Checked against public sources between July 23 and July 24, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.
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.

We read 3 lines from the package photograph. It is our transcript of the label, not the manufacturer’s panel, and it may be incomplete.
The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.
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.

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
This recall is not about the product on this page. Novartis Consumer Health recalled a different product on August 6, 2013. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Benefiber, Fiber plus Calcium Supplement, Wild Berry Chewables 90ct, sugar free, chewable tablets…”
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingEvery ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingA count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Written reviews rose from 54 to 56 between August 12 and August 16, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 2, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
