What the Label Data Shows

With 16 ingredients on the label, Muscle Recovery & Support is one of the more extensive other combinations supplement formulas from GNC Mega Men in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in other (e.g. tea bag) form. These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, other, non-nutrient/non-botanical, mineral, amino acid, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 16-ingredient formula, 16 of 16 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 on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2024-08-22. 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.
