What the Label Data Shows
B-12 5,000 mcg is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 10 ingredients from NOW, sold in lozenge form. These ingredients span 8 nutrient categories, vitamin, non-nutrient/non-botanical, sugar, fiber, and 4 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.
Across a broader 10-ingredient formula, 10 of 10 sit outside the FDA's reference-intake system entirely -- common at this scale, since multi-ingredient blends tend to accumulate botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked. That's expected breadth, not a red flag on its own.
Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2015-07-24. Once a product goes off-market, it is no longer manufactured or sold under this label, yet the DSLD keeps the record intact for historical reference, useful for researchers, anyone with an older bottle on hand, or tracking how formulations changed over time.
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.
