What the Label Data Shows
With 24 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 10 nutrient categories, other, mineral, vitamin, blend, and 6 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.
Across a broader 24-ingredient formula, 24 of 24 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 2017-11-20. On-market products are currently being distributed in the United States, though the DSLD does not verify the accuracy of label claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
