Nature's Bounty Niacin 500mg Flush Free

Checked against public sources on July 26, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.

Does the marketing hold up?

The front says 500 mg under niacin; the panel assigns 400 mg to it. The number that sold you is larger than the amount assigned to the named ingredient. Read the panel amount, not the front-label total.

Is the dose real?Panel read — dose not verified2 ingredients listed; no advertised amount we could confirm against them
What a serving costsNo exact-match price found
Is it tested?No testing claim made
Who’s behind it?USPTO lists 3 owner recordssame brand name, more than one registrant — we don’t choose between them
Is it the real thing?Barcode matches outside records
Trouble on record?No recalls found

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Contradicted by the saved record1

“niacin 500 mg”

The listing uses 0.5 g for niacin. The panel lists niacin at 0.4 g; the other 100 mg is the rest of the listed blend. Panel addition: Niacin (as Inositol Hexanicotinate) 400 mg + Inositol (as Inositol Hexanicotinate) 100 mg = 500 mg. This documents the framing; it does not establish what is inside the product.

Checks outCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 665 to 677 between February 3 and July 20, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 665 to 677 between February 3 and July 20, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 6, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
