What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Direct B-12 sits in the top 35% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

Direct B-12 is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 12 ingredients from Foster Regal, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, vitamin, botanical, non-nutrient/non-botanical, fatty acid, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 12-ingredient formula, 12 of 12 have no percentage Daily Value reported in this DSLD source record, so the available data cannot establish their FDA reference status.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2022-02-23. 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.

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.
