What the Label Data Shows

Chitosan 500 mg Plus Chromium is a compact, 5-ingredient other combinations supplement from NOW, sold in capsule form, cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD). These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, mineral, complex carbohydrate, other, fatty acid, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

With only 5 ingredients on the label, 5 of 5 fall outside the FDA's reference-intake system -- a tight formula built mostly from botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds without a set Daily Value benchmark, which is routine for a focused label like this one.

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 2025-06-25. This product is actively distributed in the U.S. right now. As with every DSLD entry, that listing reflects the manufacturer's self-declared label, not an independent safety or efficacy review.
