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.

matches panel

We did the comparison: the listing claims 20 mg of melatonin, and the listing-image panel shows 20 mg melatonin 2 gummies. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

Integrity tells · quoted observations

“Calories has no unit”

Mass check · assumptions shown

6 g declared contents = 2 g major actives + 4 g carbohydrate

Assume 4 pectin gummies × 2.5–3.5 g each = 10–14 g serving. That leaves roughly 0–2 g for water, pectin, sweetener, acid, and flavor. Serving weight is not printed, so this is a warning, not a closed impossibility.

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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.

Every check we ran

Melatonin dose is above the studied range

label claims 20 mg/serving — above the range commonly used in research (sleep trials commonly use 0.5–5 mg; higher doses are not shown to work better and gummy products have repeatedly been found to differ from their labels). Sources: NIH NCCIH — Melatonin, PubMed search: melatonin dose sleep onset.

Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts

The panel carries these quoted observations: “Calories has no unit”. US-market labels are produced under cGMP controls; these are template or translation artifacts worth checking, not proof that the label is fabricated or that the product is unsafe.

Declared contents barely fit the format’s physics

Declared contents total at least 6 g per 4-gummy serving: 2 g of major actives plus 4 g carbohydrate. A typical pectin gummy is assumed here to weigh 2.5–3.5 g, making a 4-gummy serving roughly 10–14 g. The panel does not state serving weight, so this remains a warning: the declared contents barely fit the format’s physics. The 2.5–3.5 g gummy assumption is not a measurement.

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel

The listing claims 20 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Melatonin at 20 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Research context is available for the listed ingredients

Published sources describe how melatonin 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 — Melatonin, PubMed search: melatonin dose sleep onset.

Brand ownership record not retained

This record does not hold an exact, supplement-class public ownership record for the brand. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.

180-day review-count history is on file

Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 244 on 2026-01-30 to 293 on 2026-07-08 (net +49). 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?

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
Manufacturing claim “…ium Quality You Can Trust: Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility using carefully selected…”	Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim	Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located.
Benefit claim “…rry, 60 Count \| 20 mg Melatonin Per Serving, Promotes Relaxation & Sleep Support*, Plant-Based, Gl…”	Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research	Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 20 mg/serving — above the range commonly used in research (sleep trials commonly use 0.5–5 mg; higher doses are not shown to work better and gummy products have repeatedly been found to differ from their labels).

“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
Melatonin	shaded = doses used in studies (0.5 mg–5 mg) · bar = this label	20 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.
