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 16 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (as Retinyl Acetate) | 375 mcg RAE | — | |
| Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) | 10 mcg | — | |
| Vitamin E (22.5 mg dl-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate) | 11.25 mg | — | |
| Niacin (as niacinamide) | 25 mg NE | — | |
| Folate (from Calcium-L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) | 334 mcg DFE | — | |
| Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) | 6 mcg | — | |
| Biotin | 300 mcg | — | |
| Zinc (as zinc citrate) | 10 mg | — | |
| Copper (as copper gluconate) | 1 mg | — | |
| L-Lysine HCI | 75 mg | — | |
| L-Cysteine | 50 mg | — | |
| Citrus bioflavonoids (Citrus aurantium) (fruit) | 50 mg | — | |
| Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) (whole herb) (7% Silica) | 30 mg | — | |
| Methylsulfonylmethane | 50 mg | — | |
| Flax seed (Linum usitatissimum) | 20 mg | — | |
| L-Proline | 25 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
Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts
The panel carries these quoted observations: “Vitamin A (as Retinyl Acetate) has no unit”; “Niacin (as niacinamide) has no unit”; “Folate (from Calcium-L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) has no unit”. US-market labels are produced under cGMP controls; these are template or translation artifacts worth checking, not proof that the label is fabricated or that the product is unsafe.
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 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 ODS — Zinc fact sheet, PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 221 on 2026-01-27 to 237 on 2026-07-16 (net +16). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Professional-endorsement claim “…-free All Bosley Pro products are Bosley Inc Doctor recommended Provides color and thermal protection No ani…” | Marketing credential We looked for: who the professionals are, whether they were compensated, and what the endorsement covers | A professional endorsement is a marketing credential, not clinical evidence. Public sources don’t establish who was consulted, whether they were paid, or what specifically they reviewed. |
| Benefit claim “…lor and thermal protection No animal testing Promotes healthy hair growth Note: Date provided on t…” | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc (as zinc citrate) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 10 mg — within 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 — 2 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.
