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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 5 declared 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) | 150 mg | — | |
| Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) | 2.5 mg | — | |
| Proteases, cellulase, serrapeptase | 200 mg | — | |
| Bacillus coagulans+, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces boulardii | 2 billion CFUs | — | |
| Grape seed extract | 25 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “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 declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s 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.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Plexus Worldwide, LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in ARIZONA, 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.
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.
Package and trademark records name different responsible entities
The package says distributed by: Plexus Worldwide®, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. USPTO names Plexus Worldwide, LLC as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the retained records do not establish the relationship.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 141 on 2026-02-08 to 145 on 2026-07-13 (net +4). 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 the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…elps keep intestinal yeast in balance* Helps support a healthy intestinal tract* Supports healthy…” | Not assessed 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 assessed — 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.
Verifiability profile — 1 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.
