This product can't be verified from public data Neither good nor bad — the checks below show what this listing publishes and what it withholds. Verifiable products publish more. Evidence availability only; this does not establish safety or effectiveness.
1 of 6 public trust signals found · 0 product-specific concerns
This product's ingredient amounts are listed separately, not hidden in a blend, allowing for comparison to research. This means you can see how much of each ingredient is present, but it's not an indication of the product's effectiveness or overall validation. We couldn't check the authenticity of customer reviews from this listing. You can verify the product's net weight (5 LB or 2.3 kg) by comparing the number of servings times the serving size to what's printed on the packaging.
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (prebiotic fiber). For example, prebiotic fiber: daily use; effects build over weeks as gut flora shift. Sources: NIH ODS — Fiber overview (MVMS context), PubMed search: inulin prebiotic randomized trial.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Technical check only: the panel’s 6 actives sum to 1,770 mg, which fits inside the ≈34,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
67 servings × 34 g = 2278 g, matching the printed net weight 2300 g (NET WT 5 LB (2.3 kg)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
The public record binds this recall through product_brand_title; FDA lists the case as Terminated. Belmont Confections Inc recalled it on 2013-01-15: “Belmont was notified by their customer, Dymatize, that a consumer complained on an allergic reaction after eating the product. The consumer is allergic to peanuts & peanut protein.”. The recalled product was: “DYMATIZE NUTRITION ELITE Gourmet Cookies & Cream 6-LAYER HI-PROTEIN BAR Label reads in part "NET WT***INGREDIENTS: Elite Protein Blend***Distributed by: Dymatize Enterprises, Inc. ” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 635 on 2026-01-28 to 687 on 2026-07-14 (net +52). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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
Ask the brand or seller
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.
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
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
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.
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.

Want to know if this changes?
Supplements are repeat purchases. Formulas get reformulated, lots get recalled, brands finally publish the lab report they were asked for. We can watch this record and email you only if something changes.
Your address is used for this one purpose. No newsletter, no marketing, no third parties, no tracking pixels — and every email carries a one-click unsubscribe that needs no login. We store the address, the record, and the date. Nothing else.
