What the Label Data Shows

Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a fat/fatty acid supplement built from 7 ingredients from NOW, sold in softgel capsule form. These ingredients span 2 nutrient categories, fat, other, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 7-ingredient formula, 7 of 7 fall outside the FDA's Daily Value system altogether, expected for a broader formula -- the more ingredients a label lists, the more likely it accumulates botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2012-10-25. An off-market listing means production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.
