What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Betaine HCL and Pepsin sits in the top 65% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

Betaine HCL and Pepsin is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a other combinations supplement built from 6 ingredients from Dr. Mercola, sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, non-nutrient/non-botanical, enzyme, other, vitamin, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 6-ingredient formula, 6 of 6 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 2024-03-22. 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.
