Source and evidence

NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database — labels 8513 → 259185 (UPC 716563475017) dsld.od.nih.gov

Source fetched 2026-10-23. All 22 NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database cases.

Two label versions in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database carry the same UPC (716563475017): label 8513 (dsld.od.nih.gov) lists 250 capsules, the newer label 259185 (dsld.od.nih.gov) lists 100, with the same serving size. Year = when the newer label entered DSLD. No shelf prices in DSLD. One capsule per serving. The labels are ten years apart (2012 and 2022), so this may be a move to a smaller bottle under the same UPC rather than a hidden cut; check the price per capsule.

Check the math in the calculator.

Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “nonprescription drugs” changed +4.4% (2022 average vs 2021, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per capsule by +150.0% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
