    New Free Tool: Check an Amazon Supplement Listing for Compliance Problems Before Amazon Does

    Paste a title, bullets and description. Get a score, a list of disease claims, banned terms, missing disclaimers and flagged ingredients, and the fix for each. Runs in your browser, no upload, no signup.

    Amazon suppresses supplement listings with a text scanner. It looks for specific words, specific missing sentences, and specific ingredients. Sellers usually find out after the listing is already down.

    I built a tool that runs the same kind of scan before you publish. It is free, and it is at brightviewstrategies.com/tools/amazon-listing-compliance-checker.

    What it checks

    • Disease claims: cure, treat, heal, remedy, prevent plus a disease name, and about forty disease terms used with treatment language
    • Amazon's banned supplement terms: weight loss, detox, antibacterial, FDA approved, fast relief and the rest
    • Missing FDA and disease disclaimers
    • Ingredients under FDA enforcement action (DMAA, SARMs, phenibut, tianeptine, sildenafil and others)
    • Title rules: length, special characters, word repetition, all caps, ampersands
    • Bullet and description rules: count, length, emoji, HTML, trailing punctuation, contact info and external links

    You get a score out of 100, each issue grouped by severity, the exact text that triggered it, and the rewrite that passes. There is a copy button so you can paste the report into a message to your copywriter or your manufacturer.

    What it does not do

    It does not read images, so it cannot check your Supplement Facts panel against the listing or review A+ content. That is the part I do in a full listing optimization and compliance review, and it is the part the 2026 policy update made mandatory.

    It also does not pull your listing from Amazon by ASIN. You paste the text. That was a deliberate choice: nothing you paste leaves your browser, there is no account, no rate limit, and no one at Brightview sees your listing unless you send it to me.

    Where the rules come from

    The rules are the same ones I use when I audit client listings. They come from Amazon's dietary supplement policy, the FDA's structure/function claim rules, and several years of watching which words actually get a listing pulled. I update them when Amazon changes something.

    If the tool flags something you think is wrong, or misses something you know Amazon catches, tell me. Every false positive I fix makes it better for the next seller.
