What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Amino Complex sits in the top 4% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

With 39 ingredients on the label, Amino Complex is one of the more extensive amino acid/protein supplement formulas from The Vitamin Shoppe in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, amino acid, other, protein, mineral, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 39-ingredient formula, 39 of 39 do not carry a reported percentage Daily Value in the source record. That missing field does not establish whether an FDA reference value exists.

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. 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.

About the DSLD database

The DSLD is a label database, not an FDA approval list, under the 1994 DSHEA framework, dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, and label information reflects what manufacturers self-declare rather than independent laboratory verification. This page presents factual label data for reference only and is not medical advice; consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about any supplement.
