What the Label Data Shows
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 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. 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

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.
