What the Label Data Shows

With 16 ingredients on the label, L-Arginine 1000 mg is one of the more extensive amino acid/protein supplement formulas from GNC in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in other (e.g. tea bag) form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, other, fatty acid, non-nutrient/non-botanical, amino acid, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 16-ingredient formula, 16 of 16 sit outside the FDA's reference-intake system entirely -- common at this scale, since multi-ingredient blends tend to accumulate botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked. That's expected breadth, not a red flag on its own.

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 2020-06-24. 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.

About the DSLD database
