The checks, one by one

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

“7 grams soluble fiber necessary per day GMP Quality Assured: NPA A-rated GMP”

“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

Checks outIs 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

Checks outWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 733739059758.

Evidence and sources

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

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

The label amount is shown beside the ranges used in the linked ingredient studies.

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.
