What the Label Data Shows
Mega Benfotiamine 250 mg is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 8 ingredients from Life Extension, sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, vitamin, other, mineral, fiber, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.
Across a broader 8-ingredient formula, 8 of 8 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 off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2016-04-22. Off-market products are no longer being produced or distributed under this label, but the DSLD preserves their historical label data for researchers, consumers checking older bottles, and for tracking how formulations have evolved.
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.
