What the Label Data Shows

With 23 ingredients on the label, California Grown Spirulina 500 mg is one of the more extensive non-nutrient/non-botanical supplement formulas from The Vitamin Shoppe in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, mineral, other, non-nutrient/non-botanical, vitamin, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 23-ingredient formula, 23 of 23 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.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2016-02-23. 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
