The short read
This supplement lists Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) as an ingredient. Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that studies suggest is well-absorbed by the body. What this means is that the form of magnesium used aligns with how it has been studied, but this does not confirm the product's overall effectiveness. The label states there are 90 capsules per container, and the serving size is 1 capsule, meaning you get 90 servings. You can verify the number of servings by checking the "Supplement Facts" panel on the bottle against the number of capsules it contains.
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 out02
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
✓
Taken the way the research studied it
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (magnesium). For example, magnesium: daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Confirmed
✓
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.

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 missing04
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
…
The listing doesn't publish enough to check the math
What this means: the listing doesn't publish net weight, per-serving dose, servings per container, so the dose claim can't be checked against physics from public data. That's neither a pass nor a strike — but it does mean you're taking the label on faith. Checkable products publish these numbers.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Pure Encapsulations, Inc. recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2017-11-17: “Product contains undeclared sulfites.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Pure Encapsulations Systemic Enzyme Complex DIETARY SUPPLEMENT 180 CAPSULES UPC: 7 66298 00862 2” — 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 2,858 on 2026-01-26 to 3,469 on 2026-07-15 (net +611). 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
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.
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.
