“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.

Checked against public sources on July 27, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.
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.
“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. Metagenics, Inc. recalled a different product on July 3, 2014. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “UltraBalance Protein Powder, Net Wt. 14.8 oz (420g)”. …

Dose and research context
The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.
Ashwagandha
50 mg per serving — below the 250–600 mg/day used in the linked studies.
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 50 mg of ashwagandha per serving. Studies we found used 250 mg–600 mg a day, so this sits below that range.
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
