What the Label Data Shows

With 59 ingredients on the label, ProtoMeal Natural Chocolate Flavor is one of the more extensive other combinations supplement formulas from Protocol For Life Balance in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in powder form. These ingredients span 13 nutrient categories, vitamin, mineral, non-nutrient/non-botanical, fat, and 9 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 59-ingredient formula, 59 of 59 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.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2013-08-23. 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.
