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
2listed rows
1separately quantified
1combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes 1 separately quantified row and 1 combined blend total. Ingredients inside a blend do not have separate amounts.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herbal Extract Blend | 350 mg mg | — | |
| Withanolides | 2.5 mg 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-flash-1.5 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 Gaia Herbs, 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.
Reviews accumulated gradually
Written reviews grew from 298 to 305 across 2026-02-07 – 2026-07-16 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~4).
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing3
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Panel amounts are awaiting a clearer image read
The current image extraction saved 2 ingredient name(s) but no usable amounts. This is a LookCloser processing gap, not evidence that the brand withheld the numbers; dose arithmetic is withheld until the panel is re-read.
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 297 on 2026-01-28 to 305 on 2026-07-16 (net +8). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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
Which specific study supports this claim — and was it run on this exact formula?
Ask for the citation, how many people took part, the dose used, and whether the study tested this product or just one ingredient in it. Ingredient research is not product evidence.
2
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.
3
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.
4
What is the amount of each ingredient inside the proprietary blend?
A blend total tells you nothing about whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research. Brands may decline — that answer is informative too.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…30 Servings) Stress & Sleep Supplement: In a clinical study, healthy participants saw an improvement in…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Origin claim “…saw an overall improvement in stress scores* Made in the USA with Global Ingredients for purity, quality,…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root 350 mg - Supports Balanced Energy Levels & Positive Outlook*-…” | Not checked yet We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient-level evidence for this formula isn’t in our knowledge base yet. Recorded as not checked yet — not as a negative. |
“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.

Where it sells
A brand storefront was found, but no exact-product price was published or matched to this exact product at build time.
Brand store gaiaherbs.com: 110 supplement products (+1 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.

No knowledge-base entry yet for this formula's active ingredients — entries are added as the KB grows. Absence of a science card is a coverage gap, not a judgment.
