What the Label Data Shows

B-12 Sublingual Liquid is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 9 ingredients from Swanson Premium Brand, sold in liquid form. These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, other, vitamin, non-nutrient/non-botanical, blend, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 9-ingredient formula, 9 of 9 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 off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2018-03-23. Off-market products are no longer being produced or distributed under this label, but the DSLD preserves their historical label data for researchers, consumers checking older bottles, and for tracking how formulations have evolved.
