What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Methyl B-12 sits in the top 43% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

Methyl B-12 is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a vitamin supplement built from 10 ingredients from Carlson, sold in lozenge form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, non-nutrient/non-botanical, botanical, vitamin, sugar, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 10-ingredient formula, 10 of 10 have no percentage Daily Value reported in this DSLD source record, so the available data cannot establish their FDA reference status.

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 2019-11-21. 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.
