MODERATE public verifiability
Caution — unverified claims Ingredient amounts are hidden inside a blend. Evidence availability only; this does not establish safety or effectiveness.
4 of 6 public trust signals found · 1 product-specific concern · $0.27 per serving
The short read
The label states this product contains 26 mg of iron per serving, which matches the amount listed on the Supplement Facts panel. This means the listing and the product's ingredient list agree on the iron content. However, the exact amounts of other ingredients within the "Food Blend" are not individually specified, so we can't know those precise quantities. You can verify the Supplement Facts panel by comparing the image shown on the product page to the official listing in the NIH's Dietary Supplement Label Database.
Why this result?
We ran this product through public-record checks — label math, barcode registries, FDA recall lists, published lab tests. This banner sums up what those checks could and couldn’t confirm. Green means nothing public contradicted the label — not proof it works or is safe. Gray means the data to check simply isn’t public: a gap, not a verdict. We show the evidence; the conclusion is yours.
Confirmed evidence
What checked out01
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Documented concerns
What needs caution01
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Ingredient amounts hidden in a blend
The panel lists “Food Blend” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing04
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Listing claim matches the label panel
The listing claims 26 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate) at 26 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
This brand had a recall in the past (now closed)
The public record binds this recall through product_brand_title; FDA lists the case as Terminated. FoodState, Inc recalled it on 2016-04-15: “Multi Vitamin label fails to have required warning statement for iron and child resistant cap”. The recalled product was: “MegaFood Multi for Women 40+, Multivitamin & Mineral Dietary Supplement packaged in glass bottles UPC:5149410321 -Packaged 60 tablets; UPC:5149410322 -Packaged 120 tablets” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,600 on 2026-01-28 to 1,713 on 2026-07-21 (net +113). 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 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
Which specific study supports this claim — and was it run on this exact formula?
Ask for the citation, how many people took part, the dose used, and whether the study tested this product or just one ingredient in it. Ingredient research is not product evidence.
2
What is the product’s UPC or GTIN?
The barcode is how a product gets matched to outside records — certification registries, label databases, recall data. Without it, almost nothing can be cross-checked.
3
What is the amount of each ingredient inside the proprietary blend?
A blend total tells you nothing about whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research. Brands may decline — that answer is informative too.
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
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.
