What the Label Data Shows

Protein is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a amino acid/protein supplement built from 12 ingredients from Puritan's Pride, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 7 nutrient categories, protein, other, sugar, mineral, and 3 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 12-ingredient formula, 12 of 12 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.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2011-12-23. 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.
