Does the marketing hold up?
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside “Proprietary Complex”. The panel lists “Proprietary Complex” (500 mg) as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
Is the dose real?✓Listing and panel agreeboth say 1,000 mg of Vitamin C
What a serving costsNo price found for this exact barcode
Is it tested?No testing claim made
Who’s behind it?🇺🇸Alacer Corporationcorporation; limited liability company · CALIFORNIA, USA; DELAWARE, USA
Is it the real thing?No barcode publishedso it can’t be matched against certification, recall or other retailer records
Trouble on record?Recall check not run yeta gap in our records, not a finding about the 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.

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 1 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid, zinc ascorbate) at 1 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

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 60 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 1 g of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits above 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.
