What the Label Data Shows

Food-Based Calcium is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a other combinations supplement built from 12 ingredients from Rainbow Light, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, mineral, botanical, other, vitamin, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 12-ingredient formula, 12 of 12 carry no FDA reference-intake value, typical for a formula this size: larger blends tend to pull in botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds without an assigned Daily Value. Breadth like this isn't a red flag by itself.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2011-11-25. 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production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.
