Every ingredient 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.

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.
Panel, decoded
What the label discloses
16listed rows
16separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 16 listed 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 | 30 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 listed “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 listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-2.5-flash Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out3
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Bosley, Inc. (CORPORATION) in DELAWARE, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
The review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 213 to 239 between August 30, 2025 and August 26, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 5, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution0
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
What is still missing5
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
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.
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.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 212 on 2025-08-15 to 239 on 2026-08-26 (net +27). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Package and trademark records name different responsible entitie
The package says manufactured for: Scientific Hair Research LLC, Los Angeles, CA 90066. USPTO names Bosley, Inc. as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.
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
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.
2
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.
3
Were the endorsing professionals compensated, and what exactly did they review?
An endorsement can be genuine and still not mean the product was tested. Ask whether they reviewed the formula, the manufacturing, or only the marketing.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Professional-endorsement claim “…Vegan, sulfate-free, paraben-free & phthalate-free All Bosley Pro products are Bosley Inc Doctor recommended Provides color and thermal protection No animal testing Prom” | 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 “…Vegan, sulfate-free, paraben-free & phthalate-free All Bosley Pro products are Bosley Inc Doctor recommended Provides color and thermal protection No animal testing Prom” | 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. 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?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| 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.
