical label.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how turmeric / curcumin have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.
Certified by NSF — contents and contaminants checked
Designs for Health appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 10 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Curcumin Complex”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
Public label filing not saved
We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.
No recall found — which is not the same as being tested
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 34 on 2025-10-02 to 37 on 2026-07-22 (net +3). 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
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
Why is the turmeric / curcumin amount below the dose used in published research?
There can be good answers — a more bioavailable form, a different intended use. Ask for the reasoning and any data behind it.
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 879452004719.
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
Look the product up yourself in NSF’s certified-products registry.
Search “Designs for Health” at info.nsf.org — certification covers contents and contaminants, not effectiveness.
4
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.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check. |
| Benefit claim “…Supports Improved Curcumin Absorption - Manufactured using the natural, patent pending Evail process to helps optimize the absorption of curcumin by the body.…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 200 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (studies typically use 500–2,000 mg/day of curcuminoids). |
“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?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Curcumin Extract Powder (Curcuma longa)(root | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–2 g) · bar = this label | 400 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.

ℹ Dosage: label claims 200 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (studies typically use 500–2,000 mg/day of curcuminoids).
ℹ Use pattern in research: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form.
