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.

Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product

“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.

The checks, one by one

1 promise needs a closer look.

Partly confirmed1

“multivitamin with methylfolate (800 mcg), vitamins A‑K, and chelated minerals—including gentle iron bisglycinate (18 mg)—to support daily wellness…”

Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

Claimed without support found1

“the #1 Doctor Recommended Professional Supplement Brand, Metagenics delivers clinically proven, precision-crafted formulas to support your health…”

We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product.

Evidence →

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“and gluten‑free tablets for adults; produced in a cGMP‑certified facility and third‑party tested for purity and potency for quality you can”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

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. Metagenics, Inc. recalled a different product on July 3, 2014. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “UltraBalance Protein Powder, Net Wt. 14.8 oz (420g)”. …

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 25 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 40 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits below that range.

0studied 200 mg–420 mg

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 15 mg of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits inside 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.
