What the Label Data Shows
With 20 ingredients on the label, Active-C 500 mg is one of the more extensive botanical with nutrients supplement formulas from The Vitamin Shoppe in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, mineral, other, vitamin, blend, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.
Across a broader 20-ingredient formula, 20 of 20 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.
Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2014-05-23. An off-market listing means production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.
About the DSLD database
