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
8listed rows
8separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 8 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) | 750 mg | — | |
| Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) | 125 mcg | — | |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | 60 mg | — | |
| Black Elderberry Fruit Powder (Sambucus nigra) | 500 mg | — | |
| Echinacea purpurea Powder (Whole Plant) | 50 mg | — | |
| Ginger Root Powder (Zingiber officinale) | 20 mg | — | |
| Turmeric Root Powder (Curcuma longa) | 10 mg | — | |
| Ashwagandha Root Powder (Withania somnifera) | 10 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 Gurin Products, LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in CALIFORNIA, USA; WASHINGTON, 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 191 to 281 between August 6, 2025 and August 25, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 26, 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 turmeric / curcumin, ashwagandha, 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 NCCIH — Turmeric, PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine.
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 200 on 2025-07-30 to 281 on 2026-08-25 (net +81). 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: Fresh Leaf Nutrition, 2522 Chambers Rd, Suite 100 Tustin, CA-92780. USPTO names Gurin Products, LLC 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
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
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
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.
4
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Each batch undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency, ensuring you receive a high-quality product you can trust.…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Manufacturing claim “…Premium Quality, Made in the USA - Proudly manufactured in a GMP certified facility in the USA, our capsules adhere to rigorous quality standards.…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “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. |
| Origin claim “…Premium Quality, Made in the USA - Proudly manufactured in a GMP certified facility in the USA, our capsules adhere to rigorous quality standards.…” | 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 “VITBOOST Elderberry Immune Support Supplement 8 in 1 with Vitamin D 5000 IU…” | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Turmeric Root Powder (Curcuma longa) | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–2 g) · bar = this label | 10 mg — below the studied range |
| Ashwagandha Root Powder (Withania somnifera) | shaded = doses used in studies (250 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 10 mg — below the studied range |
| Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 60 mg — above 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.

Related research & consistency
turmeric / curcumin — NIH NCCIH — Turmeric · PubMed search: curcumin bioavailability piperine · WebMD: turmeric · ClinicalTrials.gov — 286 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: plain curcumin absorbs poorly — most positive trials pair it with piperine (black pepper) or a bioavailability-enhanced form.
ashwagandha — NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha · PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial · WebMD: ashwagandha · ClinicalTrials.gov — 78 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily use over 6–12 weeks in studies; extract concentration matters (root powder ≠ standardized extract).
zinc — NIH ODS — Zinc fact sheet · PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial · ClinicalTrials.gov — 1,598 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily oral use; sustained high intakes can interfere with copper absorption — a documented interaction, not advice.
