What the Label Data Shows

With 31 ingredients on the label, Probiotic Defense is one of the more extensive other combinations supplement formulas from NOW in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, bacteria, botanical, blend, other, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 31-ingredient formula, 31 of 31 sit outside the FDA's reference-intake system entirely -- common at this scale, since multi-ingredient blends tend to accumulate botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked. That's expected breadth, not a red flag on its own.

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 2024-10-24. An on-market listing means the product is currently sold in the United States; the DSLD catalogs the label as submitted but does not independently verify the claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.

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.
