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.
We did the comparison: the listing claims 110 mg of choline (as choline citrate), and the listing-image panel shows 110 mg choline (as choline citrate) three capsules. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
USPTO lists Thorne Research, Inc. (CORPORATION) in IDAHO, USA; SOUTH CAROLINA, 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.
Documented concerns
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
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Marketplace rating not shown★ — rating count unavailable. No exact-listing count history was available, so no review-pattern claim is made.
The listing claims 110 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Choline (as Choline Citrate) at 110 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Published sources describe how magnesium, boron, maca root, 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 — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Thorne® appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 10 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Thorne® Basic Prenatal (Canada)”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Answered by the panel: the 0.11 g listing number equals Thiamin (as Thiamin HCI) 5 mg + Choline (as Choline Citrate) 110 mg. What lot-specific document confirms those listed amounts?
The panel resolves what the headline number includes. The remaining question is whether the product in hand matches those listed amounts; ask for a lot-specific certificate of analysis.
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.
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
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.
Look the product up yourself in NSF’s certified-products registry.
Search “Thorne®” at info.nsf.org — certification covers contents and contaminants, not effectiveness.
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
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…to ensure a mother's health and nutritional support are being optimized. Thorne’s Basic Prenatal…” | 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
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (as DiMagnesium Malate) | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 90 mg — below the studied range |
| Boron (as Bororganic™™ Boron Glycinate Compl | shaded = doses used in studies (3 mg–10 mg) · bar = this label | 1 mg — below the studied range |
| Calcium (as DimaCal® DiCalcium Malate)†† | shaded = doses used in studies (1.5 g–3 g) · bar = this label | 180 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc (as TRAACS® Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate)† | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 25 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
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 — 3 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.

Related research & consistency
magnesium — NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet · PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation · WebMD: magnesium · ClinicalTrials.gov — 3,206 registered studies

boron — NIH ODS — Boron fact sheet · PubMed search: boron supplementation testosterone · ClinicalTrials.gov — 989 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily oral use; short-term human studies report hormone-marker changes, with effects on testosterone reported inconsistently across trials.
maca root — PubMed search: Lepidium meyenii randomized trial · NIH NCCIH — Maca · ClinicalTrials.gov — 9 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: studied for libido-related endpoints; research generally does not show testosterone changes — the two are often conflated in marketing.
