What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, NAC 1000 mg sits in the top 75% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

NAC 1000 mg is a compact, 5-ingredient amino acid/protein supplement from NOW, sold in tablet or pill form, cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD). These ingredients span 5 nutrient categories, non-nutrient/non-botanical, fiber, fatty acid, mineral, and 1 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

With only 5 ingredients on the label, 5 of 5 lack a reported percentage Daily Value in the source record, so their regulatory reference status remains unspecified here.

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 2014-08-26. 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

The DSLD is a label database, not an FDA approval list, under the 1994 DSHEA framework, dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, and label information reflects what manufacturers self-declare rather than independent laboratory verification. 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.
