What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Ester-C sits in the top 11% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

With 24 ingredients on the label, Ester-C is one of the more extensive botanical with nutrients supplement formulas from Puritan's Pride in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in softgel capsule form. These ingredients span 8 nutrient categories, vitamin, botanical, other, fat, and 4 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 24-ingredient formula, 24 of 24 lack a percentage Daily Value in the available source record, leaving their regulatory reference status unspecified on this page.

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 2023-06-22. 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.

Dietary supplements are regulated under DSHEA 1994, no pre-market FDA approval is required.
