What the Label Data Shows

8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a non-nutrient/non-botanical supplement built from 8 ingredients from NOW, sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, bacteria, other, blend, fatty acid, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 8-ingredient formula, 8 of 8 carry no FDA reference-intake value, typical for a formula this size: larger blends tend to pull in botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds without an assigned Daily Value. Breadth like this isn't a red flag by itself.

A product's market status is worth checking before relying on this label. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2024-05-23. An on-market listing means the product is currently sold in the United States; the DSLD catalogs the label as submitted but does not independently verify the claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
