What the Label Data Shows

L-Arginine & L-Citrulline is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a amino acid/protein supplement built from 15 ingredients from GNC, sold in other (e.g. tea bag) form. These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, other, amino acid, fatty acid, non-nutrient/non-botanical, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 15-ingredient formula, 15 of 15 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. 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

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.
