What the Label Data Shows

Better C 500 mg is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 12 ingredients from Nature's Gifts, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, other, mineral, non-nutrient/non-botanical, vitamin, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 12-ingredient formula, 12 of 12 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 2013-07-25. 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production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.
