Checked against public sources on July 25, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.

50capsules · 38 servings

Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product

“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.

Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed1

“water or juice and consume immediately 6 GRAMS OF SOLUBLE FIBER: A serving of psyllium husk powder supplies 6 grams of the 7 grams soluble fiber…”

“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.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Now Foods recalled a different product on May 8, 2025. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “NOW Nutritional Yeast Powder, Nt. Wt. 10oz. UPC 7 33739 02460 2”. …

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 10 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 733739059758.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 733739059758 to "Psyllium Husk Powder" (NOW®) — consistent with this listing.

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

We can see 90 of this product’s 553 reviews — the count rose between October 15, 2025 and August 28, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

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

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 463 to 553 between October 15, 2025 and August 28, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 15, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

What remains open 2
  • We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
  • Brand ownership is not settled in this record.

These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.

The panel lists 7 g of prebiotic fiber (inulin-type) per serving. Studies we found used 3 g–10 g a day, so this sits inside that range.

0studied 3 g–10 g

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
