What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Dr. Shade's Bitters No. 9 sits in the top 23% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

With 16 ingredients on the label, Dr. Shade's Bitters No. 9 is one of the more extensive botanical with nutrients supplement formulas from Quicksilver Scientific in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in liquid form.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2017-04-25. 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production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.

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.
