Amazon tightened the rules for supplements earlier this year, and the bit I thin

Amazon tightened the rules for supplements earlier this year, and the bit I think will catch most brands out isn't the lab testing, it's the words on the listing.
Amazon's position now is that any claim on your detail page that isn't supported by your supplement facts panel can be treated as misleading, and a misleading listing is one they can pull. So all the benefit statements that crept in over the years, written by copywriters optimising for conversion rather than a regulator reading for accuracy, have quietly turned from an asset into a liability.
We saw this up close recently on a content refresh for a premium collagen brand on Amazon UK. The hero product converts somewhere between 10 and 20%, and the obvious move is to copy that winning formula across the weaker ASINs. But when you line the existing copy up against what each label actually substantiates, years of drift show up, claims nobody ever checked because there was never any pressure to.
There is now. The brands that get ahead of this will audit their own listings, find the gaps, and fix them on their own terms. The ones that don't will have Amazon find the gaps for them, usually by taking the listing down first and asking questions later.
If you sell supplements, the safe assumption is that at least a few of your claims don't fully line up, and it's a great deal cheaper to find that out yourself.
