What the Label Data Shows

With 18 ingredients on the label, Ferrous Sulfate is one of the more extensive mineral supplement formulas from Equaline in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, other, mineral, complex carbohydrate, fiber, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 18-ingredient formula, 18 of 18 fall outside the FDA's Daily Value system altogether, expected for a broader formula -- the more ingredients a label lists, the more likely it accumulates botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked.

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 2012-04-26. On-market products are currently being distributed in the United States, though the DSLD does not verify the accuracy of label claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
