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.

Is the dose real?Listing and panel agreeboth say 100 mg of 5-HTP
What a serving costsNo price found for this exact barcode
Is it tested?No testing claim made
Who’s behind it?USPTO lists 4 owner recordssame brand name, more than one registrant — we don’t choose between them
Is it the real thing?No barcode publishedso it can’t be matched against certification, recall or other retailer records
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.

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. Natrol, LLC recalled a different product on April 8, 2021. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Natrol Melatonin 3 mg, Tab 60 White bottle with purple flip-top cap.…”

Public contextWho is behind it?

Registered owner records: NATROL, INC. · Natrol, Inc. · Natrol LLC

The public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.

Evidence and sources

USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: NATROL, INC., Natrol, Inc., Natrol LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel

The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.

Evidence and sources

The listing claims 100 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) at 100 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 2 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.

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

We can see 3 of this product’s 367 reviews — the count rose between August 8, 2025 and July 15, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 364 to 367 between August 8, 2025 and July 15, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 2, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
