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.
The 1.2 g calcium claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 1.2 g of calcium, and the listing-image panel shows 1.2 g calcium 2 softgels. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 15 | — | |
| Total Fat | 1 g | — | |
| Vitamin D | 25 mcg (1,000 IU) | — | |
| Calcium | 1,200 mg | — |
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
Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts
The panel carries these quoted observations: “Calories has no unit”; “Vitamin D 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.
No data yet: Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: NATURE'S BOUNTY, INC., NATURE'S BOUNTY (NY), INC., Société des Produits Nestlé S.A. (société anonyme (sa); SWITZERLAND). These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The listing claims 1.2 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Calcium at 1.2 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 956 on 2026-01-22 to 1,057 on 2026-07-20 (net +101). 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?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…Free, 2 Softgels per Day, 120 ct (Pack of 1) SUPPORTS BONE AND NEUROMUSCULAR HEALTH (1): Providing…” | Not assessed We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient-level evidence for this formula isn’t in our knowledge base yet. Recorded as not assessed — not as a negative. |
“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.

Where it sells
A brand storefront was found, but no exact-product price was published or identity-bound at build time.
Brand store naturesbounty.com: 0 supplement products — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.

Ingredient science
No knowledge-base entry yet for this formula's active ingredients — entries are added as the KB grows. Absence of a science card is a coverage gap, not a judgment.
