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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 8 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) | 750 mg | — | |
| Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) | 125 mcg | — | |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | 60 mg | — | |
| Black Elderberry Fruit Powder (Sambucus nigra) | 500 mg | — | |
| Echinacea purpurea Powder (Whole Plant) | 50 mg | — | |
| Ginger Root Powder (Zingiber officinale) | 20 mg | — | |
| Turmeric Root Powder (Curcuma longa) | 10 mg | — | |
| Ashwagandha Root Powder (Withania somnifera) | 10 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “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; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s 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.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how turmeric / curcumin, ashwagandha, zinc 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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 252 on 2026-01-27 to 288 on 2026-07-17 (net +36). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Each batch undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency, ensuring you receive a high-quality product…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: a named laboratory, a certificate of analysis, or a certification-registry entry | No named laboratory, no certificate of analysis, and no certification-registry entry matching this product was located. |
| Manufacturing claim “…Made in the USA - Proudly manufactured in a GMP certified facility in the USA, our capsules…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located. |
| Origin claim “…ou stay healthy year-round. Premium Quality, Made in the USA - Proudly manufactured in a GMP certified fa…” | 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 “VITBOOST Elderberry Immune Support Supplement 8 in 1 with Vitamin D 5000 IU Sam…” | 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
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Turmeric Root Powder (Curcuma longa) | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–2 g) · bar = this label | 10 mg — below the studied range |
| Ashwagandha Root Powder (Withania somnifera) | shaded = doses used in studies (250 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 10 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 60 mg — above 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.
Documented cautions
- zinc — daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice
Statements from published sources about these ingredients — not advice about this product, and not a complete safety review. Anyone taking medication should talk to a pharmacist or clinician.
Verifiability profile — 1 of 6 public signals

Related research & consistency
turmeric / curcumin — NIH NCCIH — Turmeric · PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine · WebMD: turmeric · ClinicalTrials.gov — 286 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form.
ashwagandha — NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha · PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial · WebMD: ashwagandha · ClinicalTrials.gov — 78 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily use over 6–12 weeks in studies; extract concentration matters (root powder ≠ standardized extract).
zinc — NIH ODS — Zinc fact sheet · PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial · ClinicalTrials.gov — 1,598 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice.
