What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, L-Tryptophan 1000 mg sits in the top 35% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

L-Tryptophan 1000 mg is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a amino acid/protein supplement built from 12 ingredients from The Vitamin Shoppe, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, other, mineral, amino acid, fatty acid, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 12-ingredient formula, 12 of 12 do not carry a reported percentage Daily Value in the source record. That missing field does not establish whether an FDA reference value exists.

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 2016-01-25. Once a product goes off-market, it is no longer manufactured or sold under this label, yet the DSLD keeps the record intact for historical reference, useful for researchers, anyone with an older bottle on hand, or tracking how formulations changed over time.
