Batch and lot
Verify a Horse Fuel bottle
Everything printed on a Horse Fuel bottle that you can use to check what you have, plus a clear statement of the limits — because a page that implies you can verify a gummy at home would be doing you no favours.
Your bottle should carry a lot number and a best-before date. The pack supplied to this desk gives lot HOR-26/TH-8312 and certificate reference HOR-8312-26-TH, both marked as draft references rather than lab proof, and no best-before date is legible on the images we were shown. There is no public batch lookup for this product and no certificate of analysis document.
What is on your bottle
| Mark | Where it is | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Lot number | Printed or stamped on the label or base | Which production run your bottle came from. Useful if you ever need to report a problem |
| Best-before date | Usually on the label or base | When the manufacturer stops standing behind the potency. Not legible on the images supplied to this desk, so check your own bottle |
| Safety seal | Foil or induction seal under the cap | The label's instruction: do not use if damaged or missing |
| Count | Front of the bottle | 30 GUMMIES. One serving a day, so thirty days |
| Supplement Facts panel | Back of the bottle | Seven itemised actives and no Other Ingredients line. Transcribed here |
| Distributor | On the label | Vitalifes |
| Front-panel icons | Front of the bottle | A lightning bolt, a flame and a heartbeat. Not claims, and not certifications |
What you can check yourself
Check the seal is intact
Before anything else. The label says do not use the product if it is damaged or missing, and that instruction exists for a reason.
Read the lot and best-before, and write them down
Two minutes now saves a difficult conversation later. If you ever need to report a reaction, these are the first two things anyone will ask for. If no best-before is printed on your bottle at all, that is worth a call.
Count the gummies
The panel says thirty servings per container. This is the only quantity on the whole product you can verify yourself without a laboratory, and it takes ten seconds.
Look for fusing or a sticky surface
Gummies that have merged into a block, or that are tacky enough to leave residue, have been hot or damp in transit. Not dangerous, but it makes the one-a-day serving hard to follow and it is a reason to call rather than to prise them apart.
Compare the panel against our transcription
Line by line, against the label page. Seven itemised actives, 84 mcg of vitamin D3, 10 mg of sodium, 7 mg of boron, four botanicals at 100 mcg each.
Look for an Other Ingredients line
We could not find one on the images supplied. If your physical bottle has one, that is genuinely good news and we want a photograph of it — email [email protected] and we will correct this site the same week.
What nobody can check
This is the part most batch-verification pages leave out, and it is the part that matters.
- Whether the 100 mcg is actually in there. Verifying a hundred micrograms of a botanical extract in a sugar matrix is a demanding analytical problem. A laboratory could attempt it; you cannot.
- Whether the vitamin D3 is 84 mcg. This is the number that matters most for safety and it is the one you have no way of confirming.
- Whether the tribulus is tribulus. The Latin name on that row is fenugreek's. Only a laboratory running botanical identification could settle what is in that row, and none is named.
- What is in the gummy base. No Other Ingredients list is published, so there is nothing to verify against.
- Purity, heavy metals, microbial counts. These need a laboratory and a certificate of analysis. We hold reference HOR-8312-26-TH and no document.
- Whether your bottle is from the lot in the seller pack. Lots change constantly. A different lot number on your bottle is normal, not a warning sign.
Why we print the draft references at all
Because HOR-26/TH-8312 and HOR-8312-26-TH are what we were given, and hiding them would be its own kind of dishonesty. Labelling them as draft references rather than presenting them as proof is the accurate treatment. A site that shows you a certificate reference without the certificate, and does not say so, is inviting you to assume a document exists.
If something does not match
My lot number is different from the one on this site
That is expected. Lots change with each production run. The number in our pack is a draft reference, not the only valid lot.
My panel says something different from your transcription
Then your bottle is right and our page needs fixing. Email [email protected] with a photograph and we will correct it.
There is no best-before date on my bottle
Call the order desk on +1 (302) 200-3480 and ask. No date is legible on the images supplied to us either, which is why it is on our list of things this label does not publish.
The seal was broken on arrival
Do not take it. Photograph it and call +1 (302) 200-3480 the same day.
The gummies have fused into one block
Call the order desk. It means the parcel was hot, and it makes the label's one-a-day serving impossible to follow accurately.
There are fewer than thirty gummies
Call the order desk with the order ID. The panel promises thirty servings per container and that is a checkable claim.
Can I get the certificate of analysis?
Ask the order desk. We were not supplied with one and cannot send you a document we do not hold.
Is there a serial or QR code to scan?
Nothing supplied to us mentions one, and no public batch lookup exists for this product.
What a certificate of analysis actually contains
This site holds a certificate reference and no certificate, and calls that reference a draft. It is worth setting out what the document would contain if it existed, so that the gap is a specific thing rather than a vague one.
| Section | What it reports | Why it matters on this product |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | That each ingredient is the species claimed, usually by chromatography or DNA | This is the line that would settle what is in the tribulus row, given that the Latin name printed beside it belongs to fenugreek |
| Potency / assay | The measured amount of each active against the label | The 84 mcg of vitamin D3 is the figure most worth confirming, because it is the only one with a safety ceiling attached |
| Heavy metals | Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury against limits | Standard for any botanical product; nothing specific to this one |
| Microbiology | Total counts, yeast, mould, pathogens | Relevant to a moist, sugar-based format more than to a dry capsule |
| Physical / organoleptic | Appearance, weight, moisture | On a gummy this is what would catch a batch that sets badly or picks up moisture |
A certificate is batch-specific, dated and signed by a named laboratory. A reference number without the document behind it is an internal tracking string, which is why this site labels it as one rather than presenting it as evidence.
The one number on this product you can check
Everything on this page is about limits, so it is worth ending on the thing that is not limited.
The panel says Servings Per Container: 30. That is a quantitative claim about the physical contents of the jar in your hand, and it is the only one you can verify without a laboratory. Count them. It takes ten seconds and it is the single most concrete piece of verification available to a supplement buyer anywhere.
If the count is short, call the order desk with the order ID. If it is right, you have confirmed one line of the panel yourself, which is one more than most people ever manage on any supplement they buy.
If your bottle differs from this site
The transcription on this site was made from product photographs supplied in a seller pack. Your physical jar is a better source than any photograph, and if the two disagree, yours is right and this site is wrong.
Three differences would be worth telling us about specifically. A best-before date, because none is legible on the images we hold and it is on our list of things this label does not publish. An Other Ingredients list, because we could not find one and its absence is finding 6. And any difference in the amounts, because those are the figures this entire site is built on.
Send a photograph to [email protected]. A correction changes the page and moves the Last updated date, and on a site whose whole argument rests on a transcription being accurate, that is the most valuable message anyone can send us.
Check the bottle, then decide
Thirty gummies, one a day, every active itemised — and the four botanicals the product is sold for come to 0.4 mg between them. The live price and the return terms are both shown on the seller’s checkout screen.
